merry holidays to you

Hello from sunny Hawaii.

We're here visiting The Morning Man's family in his home town of Honolulu, and I thought I'd take a quick break from the island breeze to wish you a Merry Christmas.  I hope you are all having a wonderful day with the ones you love, far away from this distracting internet.

Before we left on Saturday I painted my nails.  I tried to go big for the holidays but half way through I got much too tired and so hand #2 is a bit of a cop-out.

 I went with Santa and his sleigh dropping presents down on Hawaii for the left hand. Then 1am hit and I tried falling presents and snow for the right.

I hope you all got everything you wanted this year, and I'll see you next week, back on the "Mainland."

Happy Monday!

Has anyone finished their holiday shopping?
On Sunday morning The Man and I realized this past weekend was the last chance we had to go out shopping for Christmas presents, so we went to … The Mall … in the Suburbs! AHHHHHHHH!

It was one of those exhausting shopping days where you get back home to look at your loot and you find that somehow after all those hours and all those stores you've barely managed to cross a single loved one off your list.

So we came home and took a break from thinking of the wants and needs of our family and friends, and I spent the remainder of the evening painting some Christmas Plaid on my nails.

Next Monday The Man and I will be in Hawaii visiting his family for the Holidays, and although I can't complain, I will be seriously missing my Mom and Dad and all our wonderful traditions.

Have a great week everyone!

Well, yesterday the snow finally came.  The big downfall that won't completely melt until March or April, and that means it's officially the Christmas Season.  It's hard to get into the holiday spirit when it's 9 degrees outside and there isn't a flake or flurry insight.

To welcome the new fluffy ground cover I decided to go with snow themed nails.

This is my little snow family:

 Snowman, Snowwoman, and Snowkid

Thanks for being patient with my terrible posting habits.  Once I get back into the swing of things I'll try to stop by here much more often.
