Holiday Haze


This is my reality lately. Working all day, running around like a lunatic all over frigid cold NYC during my lunch and after work for hours every night trying desperately to find the right gifts. My best part of the day is when I finally collapse from exhaustion on my couch and cuddle up to a warm drink.

Thank goodness it's Thursday and the weekend is near. I'm determined to get it all accomplished this weekend.

Hope you're all having a wonderful week! xoxo

Sounds like you are having a whirlwind of a week. I can relate - where does the time go? I can't believe that in less than 10 days Christmas will be here. But busy is good right? :) Hopefully you are able to find some time to relax and enjoy. Always good hearing from you. :)
