This week is going by too quickly. It’s been a busy one, which has been good because at least its kept my mind off Thursday night.
>>What’s happening Thursday night? Oh, yeah. So the apartment complex I live in hired me to be the photographer for an event they’re hosting. I’ll let that sit with you for a moment. I’m not really sure how it happened, but I’m excited slash super effing nervous. I know it’ll be just fine; I know how to take pictures. But this is the first time I’ve been hired to do it. I’m rollin’ with it.
>> This year’s Christmas is officially sponsored by Amazon Prime. Okay, no, not actually. I mean hey, Amazon…if you want to sponsor me, I won’t say no. But I have done 99% of our shopping on Prime. I was using my sister’s account, but I went ahead and signed up for our 30 day free trial (and I’m pretty sure we’ll purchase it afterwards) so that J could use it to. Life. Saver.
>> Lauren tweeted a few days ago that because of adult coloring books, Crayola colored pencils are the Tickle Me Elmo of 2015. She was totally right. I gave one of those for a brunch white elephant gift along with a Starbucks gift card and what were supposed to be colored pencils (tell me that doesn’t sound like a perfect relaxing outing?) but I couldn’t find the pencils anywhere! I finally stumbled across a set of erasable ones that were more expensive that I wanted to pay, but what was I going to do at that point? Supply and demand, supply and demand. Sheesh!
>> Blogging has been and will be sporadic until the New Year. I’d apologize for it, but I’m not sorry. I do appreciate that you all hang around here though, and I do want you to know what to expect. Stuff & Things will be happening every week regardless of anything else. But posts will be here and there until the first week of 2016 (let it be known that I only caught this when I was editing. I’d initially written 2015. D’oh). Go! Enjoy this time with your families and friends! We’ll all be here after the New Year, right?
>> ATA and I did our gift exchange and sushi date tonight (Wednesday, as I’m typing this) and I’m so glad we made time to sneak this in before she heads off to NY for xmas break. Can I just say I think Nannies need an Xmas break, too. In fact, I think anyone who works with kids need a good 2 weeks off. Instead, I’ll be working extended hours. But anyway! J managed to find a Luke Keuchly jersey on super duper sale and insisted we grab it for her. Good choice, husband, she loved it!
>> I’m getting back into my running groove and it’s been so good. I’m trying to get back into my every other day habit. My life just makes more sense when I’m running. I was terribly confused, though, when my fitbit buzzed on me at 3PM today. Oh. Duh. I went for a run this morning!
Okay friends, that’s it for me today.
I haven't jumped on the adult coloring book bad wagon yet, but I am close lol! It just sounds so relaxing but I'm not sure when I actually relax… 🙂 Pretty cool that you are being hired as a photographer – you'll do great tonight!!
You are going to rock the pictures, don't even sweat it!!!! And that is hilarious about the colored pencils. I am going to have to look next time I am out just to see! Good luck tonight!!
Awesome on the photography deal! Do you have a portfolio or site of your work? Also kudos to you on running. In the last four weeks I have became an out of shape glob…hating it right now….as I bake for everyone and taste test…dammit. Maybe I should cry and color? Bahaha.
Amazon Prime is amazinggggg. I shop there more than I do anywhere besides the grocery store. I ordered Godiva hot chocolate on Monday, upon coming home to it on Wednesday… I think my husband is now a believer. I'm also counting the hours until my two weeks off – we're down to 9 – and I can't wait!
Good luck tonight!!! You're going to do awesome!
I hear so much raving about Amazon Prime. I might just have to check it out! Good luck tonight. I already know you'll be great!

How exciting, you're going to be a great photographer! I hope you have fun. 🙂
Oh prime has played a big role in our season too…we pay for it, its worth it!
I don't know if you're aware of this (because I wasn't initially!) but if (when) you get Amazon Prime, you can set up different "accounts" under the same account so J won't get emails if you order something that's going to be a gift for him and vice versa.
yay for running! you go girl. love the every other day thing. i might try that. hmm.
allllllllll of my shopping has been through amazon. they have everything!
My blogging has been sporadic too, tis the season! Congrats on photographing the event tonight, can't wait to hear how it goes! <3

I'm so excited that you got PAID to take pictures!
Sounds like you did great last night!! 🙂 Yes…I ordered almost everything from Amazon Prime! Do you have an affiliate account with them? Oh yay! NY! I swear it'll be forever before I make it back there.
