You Are Hot Chocolate

Your holiday personality is generous. The holidays are your favorite time to practice the art of giving. You enjoy picking out presents, sharing treats, and making everyone’s day a little brighter. And you don’t even notice if you don’t get anything in return.

Your Christmas is Modern

Your wish for the New Year is more happiness. For you, Christmas is a spiritual holiday. You can’t separate it from your beliefs. You are patient when it comes to Christmas. You don’t celebrate too early, and you don’t like seeing holiday decorations in October. You like Christmas traditions, but you’re not uptight about them. You do things your way. You like to celebrate Christmas your own way, and you don’t like to have to compromise. You enjoy Christmas more than anyone you know. Some might call it an obsession! You give a big during the holidays but nowhere near as much as you’d like to.

I’ve been dying to have a Photo Shop Contest where you can nominate bloggers‘ photo-shopped pictures they’ve made for their posts. So I decided to have one over on Tip Junkie.

Submit your nominations under “Other” in the form to be included in the contest. Get your entries in by August 30th. I’ll post them as I receive them and pick my top 6 favorites. Then I’ll put them up for YOU to vote for the top 3 which will each get an amazing prize.

I’m totally giddy I can barely stand it!

You Are Trinity

“Touch me and that hand will never touch anything again.”

What’s so funny about this, is that I totally think i am Trinity. She’s fearless, has great faith, is willing to get her hands dirty, and is devoted to her man! {{giggle}}

I think I’ve mentioned the fact that Drake loves men. Anyone that’s of the male gender – Drake attaches himself to and will comfortably go sit on their lap, follow them around, and admire from afar. If you’re a girl – you’ll get no love from my little guy. (Unless your a tomboy like Lisa, then you’re in.)

So, we were at the pool a couple nights ago and it happened again. Drake found a surrogate daddy. I spent quite a while talking to Keri and David (a.k.a. surrogate) while kindly apologizing for my son’s sudden attachment to David. At one point David got up to get something and Drake wigged out. He didn’t want David to leave! {{geeze}}

Anyway, we ended up having a great time because Keri and David were so engaging and tolerant of our stalking nature. Well, it turns out that Keri is a blogger! Not any blogger but a “tip junkie” as well. She left me the kindest comment saying she googled my name and realized who I was. What a small world!

So I thought I’d be a polite blogger and introduce her to all of you. I hope you’ll welcome her with a kind comment like, “So sorry you were stalked by Drake. Poor guys.” {{giggle}}

A while ago, I mentioned that several members of Jason’s extended family blogged as well. Honestly, it made the reunion so fun and broke the ice immediately. Here is Tera and Amber. I’m really looking forward to keeping up with them via blogger.

I’m still trying to find Danielle’s blog – so girl stop lurking and leave a comment so I can find it. 😉
