I have been so busy the last couple of days. Vacation is over and reality has taken its place. Yuk. I miss carefree mornings with coffee and palm trees. The only good thing about the end of Thanksgiving is the begining of Christmas. Well, my Christmas count down started in August, but for the rest of you the season usually begins now. Being back in the office is kicking my butt and I hardly have time to breathe during the day, much less blog. After 8 days of relaxation, I guess I had it coming. Another thing coming was my outfit today. After 8 days of comfy pants and jeans I needed to fancy it up a little.
Blouse: Thrifted
Sweater: Thrifted
Skirt: Thrifted
Shoes: Target
Today's Useless Trivia:
Perhaps the best known Christmas carol is Silent Night, written in 1818 by an Austrian assistant priest Joseph Mohr. He was told the day before Christmas that the church organ was broken and would not be repaired in time for Christmas Day. Saddened, he sat down to write three stanzas that could be sung by choir to guitar music. "Stille Nacht, Heilige Nacht" was heard for the first time at that Midnight Mass in St. Nicholas Church in Oberndorf, Austria. The congregation listened as the voices of the Fr. Joseph Mohr and the choir director, Franz Xaver Gruber, rang through the church to the accompaniment of Fr. Mohr's guitar. Today, Silent Night, Holy Night is sung in more than 180 languages by millions of people.

The Gulf Coast of Florida is nice this time of year and it is sad to leave there but I'm glad you have arrived home safely. Thank you for all the kind words you have had about my work and the Kreativ Blogger Award you conferred on me. I have been out-of-pocket for a few days and am just now getting back to normal activities. I am new to this blogging thing and have not really figured out what I'm doing and will fullfil the requirements of the honor you bestowed. The thing that attracted me to your blog was the pictures of shoes you posted. I like art that uses articles of clothing or such as surrogates for the figure, much as you stated about the portrait with the figure facing away. Great work and I would like to see more like it. Brad
You look lovely. :)
