This is a tear~jerker...but too inspiring not to watch. I'll let the video speak for itself.

I've Injured Myself Yawning...
Well, not really.
But this picture I came across while surfing the net {do people even say that anymore?} pretty much sums up my two-week Christmas vacation in a nutshell.
...And I'm lovin' every minute of it.
Here's to a relaxing end of 2011!

Monday Manicure
Like I've said before, I'm sort of a freak about painting my own nails. I actually just realized that I haven't NOT had nail polish on my nails since June...is that bad?
Today I ventured out of my comfort zone and decided I'd try the Shellac Manicure phenomenon.
We'll see about this!

{31Bits} Free Shipping For a Good Cause!
Kallie Dovel, traveled to Uganda in the summer of 2007, getting a first- hand look at life in Northern Uganda. While she was there, she met women making paper beads but who lacked a plan to market and sell them. After spending time in their homes and hearing their stories, Kallie knew there had to be a way to give opportunities to her new friends. She brought a box of jewelry back to the U.S., and spent the next year finishing her degree and dreaming up the concept of a development organization. She brought a few friends on board and her ideas quickly evolved into 31 Bits. The girls traveled back to Uganda in August 2008, and selected six women to begin buying jewelry from on a monthly basis. Since then, we have grown to 99 women; each with a unique story of suffering that has been overcome with joy and liberation.

Not Your Average "Food Truck"
OK, maybe I've been living under a ROCK for the last few years, because when I heard that we were having two food trucks visit our campus, I just didn't get that excited.
The lunch I had packed myself was less than appetizing, so I gave the food truck Barcelona OntheGo a shot. OH.MY.GOODNESS.
This is what I ordered: USDA Prime Top Sirloin & Fries with Chimichurri
We have The Lime Truck coming on Thursday...can't wait!
Have you ever tried any of these fancy gourmet food trucks?

It's Beginning to Sound a lot like Christmas...
My best friend just cent me the Amy Grant ~ Home for Christmas CD and I can't stop listening to it.
Christmas music has to be some of the most nostalgiac music around. This particular CD reminds me so much of my best friend and the many Christmases we spent together as kids, teens, and adults.
Which Christmas albums/songs are your favorites?
