The Christmas Rush is OVER!!!

Well like Always, Christmas comes and it goes. Although I am sad to see it go, I am glad the traveling is over. Santa was good to me as always, and I had several highlights including:
Ugg boots, the new Ralph Lauren Notorious perfume, brown boots, sex and the city the movie, more pieces to my Christmas china, a coat, and the fun essentials in the stocking!

Brandon and I finally got home on Saturday, and Allison and Ryan were in town for a wedding, so they spent the night and as always, we had a FABULOUS time catching up!

Sunday was a day of undecorating, cleaning up and out, and re-arranging the house....Always makes for a good time=). I will say I am much more pleased with how my house looks! I was informed of some sad news by Tammy. The Royal Standard my FAVORITE store in downtown Homewood was going out of business=( However, everything was half off! Royal Standard sells neat unique gifts and some antiques, and they are incredibly inexpensive.

Have no fear, I was there first thing Monday morning!!! I got some presents for next year and some cute things for my house. Brandon meet me down there on his lunch break, because I dare not make a big purchase without consulting him!!! We got a pretty brass/iron light fixture for our future home (it was only $85.00) then I got a big beautifully framed beveled glass mirror it was ($100), and a pretty wreath that is not Christmas. Needless to say, I am VERY excited and pleased, however, sad that my favorite store is closing. If I can figure out how, I will post pictures of my purchases!!!! Until then, I am going to enjoy my week off and do some work for school and around the house!!!!!!
