Sorry so crappy this year loves. I am coughy, bleedy and dehydrated. Happy 2012!

Oh, and here's last year's roundup with a photo of the necklace I forgot in a fitting room at the outlets yesterday. VV drove all the way back to get it for me because I had to cook all day and didn't have time. He's my hero ♥

The other day I was at Total Wine and was looking for whiskey. As I entered the aisle I heard the man say "This is mezcal. Mezcal is made from an agave plant." I turned my head briefly to see that the man was talking to his two small children, a boy who looked to be maybe 4 or 5 and a little girl who was maybe a year or two younger than her brother (I assume). "It's spelled M-E-Z-C-A-L" he continued as I made my way past the mezcal section.

Unable to find the brand I was looking for, I turned around and started walking back the way I came. Just as I was leaving the aisle, I saw the man crouched down with his children on either side of him, pointing to a bottle on the bottom shelf saying "Now this stuff tastes bad."

I've finished my xmas shopping (I think...I hope) but haven't done any wrapping yet. I hate the holidays.

VV is back on the east coast for a couple days, it's freezing, and I have glitter all over my desk, keyboard and hands due to a particularly festive holiday card that's being sent out to a customer.

Photo above is from this morning. Light was beautiful. Outdoor temperature was less than optimal.

Got presents for peeps and pants, round cake pans and a somewhat overpriced mint lemonade from le Pain Quotidien for myself.

there's usually a street sign there

VV and I went to get dinner and then went to BevMo to browse. What we ended up getting was Leffe Brune which we haven't seen since we were in Belgium over 2 years ago and a bottle of Four Roses whiskey which I tried last weekend at Father's Office and liked.

Having a glass of it over ice right now. Also having Gummy Vites. Not over ice, though.
