Heading out to the first of two Christmas parties this evening. I would much rather be in my Jammie's..

I never doubted their love for a second. My daughter is just a little more mature or sophisticated than my son.

I heard something similar while half listening to Dennis Miller tonight on O'Reilly. I wish I was that smart!

Oh I agree. It's terrible.

Yup, and don't forget ego.

With Thanksgiving so late this year, I just realized my NYC trip is NEXT weekend! Woohoo! I hear they are lighting the 'Affordable Holiday Tree' in Rockefeller Center tonight. ;-)

Well, like I said, those tickets were bought with my teenaged daughters earnings from her first job. She wanted to take her mother to the ballet. It wasn't a mansion, I can tell you that, and I haven't the faintest idea whose production it is. But I loved every second.

It was fun! Not sure that particular school is her first choice, but we went anyway. :-)

True. The skies here have been on fire this past week!

Lots of love and laughter. That's all I need..

My mother, stepdad and sister arrived safe and sound in Massachusetts last evening. Having them all over for dinner tonight!

Getting a much needed massage after a very long week, and to prepare for another stretch of stress.
