Happy Friday everyone!
Well it’s Christmas Eve eve, and the anticipation of gift giving, spending time with family, and a looming vacation has turned me into a giddy school child, but at the same time, I can’t believe the holidays are almost over!
I mean, we still have our pumpkins from Halloween in the garage!
I know.
No, I know.
But seriously, where has the time gone? 2011 was definitely one of the fastest years of my life, and I am so excited for 2012 to begin. I feel like I have NO idea what is on the horizon, which is very, very exciting.
Anyways, I’ll save it for the obligatory 2011 recap post in about a week. ;)
In the meantime, here are my favorite finds from around the web this week!
Favorite “why didn’t I think of that?”: Cinnamon Toast Crunch Krispies. My favorite cereal on earth in krispie form!
Favorite wrist bling: Michael Kors Runway Rose Gold Watch. I tried this on the other day at Nordstrom and almost died. It is SO beautiful!
Favorite moment. ’nuff said.
Favorite getaway. If you ever see me lounging in a hammock hanging from a palm tree over the ocean, slap me. Then get me a pina colada.
or one of these…
Favorite sip: Skinny Clementine Martini. Perfect for those cuties that are now in season.
Favorite workout: FitSugar Full-Body Circuit Workout. I’m trying this out today as part of my LAST workout in the 20 Day Holiday Workout Challenge!!!!
Favorite switch up: Cheese Enchilada Stacks. An easier, cooler way to serve enchiladas.
Favorite party dress: ASOS Tulip Dress. They also have this in Navy. I can’t decide which one’s cuter.
Favorite Sunday supper: Ricotta Dumplings with Chevre & Herbs. Thinking I can turn my luck around with ricotta dumplings with this recipe. Plus it’s got chevre, so even it it bombs…I still have chevre! ;)
Favorite knock out holiday dessert: Dark Chocolate Peppermint Cake with White Chocolate Candy Cane Ganache. AHHH!!! :D :D :D
Favorite furball. I think…I want a dog! Ben and I are going to discuss after the holidays!
Favorite festive pumps: Sofia Vergara Women’s Tipsy Red Carpet Pump from – get ready for it – KMART! These are SO cute!
Favorite festive serving platter: DIY Mint Platters. You have to check these out – they’d be perfect for Christmas or New Years!
And with that, I am out! Wishing you all a very merry Christmas, happy holiday and spectacular new year!
We had our halloween pumpkins, I kid you not, until MAY. At first it was just laziness but then we wanted to see how long they would last if not carved. The answer is a very very long time!
I am laughing at the Girls Say video’s, so funny.. Right? LOL… omg! Super cute!
I also love that wreath… I am making that, will be easier to find than boxwood for sure!
so you do know that SGS episode 2 was released yesterday????

That breakfast casserole sounds awesome!
I love all of these favorite things!
i LOVE that video!
i crack up everytime. i made my husband watch it. he cracked up at the “did i lock the door?…..yes!” b/c that i so me! and the other day we were having lunch and these 2 girls behind us did the scream and hug thing and he looked at me and said “shit girls say!”
LOL!!!
My husband and I just started the dog search process this week. We visited the Nebraska Humane Society and had a really great experience. We didn’t find a dog that was a match but the adoption counselors helped us get a much better understanding of what we should be looking for in a dog. Now I’m much more confident in our ability to pick a dog that will be the right fit for us — and ensure that we are the right family for the dog. We are now working with the Golden Retriever Rescue organization (http://www.grrin.org/ is the Omaha, NE chapter) and are really excited about the opportunity to bring a dog into our family!
I love Sh*t Girls Say! And I agree, as funny as I thought Episode 1 was, I think Episode 2 is even funnier! Is that my water? I say that all the time!
If you’re thinking of getting a dog, check out this site http://www.coloradoci.com/serviceproviders/puppy/index.html?companion . It’s a program in the colorado prison system – the prisoners train the dogs, and then you can adopt. We got our dog from them last year !! great program!
Many of the dogs at the ARL go through a similar program. My dog was a “PAWS Program” dog, which meant he was at the women’s prison in Mitchelville before he came to live with us … already housebroken!
Sarah? Is that you?
Getting my dog Jack was the second best thing I did after marrying my husband, of course.
Great great great list! I think this is my favorite friday list EVER!
Also, I’m trying to write the Christmas Eve sermon, and Shi$ Girls Say was the perfect, hilarious distraction. Thank you! ;)
Okay, seriously, the “tipsy red carpet pump”? Who wants the word “tipsy” to describe their shoe?? It’s a good thing Sofia Vergara’s designers are better than her marketing team!!
Haha, I know right?
