To all my adoring fans.... (I know there's only 2 of you, but I can pretend can't I?!?)...I apologize for my absence. I've been uninspired to write and actually was hit with a small bout of depression. Found out why.... P M S! (DUH!)

Anyway, this morning at 5 am-ish, Ben and I opened Christmas presents. We decided that would be the best thing since tomorrow we're leaving to drive down to Trenton, Florida to visit his family and we didn't want to try to haul our presents down along with all the presents for his family.

I bought him:

1) Nautica cologne (yummy!)

2) The Police Remastered on CD

3) Bob Seger's Nine Tonight CD Live From Detroit and Boston

4) A beautiful sterling silver chain

5) A pack of 3 golf balls with the Florida Gators Logo on them

Ben bought me:

1) a gorgeous orange, ribbed turtleneck (snug-fit) from Express

2) a pair of Ralph Lauren Polo Jeans

3) Body Splash from Bath&Body Works

4) a mini statue (sp?) for my "desk" area (you'd have to see it to understand)

5) An Ally McBeal CD ...Vonda Shepard singing

6) Nothing Else Matters CD Maxi-Single (with remixes) by Madonna

7) Clinique conditioner and liquid lipstick in TeddyBear (my fav!)

8) a lip palette with 9 colours from Bath&Body Works
