Good-bye 2009!

No matter what kind of year you've had, there's something to be said for jazzin' it up for New Year's Eve.

Even if the old year isn't deserving of a fond farewell, the new one should be welcomed with a proper amount of glitz, glam and glitter, don't you think?

So here's to a bounty of friends and fortune, adventures and successes, good lessons and great learning and a whole lot of fun in 2010. Because, really, we all deserve it dammit.

Happy New Year to you luvies. See you in 2010. Hang on for it. I have this feeling it's going to be a great year!

Puppy Love

I tend to leave the gift guides to those who do it oh so well (this is my current favorite) but when I spotted Best in Park I couldn't resist sharing.

A proud puppy would look so great with a well-heeled leash.

Happy {Get Ready} Weekend

Did you notice it's nearly the middle of December already? Are your trees trimmed and your lights up? Are all of your presents bought and wrapped neatly under the tree? I didn't think so.
