A Letter To the End of a Decade

becky | December 28, 2009

Dear 2009, Hi sweetie.  I’ll make this short since I know you are on your death bed.  And for that I’m truly so sorry.  When you were just a twinkle in Father Time’s Eye I declared you “My Year” and whoa, you didn’t disappoint.   I knew we would be close friends but I never expected you [...]

The Cart That Saved Christmas

becky | December 21, 2009

Last Thursday night found my mother and I at the Olive Garden getting a carbo load for our last minute Christmas shopping.

Because if it’s [...]

‘Twas The Night Before A Snow Storm

becky | December 8, 2009

I’m goin’ Green here at Princess Mikkimoto and recycling a blog post I wrote last year.  Not only because we are in the midst of a blizzard here in Wisconsin, but mostly because writing this last December made my head explode.  I lost all creativity until Valentine’s day.  And I firmly believe, something that makes one’s [...]

diary entry: a new crush

becky | December 6, 2009

Dear Diary, I have a new crush.  This morning I was introduced to the coolest, hippest, funniest person ever.  No, silly Diary, I wasn’t looking in the mirror.  And don’t worry Diary, I’m still very much in love with my boyfriend and still 99% heterosexual.  You see this is a Platonic Girl Crush.  I haven’t had [...]
