Welcome to The Holiday Season

Short blog this week. Pressed for time.

It's been a crazy week at work. I've spent almost 100% of my 35 hour work week at Barnes and Noble in Burlington. We've set up a gift wrapping table there and take donations to wrap gifts. It's fun and a great way to sell the brand and not be sitting at my desk all day.

Last Monday night I took a tour of Le Cordon Bleu in Cambridge. I got excited about the possibility of enrolling and all the stuff that goes with it. Until, that is, I was informed that they aren't really "affiliated" with lCB in Paris. The parent company bought the name from them. Also? They lost their accreditation. No. Not spending money on an education that doesn't mean anything in the long run. It was a fun night, though. I got to see how one does that sort of thing. Very nice, indeed.

For the First Anniversary of our First Date, Daniel sent me something lovely. Very sweet. I think I'll keep him, no?!

Roses are Red (and White)...

The apartment is getting settled. We still don't really have furniture. We're going to pick up things slowly, I guess. We both have all of our stuff in our respective homes in Florida and Georgia. I just priced moving trucks and it's reasonable but I'd also have to hire people to unload up here. I don't have friends of that caliber up here yet. LOL.

Daniel was here this weekend and we spent some time in Target looking at storage options and fun stuff. Just for the record...I have Rachael Ray pots/pans at home... I showed Daniel the other stuff I want. Like the Casseroles and the EVOO dispensers and the big dutch oven. LOL. I'm such a helpful girlfriend.

Love the casserole dishes

Conveniently offered in Orange and Blue!

Merry Christmas from Prince Redmond!

Last but not least, I became, "That Mom" by purchasing a clothing item for my dog. What? He's cold now that he's not so furry. He's constantly freezing so now he's all warm. 

That's it for this week. Work and gift wrapping is about all that's going on in my life now.

Have a great week. I'll be in Dade City in 10 days. MUAH!
