Happy New Year

Merry, Merry!

A Thank You Note A Day

I absolutely adore this idea -- that you can be thankful for pretty much anything in your life. A daily exercise in gratitude.

Holiday eats and other fun...

The parents visited last weekend and we packed in the fun!


On the list...

Caroling at the Capitol & strolling down Congress Ave.

Ira Glass at the Paramount

Lessons & Carols advent concert at church (twice)

Yummy lunch at an Austin classic, Kerby Lane

Exploring the wonderful Walter Cronkite exhibit at the LBJ Library

Shopping local at the Blue Genie Art Bazaar and not-so-local at Nordstrom Rack (new guilty pleasure!)

Texas-style Dinner at Rudy's BBQ! (Above.)

Awesome.
