I picked up this Matryoshka doll Nativity in Russia 2 years ago!
Here is my tree!
Seven interesting things about me:
* I am really a brunette (I have SO much grey hair I have to dye it, so I chose red!)
* I am OCD about locking my doors and safety! I have a high tech alarm system on my house and am pretty sure every noise I hear at night is someone breaking in and trying to kill me!!!
* I call my husband like 10 times a day (and my sister about 4 times a day!) I have a talking problem just ask anyone in my family!
* I secretly love watching the show Keeping up with the Kardashians (I know, I know!)
* I have a fondness for all things made in camouflage!
* I give EVERYONE I know a nickname, It's a sign of affection! My kids are: Munkins, Mister Bear, and Vee-Gee Time. I have no idea why, but I really love giving those I love nicknames!
* I LOVE me some Neil Diamond! I think that even though he is Jewish that man makes a mighty fine Christmas album!
Seven most regrettable things I have eaten:
* 2 half pints of Ben and Jerry's Mint Oreo (in one sitting)
* a freezer burnt lean cuisine
* McRib
* A box of half eaten cold chicken nuggets
* a Big Hunk candy bar
* Escargot
* A whole bag of candy corns (just try it and you will understand!)
Seven products I use everyday:
* Bobbi Brown concealer
* Chapstick
* Toothbrush, paste and floss!
* Soap
* Mascara
* Foundation (I get that dreaded pregnancy mask during pregnancy, and it has never gone away!)
* Deodorant (I am a man sweater and once I forgot to put it on... so I immediately hit up the nearest Walgreen's and remedied that situation!)
Seven things I really want for Christmas:
*MacBook Pro (17 inch)
* Laptop carrying case
* new iPhone
* Anthro gift card
* New ironing board (I only use when I sew!)
* New perfume
* A new TV!!!!
The seven people I tag: Jessica, Peggy, Molly, Kathleen, Ashley, Jenni, and Leah.
oh, thanks for the tag! Haha, now I don't have to think about what to write on Monday!
ReplyDeleteI love nativities, too! I think they are so pretty. My boyfriend has a giant plastic outdoors one that he always sets up INSIDE his apartment - it's a little (okay, a lot) ridiculous, but I love it!
Fun list! I too give everyone I love nicknames, and a lot of times I give each one of them several. I think my dog and fiance have about 10 a piece!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tag, now I have to really think, think, think. We have that velvet tree skirt from PB and we use it every yeat. I also have a kid one too. Everything they do for the holidays is spectacular in my opinion. Your tree and house look beautiful. I love the fact that you collect navities. We collect ornaments from everywhere we've been. Great tradition to pass down to our kids. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteYour decorations are beautiful! My grandmother collected nativities too. It was fun reading your lists. I never would have guessed that you aren't a natural red-head!
ReplyDeleteYour home looks beautiful - I love seeing your nativities! And your lists were so much fun to read, I'm the same about fearing home intruders when I hear a noise, and no big shocker, but I love to talk too...I should give you my number ;)
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking I wanted to do a survey and I see you tagged me - so fun! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing your nativities... how neat that you are able to travel and have a unique collection from your travels. I love to see how other people decorate, so this post was so fun for me!!
I thought you were a natual red-head. You seem to have that spunk. (and that is not a negative thing)
Your tree is beautiful! Brunette? Who would have known? LOL
ReplyDeleteLove al the holiday decor!!! Your tree is so pretty! We still have our little barely 6 footer we bought when we were in dental school...once residency is over and we get to our next station I'll get a new one...new tree for a new chapter of life! =) How fun to real all your lists...thanks for the tag! I am also super paranoid about my house being secure and about hearing noises...it's freaky! I turn my house alarm every night...makes me feel better! =)
ReplyDeleteI love the details on those stackable dolls!
ReplyDeleteThank you for all your blog support :)
Just Better Together
I also think that every noise is someone trying to get me....I lock doors so much that my husband gets locked out even if he goes out for the mail...great post..!!! I love anthro...!!! Dawn

Oohhhhhh ... I can't believe you listed the McRib as one of the most regrettable things you've eaten! Don't you know it is back right now, but only until Dec. 5!!!!
ReplyDeleteLisa I hate that darn sandwich!!! My brother is the BIGGEST fan and is constantly teasing me about it!!
ReplyDeletethanks for playing!!
ReplyDeleteI am the same way with locking things- imagine my surprise when I discovered my car door locks weren't locking with the key pad lock, I have no idea how long my car was "beeping" lock without actually locking! But, nobody got inside or took anything to my knowledge. Reason #2001 that I don't drive a super nice car in nyc!
Your hair color is so pretty, do you do it yourself? or go to a salon?
How fun, I am suprised that you aren't a natural red head!
ReplyDeleteI am a man sweater too....what a fun thing to have in common
Awesome collection!!
ReplyDeleteI am OCD about safety stuff too, I check to make sure everything is locked at night about five times.
I love your Russian doll nativity set!
ReplyDeleteAnd there's nothing wrong with spending a little time with the Kardashians ;-)
I think you look great as a redhead, and I can't imagine you as a brunette!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing all these fun tidbits about yourself. I'm usually a bit lackadaisical about safety, but my BF is paranoid, so I guess that as a couple, we're reasonable : )
Love this display shelf in all it's Christmas splendor. BTW, my parents have the same nativity scene that is in the first fully-rectangular horizontal "cubby" (sorry, vocabulary is limited right now). I think it's from either Lladro or Nao? It was their first Christmas gift to themselves as a married couple!
I also enjoy the Kardashians, it's a wee bit of morbid fascination. I'm not sure how they get classed as celebrities, but they fascinate me all the same. I'm going grey so quickly and know that eventually i need to decided between 'letting it all hang out' or changing colour - I think I'll try red as I really can't imagine doing blonde ... and it looks stunning on you.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas :-)
Your holiday decor is so lovely! I also liked getting to know you better through your answers here.
