Holy Crap it's 2013

Well that was fast. 2012 was a complete blur. Not unlike the New Years eve I experienced. My friend J mentioned this black tie event thingy at a fancy museum. Hubs and I jumped at the chance. Dressing up is few and far between these days. New York was a constant dress up party. Minnesota….…

Day of Gluttony aka Thanksgiving

We’ve been going nonstop since we moved in. Thanksgiving weekend was no exception. Husband was obsessed with going to the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. I was not interested.

My Name is Cupid Valentino…

In my book, Outkast is the bizzle. This will be the second year in a row that I’ve used a line from an Outkast song for the title of my Valentines post. What do you think that says about me? That I’m a badass gangsta? Yeah thats what I was thinking too. So I’m actually…
