Day 87: Party Hopping

"Hop inside my mouth... if you want to live."

-Nigel in Finding Nemo (2003)

Waking up in a state of pure happiness is an excellent way to start any day but, today was particularly wonderful. Not to mention the first Christmas breakfast of the season with the roommates that included french toast with syrup, powdered sugar and watered down strawberries.

Notes from today:

1. Hannah and the Talking Tree may be my new favorite children's book.

2. I much prefer going to the gym during break because of the availability of equipment.

3. Reheated dumplings are still delicious.

4. Christmas trees are better bought.

5. It may only be the 10th, but Christmas music is a constant on Pandora.

6. I have missed my girlfriends so very much.

7. Party hopping is fun when you know more than two people at each party otherwise, you might as well be home knitting and watching 30 Rock.

The outfit that accompanied me out on the town to six different stops included the dress worn in true form with a blue vintage button-up woman's blouse from my Grandmother, black leggings from Target, Christmas socks, Frye boots, black necklace from France and vintage circle earrings.

Sunday will hopefully be just a marvelous with the promise of window shopping at antique stores and iceskating.
