It's gonna be a cozy holiday!

We went with the "Cozy Holiday"cards from Paper-Source....can't wait until they come!!

'Tis the Season...well, almost!

I can not, for the life of me, decide what Christmas Card to send out this year. This is the first year that a majority of my friends are living out of Oak Lawn, so I thought it would be a great year to grow up, be an adult and start sending Christmas (or "Holiday") Cards. I found some pretty great options from Paper-Source and Papyrus, but I can't really decide. I gave these options to Erik so he can weigh in on the decision...

Maybe I'm jumping the gun a little bit, but I can't wait to start decorating and baking and bundling up and getting cozy. I love the holidays and I want them to start now!!!! Besides, it takes a long time to write all of those cards...I just want to get a head start.

Special K Update

Well...we did it. It didn't really do anything for me (except force me to eat more than I usually do). Erik says that he thinks he lost weight, but not a whole jeans size. Oh well!

On another food-related note, I'm going to try cooking more. Now that I don't have rehearsals every night (at least for a little while) I have more time and energy when I get home from work. I usually just guess how to make things, but I think I'm going to try actually looking at recipes and making things correctly. I also want to find something awesome that I can make and bring to my family's Thanksgiving. The women in my family are pretty much all super-cooks, so it will be pretty difficult to impress them.

I may, from time to time, post some recipes that I've tried or am thinking of trying. Maybe this will turn into a topic for my blog! Right now it's just kind of anything...

And my boyfriend is awesome.
