Sometimes it's the little things that mean the absolute most to you... and they'll catch you totally by surprise.
This past weekend my Besties and I had a Holiday pot luck/ Xmas gift exchange/ Get together because we're awesome Party
We all brought a different dish and gathered (crammed in) around the table to eat and chat and be our adorable insane selves.
We dined on Pork Taters ~ Baked potatoes with all the usual toppings as well as delicious BBQ pulled pork! So if you're looking for something easy and completely mouth watering... Pork Taters are the way to go!
After dinner we passed out all of our gifts to each other and then ripped into them like 4 year olds on a sugar high.
And we all made out like BANDITS!
We all know each other SO well that everything that was given/received was 100% perfect for that person.
I got:
~ A beautiful sterling silver anchor ring
~ The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug Art and Illustration book
~ An amazing set of wall and car decals that fit my Piratey nature
~ Two of the Disney Villains by E.L.F. makeup kits. The nail polish collection (With 3 different colors representing each of the featured villains) and the Maleficent makeup palate.
~ A personalized and hand made "Gollum" candle. Made by my bestie Anna
~ Various Christmas knick nacks and stocking stuffers
And my favorite gift of the evening
~ A beautiful painting of the 'Jolly Roger' Ship from Peter Pan floating across the sky... painted for me by my bestie Diana.
ALL of my presents are beautiful and I love them dearly. It always just blows my mind on how well all of us knows each other.... But the painting... Has SUCH wonderful meaning behind it, that it hits very close to my heart. I can't help but love it just a teeeeeny bit more.
All in all... It was a perfect night.
Good food.
Great friends.
Excellent Party!
Well Hello December... nice of you to sneak right up on me!
I swear I blink and another month has gone by...
Survived Thanksgiving (which was delicious) family and work alike.
It's Christmas that I'm more worried about. All that love, good cheer, and inevitable multiple engagement announcements...
UGH one day at a time I guess :/

I loathe the holidays girl! Shit is so blown out of proportion. The true meaning is so lost.
I'm usually all about the holidays. I love all the decoration and food and family time....
But this year I just can't.
