It's Christmas Eve!!

I almost forgot to post the awesome stuff I got in a little gift exchange I did. It was organized by Angela of Pickles on Pizza fame. I was so excited when I opened my package from Creative Coquette at Foxy Monster! Some little birdie told her that I LOVE socks, and she sent me these! They are just so soft and so warm....I could live in them.

Then as if the socks weren't enough, she sent me this darling gingerbread girl necklace from her shop. It is so cute. I wore it to work the next day and got tons of compliments on it. Isn't it just the best?

So, here it is Christmas Eve. I am cleaning house this morning and then just chilling out. We normally stop by Irv's nephew's house on Christmas Eve, but we need to see if and when Rebecca's flight gets in. The weather is suppose to be horrific over much of the country today so we are playing it by ear.

Later this evening, we will be popping in some frozen pizzas that Irv will work his magic on and just enjoy each others company. Tomorrow it will be a full house....full of family, food, fun and DOGS!

Enjoy your day and if you are celebrating Christmas today....I hope it is the best ever!

It's Here!!!

The CD I ordered from CutNGlue arrived yesterday! CutNGlue is an etsy shop run by Angela of Pickles on Pizza blog fame!! Angela's husband Aubrey is an independent musician, and he just released an awesome CD titled Make Me Realize. He wrote all of the songs, sings and plays guitar on all of them! I popped it in my CD player the minute I got it and had it playing while I checked e-mail and wrote my blog yesterday. I kept finding myself gently bopping around in my chair. The songs are kind of mellow and the words are wonderful. It's a great CD!

Those of you that read my blog regularly know that I like a wide range of music. My Pandora Quick Mix has everything from Jack Johnson to Jimi Hendrix, from Ben Harper to Bob Marley. You can add Aubrey's music to the list.

If you have a minute, hop on over to Aubrey's MySpace Music Page and take a listen. If you want to order a CD, visit Angela's shop, CutNGlue and purchase one there.

I listened to it a couple more times today and I'm finding myself really loving the title cut, Make Me Realize and also the songs Spinning Around and Heaven or Hell. What I really love about this type of music is that you can hear and understand all of the words. It makes the songs so much more meaningful.

CHEE HOO to musician, Aubrey Holman and a big thank you for sharing your amazing talents with us all!
