OK, it's a few days early, but I wanted to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 'Cause this is a hectic week and if I try to remember to say it Friday, I'll forget.... :)
Thank you very much for adding my profile! I just posted a new DJ mix online that you can download... look in your bulletins.... shoot me an email if you can't find it. :)
I'm at Auntie Fumi's house for the New Year celebration (she has since stopped hosting them). I think her furniture could be accurately described as "retro." Really retro.
Thank you so much for adding Thriftonista! Keep an eye on our blog/shop (just click the boots), because we have tons of super cute stuff to come. ALL prices negotiable and we would so love to give you a great deal on our unique vintage and retro gear. xoxo T
Oh I love American Girl!! It was my favorite as a girl..I hope to have a daughter one day who will love the series as well. But yeah,, I am DREADING DREADING DREADING the day my oldest finds out Santa isn't real! He believes everything I say, and always says I don't lie to him...jeez... I almost slipped a few weeks ago when he asked for something crazy, and I was like all the money I'm spending on Christmas?? And he was like,, you don't spend money, doesn't Santa bring everything?? Flipped me out...
