[ Present accents ]

Yesterday I arrived home from Christmas shopping & could not have been more annoyed with the holiday madness. There are no parking spots, long lines & as I was about to snag the last rolling pin at Ralph’s, someone obliviously grabbed it. Despite the holiday craziness, sometimes I have to remind myself to relax [ more than one cup of coffee & I turn in to a certifiable maniac ]. That’s why I look forward to this particular section of my blog- it provides the perfect perspective. I hope you’re all staying warm & drinking massive amounts of spicy hot chocolate!
