You may not have noticed yet, but I am an awards show junkie. I love them. Look forward to them every year. And cannot get enough. The Oscars are my Super Bowl–without a doubt–but to really appreciate the Super Bowl you’ve got to watch the playoff games. That’s where the Golden Globes and last night’s
So Long Christmas
Well, it’s official–I finally got around to taking down our Christmas decorations. How sad to see our beautiful tree stripped of all it’s glitz and glory. Oh, how the mighty have fallen!
