we're celebrating by getting out of the city for a night.
tacky Christmas / vintage haul
these paper garlands are as tacky as they come. made in Japan. original price forty nine cents each.
similar, but different tackiness here

morning coffee
flipping through a random magazine at Philz this morning. check out the awesome ottoman. DIY inspiration.
vintage Christmas with a twist.
I wasn't raised with formal religion so the holidays get confusing. my childhood had menorahs and trees but never with religious context.
my dad's family was sorta kinda faux Christian and my mom's family was a mix of things with strong 'we-are-scientists' sensibilities maybe stemming from a loss of Judaism pre/post holocaust.
I've been on a quest to find a lit Star of David Christmas tree topper because the melding of tree and Star of David is the best representation of my holiday spirits. the popsicle stick Star of David that I proudly made for our family's tree when I was in elementary school just doesn't seem sufficient. turns out there isn't a Star of David Christmas tree topper that plugs into Christmas lights. disappointment.
I've made up for it by purchasing ultra tacky holiday decor that makes J's brain hurt. tonight he saw the tree topper and announced, "you owe me."

slowly learning.
December confuses my brain. festive lights encourage cozy time with friends and festive beverages.
to-do lists are longer. days are shorter. 9:30 pm regularly masquerades as 2:30 am.
I've had a really tough time trying to motivate myself to snap back into productive reality.
it seems silly motivational posters have been following me. here are a few that snuck onto Pinterest, Instagram and into my vision.

wet weekend. I found a diamond earring on the wet ground and I'm hoping the rightful owner finds my Craigslist ad and contacts me. no such luck, yet.
