I love great books, good food, House music, creative profanity, and a well tailored suit.
Last year we had guests and I cooked and I had to juggle so many dietary preferences. It was a LOT. This year, we decided to be lowkey. It'll just be my husband, and my sons this year. Open our gifts and we'll go out to dinner.
18. What are you planning to do this Christmas?

I don;t get into it like I used to when I was younger, but the snow, lights in the neighborhood, and the music.

A guy I was dating gave me a key to his apartment.
He gave me the key like a) I had been asking for it (I had no desire) and b) like it was a ring (thank goodness it wasn't that either). And he made a whole damn production out of it.
Like, sir, we are not in it for the long haul!

My husband was always complaining he never had time to go to the gym, so I got him a home gym -- weight bench, weights, battle ropes, pull up station, mats, plyometric blocks, treadmill
to be fair... the treadmill was for me...

As a kid... I got a Barbie styling head and everything to go with it. And a real electric typewriter.
As an adult, my husband surprised me with heated leather seats and an auto starter/warmer for my car.

Yes. My childhood memories of the Holidays were like what you see on tv. The house was decorated to the max, watched all the Rankin/Bass shows, music, food and family everywhere...

Just finished Turns of Fate, the first book in the Isle of Wyrd series by Anne Bishop.
Can't remember the last time I got so immersed in a book I had to force myself to stop reading and pace myself.
I loved her 'The Others' series and this reminded me a little of that series.

Oh, why am I so invested in these strangers' happiness? Good for them!
And I especially love this because there has been a lot of men out here speaking tomfoolery about her and him and now she is effortlessly demonstrating not only is she a baddie, she is a multi-dimensional one.

The Leslie stuff on #BeyondTheGates is so frustrating. Why create a powerful black family like the Duprees and have them crumble like a dry cookie in the face of Leslie's schemes? And then turn around and reward her?
I get the actress is fun to watch but there needs to be consequences.

ARGH! So good. This writing team writes exactly to my happy place. Now I sit impatiently and wait for the next one. I am so invested in Ada (and Bear!) and what she will do next.
