Pink Lace

I pulled out this pink lace shirt to wear yesterday to finish up Christmas shopping and shopping for our 2nd Annual Christmas party which is Friday night.  It will be a small party since we are having it later this year and most people have other commitments by now, but we have lots of goodies plus I'm using some of the bottles of champagne we have left over from the wedding to make a holiday punch with champagne, frozen orange juice and cranberry juice.

Last night I made sweet and spicy nuts and some retro sausage balls.  Reminded me of all those parties we had back in the 80's.  I think I'll do deviled eggs as well since I'm in a retro mood.  That's what the holidays do to me.  This weekend I'm baking sugar cookies in all my favorite Christmas shapes.

The Murph was a little nervous with me taking over the kitchen.  He's a little protective of "his" kitchen.  He was going to take some pictures of me in there cooking since that is such a rare sight around here except for this time of the year.  Cadence was confused too.  He didn't understand why I was in there and not giving him kitty treats.  He kept meowing and coming up right behind my legs when my back was turned.  I don't trust him when he does that.  A bite is sure to follow if I'm ignoring his demands for kitty treats.  This went on almost the entire time until I gave him his treats and he went on his little way.

Demanding little kitty!

I got this Christmas Santa from my grandmother many years ago. One of my favorites.

It's been a busy week and it is going to be a busy day!

Fashion Friday - Cause I Do Sometimes Wear Things That Don't Involve Spandex (UPDATE!)

It doesn't happen often that I actually wear nornal, non-work out clothing, but when I do it looks something like this.  While I wanted to do weekly fashion blog posts when I first started this blog over a year ago, it kind of didn't go as planned because there's only so many Lululemon, Nike, or Brooks fashion posts I can do and still hope to have anyone still reading my blog.  I put work out clothes on the morning and stay in them most of the day the past few months.  I blame it on the Murph who decided one workout wasn't enough per day and decided to do two - one in the morning and one in the late afternoon.  I'm a team player so I go along.

Very Important Update!!

Okay, I lied about the spandex (you know when I said I actually wear something that doesn't involve spandex) because I just realized there's actually spandex in...

the jeans, 

fabric & care -cotton/spandex

the tank, 

•  soft tank in a classic fitted shape with light stretch. The double scoop neck looks hot layered or alone over shorts or a flirty mini.
  • Double scoop neck
  • Sleeveless
  • Fitted shape
  • Straight hem
  • Cotton/Modal/Spandex
  • Imported

the BeBe top (take my word for it - it's stretchy)

and probably in the boots too.  I wouldn't be surprised.  So practically my entire wardrobe involves spandex.  Without spandex my life is over!  I wouldn't have anything to wear.  I mean REALLY not have anything to wear.  Not like now when I look in my closet full of spandex and can't "find" anything to wear.
