Happy St. Nicholas Day!

Happy St. Nicholas Day! This was always one of my favorite days of the year when I was a kid. I’d usually wake up to find an orange and a ruby red grapefruit, along with a peppermint stick as big as my tibia sticking out of my winter boots.

Then, many years later, I decided to get married on this day. But that didn’t turn out so well (read: understatement of the century).

So today I decided to do something special, just for me. I spent the day away from my computer and took a drive out of town. Then I hit my favorite Starbucks and grabbed a grande chai with whip (because, hey, I’m worth it). I also did a little shopping (and a little bookstalking) at my favorite B&N. I even bought myself a little something. And I must say, I was an exceptional date (plus, I have great taste in music)!

Now I’m home and binge-watching the holiday episodes of The Great British Baking Show and falling in love with my peaceful life.

And I’m wishing everyone a glorious day that renews your spirit. Because you deserve it
