Happy Holidays!

Katie and I are going to The Nutcracker again today.  It's the third year of our little tradition and I'm so excited! [Editor's Note:  Thank GOD I wrote this blog post otherwise I would've completely forgotten the tickets.  We bought them in July (half off!) and they've been collecting dust since then.]

Do you have any holiday traditions? 

I'm trying to start my own tradition and am about to go on a baking frenzy this weekend.  Four recipes!  Wish me luck.  I'll probably need it.

Special K Bars.
Chewy Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies.
Oreo Balls.
Cinnamon Roll Sugar Cookies.

I'm really excited to listen to Christmas music and bake.  You won't scold me if I drink champagne at the same time, right?

New Bags.

I bought BOTH the coral and black version of the Deena & Ozzy Tradition Tote.  What can I say?  It was my birthday and the reviews are incredible and each bag was only $50.

So, tell me, do you think I'm crazy to get the coral version?

UPDATE:  Yeah.  I definitely returned the coral version.  It was not a soft pink like pictured, but a scary flamingo.  Away it went.  

Girls!

No better birthday present than the new trailer for Season 2 of Girls.  I've watched it an embarrassing amount of times.

Also, I'm 30!
