Oh My God I’m Back Again!!

(you can’t read my blog and not love 90s boy bands…you just can’t…)

 

OH MY GOSH IT’S BEEN SO LONG!!!!!!!!!!!  I cannot believe it’s been so long since I have updated.  I’m so sorry, fans and friends.  It’s been a crazy few weeks!!  I have been running around working super crazy hours, driving 600 miles in 36 hours, and baking way more than one should ever bake in a condensed period of time.  Sleep has become a second priority, this blog third.

So what does that mean?  Where does it put us?  Well, for starters, I’ll use this weekend to catch you up on my last alphabet adventure (yes I did complete it, I just didn’t get to blog about it)  Then I will try to get my life in order so that you won’t have to wait two weeks to hear from me again.  I promise, I will try!!! 🙂

I hope you clicked PLAY on the youtube video above.   I don’t post these for my own kicks and giggles (yes I do) I post them so you can set the proper blog-reading ambiance.  You can’t read the blog without setting that first.  So…Nick, Howie, Brian, Keven, and A.J., sing us out boys.  (sidebar: I was definitely an Nsync fan back in the day…but this song was just so fitting, and Nsync doesn’t have one that compares.  Maybe on Friday night I’ll post that it’s Friday night and I ju-ju-ju-ju-just got paid!!!!!!!!)

See you this weekend, I promise!!!!

Next Week: P is for Pamper Party

Ah, it’s the most wonderful time of the year!!  The Christmas spirit has fully descended upon the greater city of Pittsburgh!  I know some people grumble about how much people “over do” Christmas, and I’m sorry if you feel that way, because I LOVE decorating for Christmas.  Absolutely love it!!  I’m one of those people who gets all of my decorations out from the back of my closet, crank the Christmas tunes, and get busy!  If you think to yourself, “I bet no one actually listens to the N*Sync Christmas album anymore from start to finish, you’re totally wrong, because I do!  Several times!!

Before I really get into the Christmas spirit, though, I’m going to take this next week to spend some time relaxing and unwinding.  I work Monday and Tuesday, and have a half day on Wednesday.  Then it’s time to bake 3 dozen cupcakes for an order, and head off to New Jersey for some much needed family time.  But in the midst of all that family time, I’ll be heading off for another Alphabet Adventure.

Next weekend I will be heading out for the ultimate relaxation experience: a spa day with my old college roommate.  Now, before I tell you about all the fun we have planned, let me be honest: I’ve never been a “pamper” kind of person.  I have never set foot inside a nail studio.  I’ve never paid for my nails to be done, or had anything fun like a massage, a make up artist make me up, or my feet pedicured.  You’re lucky I pay $40 for a professional to chop my hair off 😉  I’m just not that sort of person.  My old roommate, though, LOVES that kind of stuff.  And, I’ll be honest, it sounds nice to pay someone to do my nails.  So when she found a killer Living Social deal a few weeks ago, we scooped it up.  For $50 we’ll get manicures, pedicures, and a 45 minutes massage.  Total zen bliss….yes, I might get there!!

This is going to be a true adventure, though, because I’ve never experienced anything like this before.  I guess that’s why I love this blogging adventure: I have definitely stepped outside of my comfort zone, and learned to experience a new side to life.  It’s the time of year where you start to reflect on the past year, the goods the bads, as 2012 comes to a close.  Starting My Alphabet Year has definitely been a highlight of this past year!

Have a wonderful weekend!  Decorate for Christmas for me!!  Bust out the N*Sync album, I know you still have it somewhere!!!
