23

For my birthday, I threw a cupcake tasting party. I ended up getting several variations of cupcakes from The Coffee Shop, Sprinkles, and my homemade ones. It was a hit, plus I always love a good excuse to dress up :)

23 years ago:

People were watching the Cosby show, A Different World, Family Ties and Miami Vice on TV.

The average price of a movie ticket was $3.91.

Sugar Ray Leonard took the middleweight boxing title from Marvin Hagler.

A gallon of gas was 89 cents while a US postal stamp was 24 cents.

Michael Jackson produced the song "Bad"

and my favorite movie of all time Dirty Dancing hit the theaters.

The best way to spread Christmas cheer....

is singing loud for all to hear

Just my luck I found my old nsync Christmas album circa 1998. Needless to say, I am pretty positive I remember all of the words and have been jamming out like a little school girl.

It continues,

Ive been keeping the Christmas spirit going:

with marshmallow milk, making new decorations, wearing my real moccasins from Sedona that keep my toes oh-so warm, and updating my advent calendar that Sky gave me. I love this time of year.

I took this photo only a few days ago and now this tree is bare with yellow leaves scattered across my sidewalk. Just another indication that Christmas is JUST around the corner. I am really hoping to get my shopping completed by the end of this week. Time is traveling too fast for my liking.
