Blawg! Merry Christmas. This will be my last entry for a while…I’m planning on taking a nice looooong* Christmas-inspired break from the ol’ blogeroo. Meanwhile, here are some pictures from our Snarfing Fast Food while Gazing at Fancy Christmas Lights Night, which included the dogs (in the back seat). I fed Maggie some whipped cream off the top of my chocolate shake, which for some reason completely disgusted Josh. Well geez I didn’t want to waste it.

I’m really really really looking forward to having some time off from work to vegetate with family and not feel like I have to be doing 300 things all day long. It’s going to be great!

Josh and I both had to work today to make up for taking time off next week. He’s currently out bicycling with his muncle and I just whipped up a big batch of sugar cookie dough for us to bake together later on. Maw.

I even used my Kitchen Aid mixer, which I have probably used less than 5 times since we received it for a wedding gift back in 2008. I’m so used to hand-mixing everything that using the Kitchen Aid is always more of a hassle. Nevertheless, it makes a for cute photo op due to the obnoxious bubble gum pink hue so I took a self-portrait with the mixer and texted it to my mother-in-law and sister-in-law (who were SHOCKED and APPALLED that I don’t use my Kitchen Aid more than I do). Like, daily or weekly. What can I say? Carbs are not my friend.

On the right hand side of this photo was my favorite light display–it simply says: DITTO with an arrow pointing to the neighbor’s lights. HA!

Merry Christmas, blog-logs! I hope the next week is filled with joy and relaxation and positive memories for you! I’ll be back at some point before 2015 for my year-end recap.

* A little over a week, TOPS.
