Secret Santa

Merry Christmas Eve! Despite ruining the coffee this morning and making my brother fix it for me, I'm in a fantastic mood thanks to what day it is. I get to spend the first part of the day with one my oldest and best friends and then I'm going to my older brother's house for food, board games, and lots of time with my 2-year-old nephew. Then later, I'll watch a Christmas movie (most likely Elf) with my parents and inevitably fall asleep during it as I always do. Great day or what?

I'm also excited to debut this lovely dress that I received from the wonderful Erica of Sweets and Hearts as part of Flock Together's Secret Santa exchange. We each picked out a dress for someone and the results are incredible. Make sure to head on over to Flock Together today to see all of the dresses we picked out for each other, we all had so much fun! I love that Erica picked out something in a cut that I adore, but that's still different for me in the color. It's actually making reconsider wearing pink. This dress is just so pretty and crazy soft, Erica did a fantastic job. Part of what I love about Flock Together is that it challenges us to try to new things, which is why I also decided to dress this one up a bit and wear heels for a change.

This is what happens when I set the camera on a self timer too close:

So yes, my computer is still failing me, but I've given up worrying about it. This mostly due to the fact that my parents hinted at the fact that I may or may not be getting my dad's old Macbook with a new battery (in perfect) condition tomorrow, which means I'll have iPhoto and my brother should be able to put Photoshop onto it. Then I'll just have to figure out how to use Photoshop. I'm pretty good with InDesign from working at a newspaper, but I'm clueless when it comes to Photoshop. And with most things tech...

I hope everyone is enjoying their Christmas Eve (or any holiday!) as much as I am!
