More to come later, but we are truly a goofy bunch as proven by these candid shots The Boyfriend (and I) took:
I was one of THOSE people this week
You know the ones. People who don’t do a stitch of Christmas shopping until the days of December begin with a ’2′. It was just a horrible combination of time + money availability not lining up until after the 15th of the month. Then because my company is so generous with the holiday time off, [...]
