No joke, this is my favorite outfit right now. I’ve worn it at least four times in the last couple weeks and I anticipate wearing it a bunch more over the holidays – especially since it is so crazy warm.

Seriously, I could rewrite the words to “These are a few of my favorite things…” to incorporate these items. I’m singing it in my head but will spare you the ridiculous lyric swap that’s going along with it.

The giddy delirium is probably because today is our last “real” day of work for the year. Yes, I’ll be back in the office for a few days before the new year but we’re entering that holiday slow period where working means organizing my office and cleaning out my inbox. We also have our company Christmas party/dinner tonight so I’m counting down to a yummy dinner at Brendon’s Catch 23 (Louisville friends – make plans to get drinks or dinner there over the next couple weeks, so good). And to top it off, our Secret Santa gift exchange.

So basically it’s a day of all things that are good. That’s what the holidays are all about right? Hope you’re having just as fun of a Thursday (and if it’s not starting out that way, there’s still time to get your holiday on to turn it around – if all else fails, make cookies).
