one reason i love my job...

...TWO WEEKS off for Christmas!

I honestly think that I've slept more than I've been awake since Friday. I seriously might have a condition/suffer from extreme exhaustion. Erk and I have been watching movies, shopping for last-minute gifts, decorating our little place, and lounging in our comfy clothes. We're really thankful to have jobs that treat us so well. Having said that, I think spending 6 1/2 hours a day with anxious six- and seven-year-olds, weeks before Christmas, warrants a long break.

We're going home Tuesday to spend time with my favorite person in the world, Grandpa Granger. I can't wait to see him. We'll also get to see the rest of our families and spend time with our best hometown friends. I'm also totally planning to read the following books over break:

The prequel to The Girl With the Dragon Tatoo. Is it possible to reinstate Book Club? Coop? Bingy? Baby Hendy? Dr. O?



I love David Sedaris...hilarious.



And the classics...rebound. What a dream!



Happy Holidays!! XO

christmas wish list

"Christmas is about Baby Jesus and family and loving each other....but I mean if you want to buy me a gift or two, this should help you out."
(direct quote from the ever insightful kate bing)

this vintage alarm clock would be so perfect in our guest bedroom. found on etsy at sadieolive.



basically anything from old soul, new heart, like these pretties:




a pew for our dining room



pretty ear warmers...because i look terrible in hats



a claw foot bath tub with a ruffled shower curtain



OPI nail polish in "yoga-ta get this blue"



a new pair of flats for school



and if santa happens to stop by our blog...we could really use one of these:
