I can't believe what a good mood I'm in right now. 'Tis the season!

Had the company holiday party this last weekend. Went the whole 9 yards - had my hair done, wore the really high, very uncomfortable shoes, and the sparkly red top.

So the hair doing - I mentioned earlier that I was going for this look - well, the woman got the top part right, but after all the work that went into straightening the rest of my hair for the smooth look, it would not hold the curl anywhere else. Still, it looked pretty good, and the shirt got enough attention to satisfy anyone's vanity.

And this is a 3-day workweek!! I think that alone, all Christmas and family-visiting aside, would be enough to lift anyone's spirits.
