Thrift Store Find

Came to seventy five cents thanks to the half off sale!

Charlie Brown

The past few years have found us in small spaces, and we ditched the whole Christmas tree thing awhile back. This year, however, I happened upon a true "Charlie Brown" tree while shopping with my mom.

I can't imagine it has more than a few days of life left, but we're hoping the wreath hung on the inside of our front door will fill the house with that beloved smell of Christmas!

Turkey Day Digs

A Not So Traditional Thanksgiving

We celebrated Thanksgiving a few days early this year by cooking our first turkey!

I found a great recipe for cider glazed turkey and bourbon gravy in my favorite magazine.
Paired with mashed potatoes, stuffing, corn and cranberry sauce, Jason and I have had Thanksgiving Dinner for several meals now.

After the Turkey Trot on Thursday morning, we'll be heading up to Pacifica and camping on the coast south of San Francisco.
Just the three of us.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Treat Yo Self

I just paid way too much for this cute iPhone case.*

As I sat at the computer debating as to whether or not I should type in my way to much eBay bid, Jason encouraged me by quoting one of my favorite actors from one of my favorite shows. 

Click here to hear from my friend Tom Haverford.

I love him.

*Justification: I paid for the case with our eBay slush fund (formerly the Craigslist slush fund), which also purchased my phone...pretty cool hobby we have going on here!

Words With Friends

Our newest addiction. 

Usually I lose, but I'm getting better...kind of.

Check out this bomb I dropped on a friend the other day!
