Resolutions
So usually I totally cop out on New Year’s resolutions. I just tell myself, “I’ll resolve to not make resolutions and just love my flaws more this year!” Ha. Good one, right?
Well, maybe this year I should try a little harder. So here are some goals that I am going to work towards in 2011. Some will stick and some might not, but hey, this is the kind of life I...

Advertising: The Worst Industry Ever
Elyse: Yeah, I should have driven with him but I couldn't take any time off
Chip: You people work like slaves
Chip: I don't know why your industry is like that
Elyse: It's because no one has a life because advertising is their life.
Elyse: So everyone is divorced and bitter and hates their home lives so they stay forever at work and then you feel guilty if you leave and go home to your happy home life. Like you should be working instead or something.
Chip: Sounds like a recipe for success.

Confession
Guys, I have a big confession.
I am 100% distracted today. Sure, I’m busy at work. Very busy, actually. Much busier than I thought I’d be the week of Christmas. But I just cannot stop getting stoked for tomorrow night when I get to go home to DC for a few days.
Things we’ll be doing in DC:
Confirming our wedding date/booking our venue
Hanging out with our fabulous friends

Living With a Cat
Elyse: Yeah Puck never pays us rent.
Elyse: He's the worst roommate ever.
Ashley: Yeah, Puck is like that guy who just crashes on your couch and eats all your food
and pisses in your sink.
Elyse: So pretty much my life is like that crappy movie "You, Me and Dupree"
Ashley: Yup. Pretty much.

Revelation
Brad and I have (slowly) been prepping our new home for a January move-in (quick back story: my fiance and I closed on an adorable home in Minneapolis back in late October but have been taking our sweet-ass time moving in). So, we’ve been putting a lot of time, money and effort into the whole process and I’ve been feeling kind of overwhelmed about decorating it. I mean, of course...

Mix Tape Exchange
At the beginning of the season my brilliantly fabulous Creative Director, Tate Nolan, had a stellar idea. This year, instead of doing the typical Secret Santa schtick at work, our team would do a Mix Tape/CD Exchange. Personally, I think this is the best idea anyone has ever had (sorry, Edison). So, today, our team at work all shared the mix CDs we created for one another and had one long jam sesh...
