get your groupon...

so, I just heard about groupon at work today. Not sure if I'm just coming in late in the game or what, but this is such a fun idea. You go to the site here, pick your city and each day there is a featured deal. May be dance lessons, spa treatments, restaurant discounts, concerts, plays, etc... you only get the deal if enough people sign up for the day ie... good the the business because more people find out about them and good for us because we get good deals on goodies... anyways, check it out for yourself, i think you'll like it too.

Fanfarlo and Holiday joy...

i have the worse christmas decor envy right now. These pictures are from Katie (Katiedid) and her husband's adorable Brooklyn apartment. Such a beautiful simple idea, I'm going to steal it for next year shamelessly. I want to live at their house... seriously... be sure to also follow her link to see their decorations from last year, its actually inspiring me to tie branches to our walls and just leave them there forever.





I have been struggling to muster up some Christmas spirit this year because i'm working on Christmas day and all weekend. the joys of being the new kid at the office i guess. anyways, even though its been colder than usual for texas in december and we even had snow... i have not been feeling very festive, joyful or really excited about the big day. but I have found a few things so far this holiday season that are helping me to kick the "bah humbugs"...

1. New baby niece Reese... with middle name Anne... so of course i'm in love already...



2. Fanfarlo-not a holiday album, but lovely non the less
3. The occasional peppermint mocha
4. Being able to wear my new boots from Rome almost daily
5. Wrapping paper from mari-mi

Short update for now, hoping to get back into the swing of the blog for the new year... hopefully lots of change in store for the Booths in 2010... Happy Holidays! AB
