I'm Not Oprah...But These Are a Few of My Favorites Things in December


Sydney's Favorite Things: In December


1. Twilight














As embarrassed as I am to admit this, I too was "sucked" into this teenage thriller about Vampires! It completely "devoured" me and "eclipsed" my entire regular life! (Like my oh so subtle Twilight vocab) Stephenie Meyer is an amazing writer who keeps you on the edge of your seat, staying up late at night saying "just one more chapter," and running out to the bookstore in a frantic panic hoping the store has the next book in the series! I would highly recommend getting "bitten" by this amazing series!!



2. Getting Tipsy with my Girls






























































Although large amounts of wine were involved in this night, getting Tipsy refers to a nail salon in Boca Raton, FL where we enjoyed a little girls night out. The salon is ultra sheek and modern. They have a full bar where you can sip anything from beer to champagne. Each of us brought in some finger food to munch on as we were pampered with manicures, pedicures and sipped some wine! What could be better?? No seriously..what could be better!



3. Being offered my new job at the JCC











4. Steve Getting his Green Card approved!















After 4 long years of dealing with immigration and Visas we are proud to announce that Steve was finally approved for his GREEN CARD!!! What does this mean for us? No more annoying Visas, no more sweating bullets as we drive through customs at the border and no more red tape!! His Green Card was approved for 2 years and after that we re-apply for his 10 year Green Card. Hopefully, by then he will be very close to taking his Citizenship test to become a...dreaded American!!! Congrats babe!! I'm so proud of you!





5. Big Love





















Trust me, I know what your thinking! A series about Polygamy produced by HBO, just another way HBO can get away with showing men having sex with tons of women. But, if you haven't had the chance to watch an episode you're really missing out! Comcast Cable had season 1 & 2 free on the On Demand channel and I must admit that if Steve hadn't left a full month before I did, I probably would have never watched a single episode either. But he did and so I did...and it is amazing! Only HBO, the king of great televison, has done it again!
