well - um - hello there!



hi loves - YES i'm alive and well - i've been disconnected from blogland - well actually entire Internet land - i'm back for a quick second tho - don't worry loves, i'll be back in full force soon enough! - i can see 2011 already, looking bright and happy to me!

here's the super quick roundup

1. i got cookies sent to me Christmas Eve by a friend - made me cry :o)
(they were good karma smiley face cookies - i love good vibes)
2.  my 'hosting' gig went so well - everyone was impressed!
3.  Christmas was lovely, no complaints, just smiles and laughter!
4.  I got more presents then i EVER would of expected
5.  my Nieces birthday (26th) got bamboozled by a blizzard, but Joe and I made it to see her
6.  Yesterday took me over 4 hours of snow blowing to SEE my car
(got over 32 inches of snow in Jersey)
7.  i got to play in the snow, by myself, but i have to admit - felt like a kid again!
(got to wear my new snow boarding pants, so that was a plus)
8.  i'm beyond sore and still so tired
(but it's getting better - i have all sorts of bruises i have no idea what from - strange) 
9.  i'm a lil bummed i didn't get to go after Christmas shopping for all the sales
(b/c the blizzard came and yesterday it was ALL about cleaning up after it)
(really wanted to get to Pier 1 and Target for holiday decor for next year)
10.  Mom's surgery for gallbladder went super well - she goes in for first dose of radiation today (breast cancer) - other surgery will be done in Philadelphia in the new year - but she's been such a trooper! - so proud of her!
11.  i'm just so happy my loves, i'm just super blessed and happy - i couldn't ask for a better life!


HOPE EVERY ONE'S HOLIDAY WAS BEAUTIFUL!

  1. Omg the snow was ridicolous!! I'm happy tho it started on Sunday after Christmas. It took me a while to dig out my car & my parents! Aww I'm glad to hear your hosting went well!!! I'm going to TRY to hit up the sales today but the roads up here are still pretty bad. NY really needs to get a grip on the plowing situation. So happy your Mom is doing great & prayers to her & best wishes that her first dose goes smoothly! I'm rooting for you guys! Have a great week Erika!! Be careful!!

  2. I didn't get to do much after Christmas shopping either. The parking lots were always full. And whenever I finally found myself inside the mall, I was quickly back out again because I honestly hate going shopping when it is jam packed with people.

  4. I love that your friend sent you cookies- I love things like that :)

    My new year's eve outfit will also be my 30th bday outfit, since they're the same day :) It's a hot mess but it makes me smile. I bought a tutu!!! And I have leopard tights and a purple sequin tank and my favorite purple ugg boots. Yup. Mismatched and awful, but all my favorite things so I plan to wear them all and smile!!
