Here we go again… (It’s about time. Some of these confessions were self-actualized before Christmas)
- I’m one of those people who loves the fact that Christmas starts earlier every year. I decorated my tree on my birthday (Nov. 7) and I plan to make it a tradition. We usually end up keeping the tree up until spring, so I figured we might as well put it up earlier and enjoy the anticipation of Christmas in the few extra weeks we gain before the holidays. (Update: I made myself take the tree down in January!!! Mostly because I was sick of guarding the ornaments and I was missing out of space in our livingroom for all the new toys Miles got for Christmas, haha)
- I drink 3-5 Seagram’s Sparkling Seltzer water each day. Two years ago it was Red Bull, most of my life it has been Dr. Pepper and I feel justified in clearing the “White Peach” flavored sparkling water from the shelves at Price Chopper every two weeks because it’s not as expensive as Red Bull and has no bad sweeteners. (Update: My dentist told me this is also bad because it’s acidic. Will no vice ever be sacred?!?!?)
- My favorite colors are: Charcoal Gray, Medium gray, gray, gray and GRAY. I get caught buying gray everything and when I add color it’s usually solid and shares it’s space with few or no other colors. I love seeing color elsewhere in the world and marvel at livingrooms full of patterns and colors that somehow GO together. But there is something about white and gray and gray and gray that, when seen together, inspires me. I think being gray on the outside allows me to be more colorful and vibrant on the inside.
This guy says it well- “If I see everything in gray, and in gray all the colors which I experience and which I would like to reproduce, then why should I use any other color? I’ve tried doing so, for it was never my intention to paint only with gray. But in the course of my work I have eliminated one color after another, and what has remained is gray, gray, gray!” — Alberto Giacomettii

- I’ll leave you with this very deep revelation: I prefer the outside of a cinnamon roll to the inside.
