I absolutely love the holidays! Yes, I am a holiday whore. lol. However, I can do without the cold weather. I'm a summer baby. But, the holiday season makes me feel all warm inside, and it is also an extremely busy time for me. There is always a holiday or birthday party to attend and an opportunity to spend time with family and friends.
Every Christmas I say to myself "Self, you will start Christmas shopping early and not wait until Christmas Eve to finish." Unfortunately, mission was not accomplished. Yet again, I waited until the last minute to finish my Christmas shopping. Luckily, the malls weren't as crowded as expected. So, I was in and out in 4 hours. lol.
The real reason why I always get stuck shopping on Christmas Eve is due to my shopping addiction. Initially, I began my Christmas shopping in November. But, I get side tracked by my own selfishness. Hence, I forget the reason for my visit to the mall and start shopping for myself.
My company's holiday party was one of the first parties I attended. It took place at the Sheraton Hotel in Towson, MD. The theme of the night was "Night at the Oscar's." It included red carpet, lights, camera and paparazzi! Cute, Right? The dress etiquette was formal. Women wore long gowns and men in suits. Of course, I have to be different and rebellious. I chose a fitted women's red suit with a bow tie and a 4 inch black pump. The look was Fabulous, if I must say so myself.
I booked a room at the Sheraton.................
Just a pic before the party began! Always camera ready : )

Oh, by the way......I was selected for jury duty during the week of all the festivities! Ugh! I absolutely hate Jury duty. And, I just knew they weren't going to choose me, because they never select me!! WRONG! I was chosen for a 6 day trial as madame Foreman : ( Nevertheless, it was a mini vacation from work!
My best friend in the whole wide world Ryan is one year older this year!! We have been friends since middle school. At times, Ryan and I have a volatile relationship. We both are so honest with one another, that we tend to butt head at times. We break up and make up all the time. She knows anything I say to her is out of love. We can argue one day and not talk for days....but we always seem to forgive and forget. That's true friendship....Love my Doll! Don't know what I would do without her.
She invited a few of the gals to Milan's on Friday to help celebrate her Birthday. We dressed up and were in route to the party, when Ryan called me and advised that Milan's had a water main break and was now closed. : (
So, she moved the party to Mansion. Thia was my 1st time at Mansion. Although, it wasn't crowded, we still had a ball. We make the party wherever we go! Cuz we like to party, Ayeeeee!!
The Birthday Girl! She looks HOT! The shoes were to die for!!
My bestie is such a diva! : )
SHOTS! SHOTS! SHOTS!
