Mrs. Claus unabashedly bought herself a present under the auspices of getting one for Mr. Claus: two tickets to the Texas Bowl! Our Baylor Bears [finally] made it to a bowl game, and Yours Truly will be cheering them on live and in person! What an exciting football season it has been for our Bears; they have worked hard and overcome the odds.

Plus, my bff and I have a little contest going between now and the bowl game. We discovered that as of last week, we weighed the same! This is a huge accomplishment for Yours Truly, and it set the stage for some friendly competition. We agreed on a certain number of pounds, and that is our collaborative weightloss goal for the month. While I’m in town for the bowl game, we are going to meet for lunch at our favorite Greek restaurant and share a bottle of Greek wine. Loser has to buy the wine! If we both reach our goal, then we’ll split the wine. Either way, I say it’s a win-win scenario. 🙂
