Just Call Us The Griswalds

My Husband, Clark Griswald



And we are not even finished. This picture (iPhone) really doesn't do justice. Justin LOVES Christmas. He decided last year that he was going to go a "bit crazy" with the outdoor decorating since it was our first Christmas in our new home. Each year he wants to add something to the lights. The cross is our "something new" for 2009. Justin made the cross himself and hung it himself. He cracked me up by saying "Christmas is about Christ, not Santa, and we need to display this".

And I do know that it is taboo to decorate before Thanksgiving, but with Justin's schedule & going out of town for Turkey Day, and if we wanted the decorations up before the middle of December, we had to do it now.

More pics to come! Happy Holidays!!!

To Keurig or not to Keurig


I LOVE COFFEE. It's true. I am thinking of buying a Keurig, but am unsure of the high pricetag. I am not sure of its quality. I am also not sure of the other single-cup coffee makers such as Taissamo. Does anyone have suggestions??? My coffee maker at home sucks. And I no longer have my illustrious coffee club at work [as seen on: http://leslieguinn.blogspot.com/2009/08/water-water-everywhere-and-not-drop-to.html]

I can't function in the morning without coffee!!! Help people!
