Good Morning Darlings!
The lovely people at Deep South Magazine have allowed me to write a holiday etiquette column for them.
Do you need a few tips? Maybe a little giggle?

Good Morning Darlings!
The lovely people at Ross Dress For Less recently sent me a $25 gift certificate and let me have at it.
And so I did.
What did I get?

Where did we go this year?

Good Morning Darlings!
Decorate the tree…check. Buy presents…check. Watch little Ralphie beg for a Red Ryder BB gun in A Christmas Story…check! Once you have taken care of everyone else for the holiday season, treat yourself to a classic film and some festive cocktails. Paying homage to this film are some tasty libations that will be perfect for that lazy snowy afternoon in front of the TV. And in case you didn’t know, TBS will be playing the movie continually from Christmas Eve to Christmas Day.
Fragile! It must be Italian!

Good Morning Darlings!
Now that I have dished almost all the behind-the-scenes gossip about our holiday party, I am ready to dish a bit more.
Some tidbits inside…and then party pictures!

Good Morning Darlings!
These ramblings about the other side of the party are about as candid as you will ever see me get here. I am laying it all out for you. And sometimes, it ain’t pretty.
What else could possibly happen?

Good Morning Darlings!
Saturday night was our annual Black Tie Soiree and we are still recuperating.
Eric and I took special pains to ensure that everything was in working order, but you can’t help when things sometimes go awry.
