It's OK Thursday!


Its Ok Thursdays

I've been a blog slacker this week.. mostly b/c I've come over here and been like "Hmm.. I don't know what to talk about today...." Maybe I'm holiday brain dead? Possibly. I'm also possibly on sugar overload...and totally okay with that. 

But, I'm SURE I've got some "It's OK's" I can talk about today, so let's see what kinds of things fall out of my sugar-high brain and onto the page, eh? :)

It's OK... 

To think you're done with Christmas shopping only to realize you forgot this or that or had a sudden burst of a GREAT idea for "that one thing" last minute.

To want to wear everything sparkly, shimmery, festive, etc. in your closet this week. 

To LOVE Christmas, but also sometimes entertain the daydream of spending the holidays (with family..duh) on a tropical island while sipping a cocktail. Palm trees can have Christmas ornaments on them, right? 

To be really bad at wrapping presents and attempt to dress them up with pretty bows, ornaments, etc, so no one notices the haphazard tape in awkward places. 

To NOT buy a dress for New Years Eve this year! I have dresses. Saving money = winning. :) 

To be overwhelmed by thoughtful friends and well-wishes around the holidays... from sweet cards to holiday treats to little thoughtful surprises... So blessed. Next year, I WILL send Christmas cards. Maybe. Hopefully. 

To get a little excited about all the "best images of 2011" and "most memorable moments of 2011" segments on tv. I dig that stuff! 

To have plans to take a half day off with two girl friends tomorrow and drink mimosas, eat, and be merry...all afternoon

To never get tired of "All I Want for Christmas is You" by Mariah Carey. Never. Ever. And possibly beat your steering wheel like a drum every.single.time. to the "buh-bum-bah-bum-bah-bum" that kicks off the "I don't want a lot for Christmas..." part. I'm such a good singer in my car. *sarcasm* 

Hope everyone is having a great pre-Christmas week!

Haha, I do the same with All I Want For Christmas!! How can you not? I should take your winning advice of NOT buying a dress for New Years...but I can't help myself! Hope you have a great day tomorrow and a wonderful Christmas!
