It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Have you ever wondered where to find America’s tallest Christmas tree? Well…look no further! Could it be the tree at Rockefeller Center? The White House? No…it’s at an outlet mall in Anthem, Arizona! Who knew, right?

We went to the Christmas tree lighting last weekend to enjoy the festivities. There’s nothing like a 110-foot tall fresh-cut white fir to get you in the Christmas spirit. Take that Rockefeller!

Someday My Prince Will Come

Okay…I admit it…I have royalty fever! I can’t get enough of Will and Kate! I was so excited to hear about their engagement. They are just darling and she will make a most perfect princess. I just love it! Apparently their engagement has conjured up all of these childhood obsessions of mine of princesses, Cinderella, and crown jewels. Who knew?

Unfortunately, I learned  that not everyone shares my love for royalty. Last night I excitedly announced to my husband, “Did you hear that Prince William gave Kate Princess Diana’s 18 karat blue sapphire and diamond engagement ring?”

As I said this, I was thinking things like… 

• Isn’t that adorable?
• He’s so romantic!
• Why don’t we have royalty in America? Remind me again?
• I wish I was a princess!

But my husband said things like…

• If I was a taxpayer in Great Britain I’d be furious!
• Those royalty are such a waste. 
• They should earn their own money.

Not the response I had anticipated. I guess it’s safe to say I will NOT be receiving a sapphire ring for Christmas this year. Oh well. Cheers to Will and Kate!

How to get to Sesame Street

Halloween is a big deal in my department at work. Everyone dresses up and gets in the holiday spirit. I didn't dress up last year, and I felt like a bad sport, so this year I made sure I participated. I got together with my friend Ashley and we decided to revisit a childhood classic…

Sunny day

Sweepin' the clouds away

On my way to where the air is sweet

The costumes ended up being pretty funny, if I do say so myself. We may not be as cute and cuddly as the original Elmo and Big Bird, but we had lots of fun. Our costumes were a big hit with our coworkers. Sadly, we lost the costume contest by only one vote (sad face). I guess we'll just have to try again next year.

Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street...
