I don't know how I managed to accomplish hosting a cookie exchange party and visit Winterhaven during one of the busiest weekends, but I did. It seems that I've been living every moment of life to its fullest. It's been a little stressful at times but so well worth it. Hosting a cookie exchange only... Continue Reading →
Day 13 – Let It Glow
Hundreds of fluorescent trees and neon halo lights "Let It Glow" throughout the Downtown Disney District at the Disneyland Resort. This whimsical, colorful celebration of the season was not a traditional one, but rather an innovative spin to the holiday gallery of trees that many are used to seeing. The trees vary in height and... Continue Reading →
Day 12 – Let’s Tour Universal Studios
Christmas can be chaotic and crazy, but it is also a beautiful and meaningful time of year. I find that the most meaningful are all of the little things experienced with loved ones like baking, laughing, and taking in all of the sights and sounds of Christmastime. For the past couple of years my sisters... Continue Reading →
Day 10 – Cleaning the Car for a Trip
Thursday, the night before I set out on my road trip has arrived. My original Thursday evening plans were to attend a holiday singalong, but the show was sold out by the time I decided to purchase tickets online. So instead of venturing out after work, I stayed home to clear out the car for... Continue Reading →

One of my favorites to follow... Continue Reading →

Absolutely Nothing
We've coined ourselves The 3 Musketeers. Recently Igor, Michael and I have found ways to amuse ourselves by adding some humor to the ever-present pressure of our careers. Over the last few weeks we managed to find a way to squeeze an 8.5 foot tall Christmas tree into my hybrid, taste test Krakus cookies from... Continue Reading →
“Me Time”
Fall has grown to be my favorite time of year. Even though where I live I don't get to witness the leaves changing color or feel the crispness in the air as temperatures dip. I do get to see Venus in the fall night sky nearly every night. Maybe fall is special to me because it's... Continue Reading →
Day 9: Amsterdam To The U.S.
Better late than never! It's Saturday as I start to write this from my bedroom. I'm now back home. My scrape from the bicycle crash looks worse than day 1 but it's healing as are my bruises. I've had a case of jet lag that has made catching up difficult until now. I'll rewind a couple... Continue Reading →
