How was your week? For me, it whipped by too quickly with not enough accomplished. Hot off the heels of my Cookie Swap hosting, I feel like I’ve just been Mad Maxxing it across Los Angeles in search of a rib roast that costs less than $20 per pound for Christmas dinner. So far, no luck! No luck even finding one that DOES cost over $20 per pound. But I’m watching “A Flintstone Christmas Carol” right now to calm down. Truth be told, even though rib roast is our traditional family meal, my family also says they don’t care if we have that this year. In fact, one member of our family seems like they might prefer to have something else entirely. LIKE WHAT, THOUGH, I ASK!!!
I am also deeply inhaling the vapors from some acceptably scented holiday candles. They’re not great, just ok. Did I ever tell the GAP Christmas candle story on the podcast? I can never remember. It had to do with when I worked at “Rosie” and there was a Secret Santa gift exchange that played into it, then a moment where I was jealously hoarding the tail end of my coveted last GAP candle in private? Let me know if any of this sounds familiar or not. If not, I’ll tell it on the podcast. But if I already told it, then you already know it, LOL!
Anyway, lots has been going on with me & Busy this week.
Here’s this week’s podcast, with guest Lake Bell, if you haven’t gotten to listen to it yet! Please download it if you can. I know you must be sick of us asking, but I swear I wouldn’t if it didn’t matter.
On the podcast, we finally were able to discuss that job that we worked on together. It was a little Holiday special on QVC+. We had such a ball working with the team from QVC. And my old friend, Seth Rudetsky, who is the sparkliest person on Broadway, IMHO, came to accompany Biz as she sang a funny song with lyrics by moi! Plus, we even got to meet some podcast friends on the streets of NYC. And we made waffles & did a tiny fashion show? Dream gig!!! If you haven’t seen it yet, you can watch it here, now!
ALSO on the podcast, Biz & I revealed that we are embarking on a mini-tour & the dates are coming up extremely fast! February 3, 9 & 11. If you live in or around San Francisco, Boston or Newark, we hope you will consider coming out to see us! You can purchase tickets here! The better this goes, the better the chance that we will be invited to visit some other cities in the future, so cross your fingers for us, help spread the word or cast a spell if you are so inclined.
Busy made a Mushroom Menorah and it’s SO GREAT! Look at it! This totally makes up for never getting her hands on spray foam to make the bottle brush spray foam wreath craft I sent her.
Ok, I think that brings us mostly up to date on everything. I’d love to hear from you. What are you eating for Hanukah, or Christmas or Kwanzaa? Are you baking? Do you want the recipe for the cookies I made for my cookie swap that are normally very good, but that I overbaked this time because I was trying to simultaneously clean?
Are any of you looking forward to the holidays? Are you dreading it? What are you planning? What would be your ultimate fantasy dream scenario? Does anyone have plans for New Year’s Eve? Why do I never have plans for New Year’s Eve? Should I plan a Zoom cocktail hour with available Besties sometime in the week between Christmas & New Year? Would that be fun? LMK! Ok, I probably asked too many questions but I hope you leave a million comments. LOVE YOU!!!
Struggling a bit this year with holidays. Lost my best friend in July unexpectedly. Chuck and I had a healthy Christmas decorating contest every year. Last spring I bought a new tree and decor to update things to go with our renovation. Man he was jealous. :) I was going to take the win this year. He never got to see any of it and I miss him so much I can hardly breath some times. No one understands how important he was to me. So I just needed to put that out to the universe and hope he feels how much I love him. Wish all of you in this community the happiest of holidays. Hug the ones you love. 😘
Wild week! I bought S.F. Tickets! AND monumentally- I, like Busy’s great grandfather, am an Episcopal priest (ungovernable temper of course) was called to be the 1st female Rector of the church I served right of divinity school!!! They voted for this tattooed out spoken priest to lead and have tenure! So no slowing down or roasts, just offering Jesus and messages of hope!
