Ahhh, Day 7. Day 7 started early to take my kiddos to drop them off with their dad for the holiday (trying not to think about my first Christmas without them), then Marc, Carter, Corrinne and I headed to Mimi's Cafe for an amazing breakfast. If you've never had their breakfast, GO! Their eggs benedict are out of this world. Marc got their eggs florentine benedict (which are amazing with spinach, tomatoes and bacon) and I got their crown jewel, crab cakes benedict (no words can describe them).
We tooled around a bit and ran a couple errands then came home to be lazy. I'm really enjoying our Christmas card collection.
And I'm snugglin' on the couch, enjoying the view.
Of course, we've got to get a pic of the snuggles.
Marc said he looked like a dweeb in that pic so I had to take another one.
He said he still looked like a dweeb, a word I was hoping he'd say again because I'm pretty sure I hadn't heard it since the 8th grade!
THEN, I got some Mommy time. Mommy Love. I found a gift card from LAST Christmas for a spa treatment and made an appointment for a milk and honey pedicure at Spa Lux. Which was a burn to Marc, because he got me a gift certificate for the exact same thing (along with a manicure and a swedish massage) but I assured him it's FINE and that that present with NEVER get old and I WILL use it!!
Here is Spa Lux. P. T. L.
Happy Missy.
Some fur ball attacked me on the gorgeous leather sofa.
And I was served some delightful vanilla caramel tea!
Then I had the most delightful hour in...who knows how long...and I came out with these lovely little piggies!
Next on the agenda was running to Big Lots to get stocking stuffers.
Wahoo! The kids said they wanted Tech Decks for Christmas and Big Lots has them cheap!! Gotta love this place.
^#%$#@^%*!!! They found me. I don't know how but they found me.
AND I've been craving an orange cranberry scone for days, so it was time! That with a Starbucks mocha, again, made a very happy Missy!
Next on the agenda, Target (pronounced tar-jay). Do you think Marc knows I'm having an affair?
Once I got home we headed over to my mom's, Mimi's, for Carter and Corrinne to open their gifts from her. Happy kids!
And Marc and I couldn't wait any longer. We did our Christmas with each other since our whole Christmas day thing is going to be weird anyway. I'm pretty stoked about the gift I got him. An old turntable I found on Craig's List along with Pet Sounds and The Stranger on vinyl. I must say I'm pretty proud; he said it was the BEST present he's ever gotten. *blushing grin*
Yay! He got me an adorable sweater...
And a gorgeous coat from Fossil, which I totally needed and totally would have never bought for myself. That combined with the gift certificate for Spa Lux makes one freaking incredible Christmas. I love you honey!!
The rest of the night was spent listening to Pet Sounds the way it originally was played, along with some white russians, as I have already mentioned...
God only knows what I'd be without you...
