Interesting site of the week...

I'm slightly skeeved out by this web site but my fiancee heard about it on NPR this morning and I thought I'd share.

Property Room is a police auction site. Things that they've confiscated from "alleged"(see how legally savvy I am?) criminals are posted on this site and you can bid on them.

Why does it skeeve me out? Because I just know that I'd buy a ring hiding a stolen diamond or map to 300 kilos of coke or secret formula that the "criminals" would come after me for. I can't take that risk, people. I have so much to live for.

Oh sure, I know what you're thinking. "Girl, you read too many cheesy airport novels." Well you're right but things happen to me that just don't happen to other people. And I can't take that chance.

But you...you should TOTALLY buy something pretty and tell me all about it.

Long awaited post...

OMG ya'll. How is it almost January? Seriously. Because I'm fairly certain it was January like, I don't know, four days ago. My last New Years hangover feels like just yesterday and already it's time to prepare for the next one. (read: stockpile Gatorade, dump the Advil into a candy dish, and have McDonald's delivery service on speed dial)

I love the holidays. I love Christmas shopping and decorations, wrapping presents, singing carols, stuffing my face with turkey, and temporarily cold weather. There's just one thing the holidays bring that I don't love. And that's the weird vortex that sucks away all your free time. I know I'm popular but sweet lord I'm not THAT popular. And yet with all the holiday preparations, work commitments, family commitments, travel planning and whatnot I haven't even been able to pick up my wedding dress which has been ready since Wednesday. MY WEDDING DRESS, PEOPLE! This is serious.

I mean sure I also haven't picked up my dry cleaning or dropped off my new eye glass prescription. But having my hot pink sweater hanging in the closet and being able to see aren't NEARLY as important as the friggin' dress to end all dresses.

Alright, alright. I'm not THAT busy. I have spent the past 30 minutes YouTube-ing videos like this one:



But still.

So I apologize for not writing in awhile. I've been busy buying, serving and drinking enough wine to overflow the Hoover Dam and wrapping gifts 'til the paper cuts overtake my tiny fingers. And you know what? I can't wait to do it again! So until next time please accept the following fun new blogs as my holiday gift to you:

Cute Things Falling Asleep

and my sister's new Mommy Blog, The Shelfer Show. (it's new so give her some time to get with the photo/video upload program...and do pass along to your FWBs...friends with babies.)

Happy holidays dear readers! And a happy new year!
