Orisinal Games

  http://www.ferryhalim.com/orisinal/

I’ve had this fantastical site saved in my favorites for years. Cutest little computer games I have ever seen! It’s like something out of whimsical childrens’ books. Make sure your volume is turned up for all the adorable music and sound effects.

Happy Holidays

 happyholidays

Have yourself a very sexy holiday! Victoria’s Secret has cute holiday cards. Well, my Christmas consisted of yummy food, money, clothes & accessories, fave magazine subscriptions and Chanel No 5 perfume from the boyfriend. His family is in town from DC, so we’re Atlanta bound this year rather than flying up, up and away. Vegas was an option for New Year’s, but now it’s a no-go. Low key, it is. Time to shop post holiday sales!

Hush, Little Baby

So many young people are having babies nowadays. It seems like everyone around me is expecting. Including a good friend of mine! Which gets me thinking about baby names and whatnot. Just because I don’t want to have children doesn’t mean I don’t find it fun to think about. I’ve decided that my hypothetical baby names are…
Girl: Cecelia (favorite), Cordelia, Chloe, Phoebe, Sydney
Boy: Embry (favorite), Parker, Carter, Landon, Aiden


Also, I’ve done a little e-window shopping and found some cute baby goodies:

‘Tis the season to be jolly.

champagne

I’ve always looked forward to good eating around the holidays. I don’t get home cooked meals on a daily basis anymore, so I usually just have fast food or something to pop in the microwave. (I have several cookbooks I should put to good use.) My favorite holiday foods are ham & stuffing. If I could, I’d probably have them everyday. As for desserts, chocolate cake is my staple sweet. Warm cinnamon apple pie would come in second. And I love champagne. Preferably Asti. Another yummy treat would be to keep Christmas M&M’s out in a crystal candy dish.

The Little Prince

 TheLittlePrince

By now, we should all be aware of Antoine de Saint-Exupery’s The Little Prince. A charming novella about a French aviator and, of course, a young prince. Not only can you read this whimsical adventure, but you can wear it! The cologne & perfume may be intended for children, but who can resist?

Christmas Favorites

Nutcracker

Ever since I was a little girl, I have always loved The Nutcracker. It’s the one thing I instantly associate with Christmas. To me, it’s even more wonderful because ballet has always been a passion. I, myself, was a ballerina for about 8 years. I miss it. But at least I can live vicariously through little Clara. The last time I saw the ballet live was two Christmases ago at Atlanta’s fabulous Fox Theater. I couldn’t manage to go backstage, like I would as a child, but the boyfriend snuck out during an intermission and got me autographed ballet slippers (just as he did when we saw the Romeo & Juliet ballet)!

NutcrackerATL

My all time favorite movie version is Sanrio’s 1979 Nutcracker Fantasy.

NutcrackerFantasy

Another one that completes the season is Charlie Brown. Halloween, Thanksgiving & Christmas. He’s an endless classic.

Can’t forget Rudolph & Frosty!
