8 things i found on the internet today.

boy oh boy, has this blog ever gone through such a lull?? i think not. well, you see, what happened was that my boss left me for another woman ... assistant, in a different department and left me here to hold down the fort (aka - do nothing). doing nothing for a few days turned into me asking everyone for work, which has turned into me doing everything for everyone. i love it.

^^^ that's my excuse, take it or leave it. but whatever you do, look at these 8 things i found on the internet today:

1. 8 ways to be attractive
2. habits of supremely happy people
3. jay z in new york in 1939
4. 10 qualities of fierce gentleman
5. this is water (reminiscence of the gospel principle "to act and not be acted upon")
6. this mustache!!! 
7.  lip sync battle on jimmy fallon
8. and finally, a fireman reviving a kitten

how can i make this work with my decor?

i fell upon this today as i was searching for an image of toast.

christmas spirits.

no, not like the distilled alcoholic beverage, but like the liveliness that comes upon hearing "it's beginning to look a lot like christmas".

i've been perusing the world wide web for days looking for the best prices on christmas goods. man, do i love me some online shopping. it is just so easy to spend money in the cyber world. and that victory you feel when you get 25% off or free shipping or a bonus with your purchase, you just can't beat it!

in my perusing i found the perfect jammies for christmas eve night the holiday edition of anthology magazine. look it up. GREAT gift guide. great.
