Of all we've done since we started this tradition, I think this is the best!  Nephews, sister, and mom did a wonderful job!  I had fun supervising!

Thank God!

Christmas hasn't been the same this year.  Every year, as the holiday approaches, I wait impatiently for this delicious treat to appear on the shelves.  For some reason, I haven't been able to find them anywhere.  Needless to say, as they're an obsession, I've been extremely upset.  Stephanie to the rescue again!  She found them at Walmart yesterday, and brought me a couple bags.  My holiday spirit was instantly lifted!  Now that I know they still exist, I will be stocking up, as always!  Thank God for Christmas miracles!

As much as I love my nutcrackers, some of them are legitimately creepy up close!

Tragic?

It never occurred to me, until last night when Jill brought it to my attention, but these two guys definitely look like they're trying to commit suicide!  Like they have something to be upset about.  They're only stuffed in a box for eleven months out of the year.  What's their issue?  Seriously, though, it is quite disturbing, and I'll be looking for a new place to hang them next year.

Big News!

Couple of really big news items on the Streisand front today.  First, Partners has been nominated for the Best Traditional Pop Album Grammy Award!  Amazing to see this legendary artist recognized for this great work!  Last, but certainly not least in any way, Partners has just gone platinum in Australia!  Just so awesome!  I knew this album was going to be huge the first time I heard the leaked tracks.  So proud to call myself a fan!

Jill snuck up behind me last night wearing this mask, and scared the shit out of me!  After I recovered, we decided it would be fun to do a little photo shoot.  Creepy, and ridiculous, but fun!

I Can't Believe...

After almost twenty years of wishing and wanting, I finally have Barbra's autograph!  A little over a week ago, Shanon started saying how amazing the Christmas gift she got for me was. She dropped little hints here and there, but I couldn't connect the dots.  Too excited to wait, she brought it last night.  I honestly don't even know how I'm dictating this post, as I haven't picked my jaw off of the floor yet.  See for yourselves!  To thank someone for such an incredible gift seems inadequate, but I'd like to do that one more time.  Thank you, Shanon!  You'll never know what it means to me.

Let It...
