Life's A Beach

I finally made it to the beach!!  Last Sunday, I got a much deserved beach break with my fam.  We (my sister, bro and cousin) got to frolic in the water and have fun in the sun.  I need to make some friends so I can have an adult beach trip.  Adult beverages included.

The water was way too sandy, but it was still a nice reprieve from my daily duties.  I bought a beach wig. It's big and curly, wait till y'all see it!

Family Affair

Today my family and I went out to dinner to celebrate both my brother and sister in law's birthdays.  We went to Venezia's, it's on the water and the view was beautiful.  The food was delicious and the vibe was fun and nostalgic.  

Tis the Season

This post is picture heavy, but I thought there were so many great shots and I couldn’t narrow it down to four.  Anyhoo, this is what I wore to go out with my sis tonight.  We did a regular club night.  Looking through these pics, I’m loving the black on black look.  I think my take on it was feminine, timeless, fierce and tough yet sexy.  My sis however thought that I was too covered up, and she quipped that I looked like I was going to church.  What do you think, would I receive a blessing in this getup?

Yankee Doodle

My stepbrother and his wife had a Yankee Swap last night.  I had a great time, imbibed in way too much spirits, but hey I wasn’t driving and it was all in the comfort of some one’s home so no harm no foul right?  I’ve never really understood that saying but oh well, all’s well that ends well.  I just did it again didn’t I?  Darn English language!! For those that aren’t really into the excessive consumerism that comes with Xmas, try having a Yankee Swap with friends and family.  Good clean fun, and if it gets a little messy, someone will probably have won a Shamwow that they wouldn’t mind lending out.  I lucked out with my gift, some people got gag gifts like a Lord of the Rings dvd, a Hello Kitty lamp and a bottle of vodka.  Some people like to have fun with the items they bring but I actually prefer to give someone something that they can either use for themselves or regift.  Have you ever hosted or been to a Yankee Swap?
