The One with the Twenty Four Days of Christmas Stories

Back in the day (I'm talking 15, 16 years ago) our dear friends the Millett's gave us a binder filled with 24 Christmas stories and accompanying songs and quotes. Every year when the holidays roll around we dust the dust off the cover and read one story every night in December leading up to Christmas. It's one of my favorite traditions and it gets my Christmas spirit soaring. I retyped the stories...

Hello, my name is Paige, and I'm a LOST fanatic. (HI PAIGE!) I'm so excited for the sixth and final season to start on February 2nd at 8/7 central. What I love about this show is nothing is certain. Lots of people have died/been killed off, but that doesn't mean they can't come back. Here is proof: This is the official season 6 poster. And almost every important character ever to appear on the show...

The One with I Be Scrappin'

The One with the Unbelievable Black Friday

I had my alarm clock set for 4:25am this morning, but I was so excited to go shopping that I woke up even before my alarm at 4:05am. I ate a bowl of cereal, took the dog out, put on some scrubbies then woke up Chris. We headed out for the only Wal-Mart within a 15 miles radius of our apartment at 4:45am.The masses and swarms of people was indescribable. But I shall try. The parking lot of this Wal-Mart...

The One with Thanksgiving 2009

Took Joey for a walk this morning and he had a fun little interaction with a Tom Cat.I know, I'm blogging about Joey like he's a baby, but he's getting so big so fast I want lots of pictures to remember him at this stage.

The One with Carol Hannah's Blog & Etsy Shop

What do me and Carol Hannah the Project Runway finalist both have in common besides the fact that we're both girls? Not a whole lot (she's blond, I'm brunette; she can sew, I most definitely cannot), but we both have blogs and Etsy shops! I was reading A Cup of Jo and every Friday she lists a bunch of things she's randomly found on the internet. One of her latest finds was Carol Hannah's Etsy shop....

The One with Happy Holidays from Chris, Paige, and the Zoo

We've never sent out Christmas cards before but figure since we got a dog this year that's news worthy of sharing and it will make a fun picture. But then we felt bad about only including the dog and excluding the rest of the menagerie. Hence the following photos.This one would have worked, but Chris isn't in it and Li'l Chinchilla is hiding. This one would have worked, but Chandler's head is cut...

The One with Jenny's O's

After the boutique on Saturday, Jenny and her husband Chris (that's a good, solid name :) helped me carry my stuff out of Ashley's apartment, but as we passed Jenny's apartment I peeked inside and stopped dead in my tracks. I had seen her "O" wall on her blog, but pictures don't do it justice. Seeing is believing. Their living room is heaven on earth! They had quite the adventure acquiring those lovely...
