OLSEN'S CHRISTMAS TREE FARM

We went & got our Christmas Tree on Saturday at the cutest tree farm ever!!! Its right down the road from us.....It was a beautiful day that included an inch or so of beautiful white snow! Of course I had some fun taking photos & then funking them up a lil afterwards. Notice the last 2 pictures....Steve secured the tree on top of my car......by looping the rope through ALL of the doors.....we both had to climb through the front windows in order to get inside. HA! A few people @ the farm noticed...we gave them a good laugh! ;)

RANDOM

Is it just me or does Natalie Portman's scarf look as if it's been ripped to shreds? Odd.
I really really really want this vintage spoon/crystal decoration from ETSY.COM! Sooo unique! It would look fabulous in the small purple bedroom! It's only $35! "Six Shabby Chic Vintage Spoon Ornaments"

LOVE the new pics of Britney in the new ELLE magazine...

DELICIOUS FUN

I KNOW SOMEONE FAMOUS & THEN SOME

Look what my mom found! (see the link below she forwarded to me in an email) Sean Parker who created the music search engine Napster & is the President of Facebook & Plaxo went to my elementary school. We had classes together K-6th grade. He also swam on my neighborhood swim team. I remember him having a asthma attack after a swim meet one summer.....and I remember him being highly allergic to bees....interesting facts, I know. I haven't exactly kept in touch with him but we are friends through FB. Pretty cool huh? What an accomplished person!.....Check out who will be playing him in an upcoming movie! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh! ;)
***
FROM MY MOM: Sean Parker, is he the one you know from Napster???

DEC 3=63*

Today is December 3rd & it's 63* outside!!! (63° F 36° F )

What's up with that? We had a pretty bad storm last night that continued into this morning....(Im super HOT right now) lots of wind & lots of rain...I glanced out the window when I woke up & thought uggg how crappy & cold it looked! Sooo I showered, did my hair & put on my face, threw on my bobs, a hooded fur sweater & bundled up before (Im super HOT right now) walking out the door....only to find that the rain had stopped & the sun was out! It was BEAUTIFUL!!! I was in shock! But loving it at the same time...I decided not to change though since I needed to bolt. On my way into work almost every radio station was playing Mariah Carey's (Im super HOT right now)"All I Want For Christmas Is You"....love that song! Always will love it. But with this crazy weather, it def doesn’t feel like Christmas is just 3 (Im super HOT right now) weeks away!.....For old times sake here is MC's video for that infamous song!.....PS: Did I mention how hot I am??? I can't wait to get home & change! :)

A friend sent this to me...so I'm passing it on...you should pass it on as well...

Hey Guys,

This great cause is back…Put a Soldier on your Christmas List this year! I do this every year and the soldiers are sooooo appreciative. It really helps to make their holidays special. This year, I thought I’d spread the word so maybe others would do it too….and we’d get to even more soldiers! :)

Basically you send a holiday card to the below address and it’s delivered to service members and/or their families:

Holiday Mail for Heroes
P.O. Box 5456
Capitol Heights, MD 20791-5456

Here’s the link from the American Red Cross with the full details: http://www.redcross.org/holidaymail
