Daily stuff:
Not much to tell from this side of the world. Work is busy and I am looking forward to next week when my holiday starts. I have a vacation planned from Friday afternoon the 21nd till January 3rd.
We decorated the Christmas tree Monday evening and I leave you today with some pics of our decorations.



Workouts:

I did a yogalates workout yesterday, an upper body workout.
Total time: 25 minutes.
I skipped my run this morning. I got up a bit too late and when I looked outside it was raining cats and dogs. I don’t mind running in the dark, I don’t mind running in the rain but the combination of the 2 of them isn’t that attractive to me. Because it was already a bit late the choice not to run was made quickly.
TV shows I watched last week
Mad Men, The Kennedy’s, Private Practice, Once upon a time, Downton Abbey, Game of Thrones.
Movies I’ve seen last week
The Help

Finally watched The Help. I have read the book which I loved and I loved the movie just as much as the book. Great movie.
We decorated our Christmas tree on Sunday and we made the creche too. I Love these Christmas decorations in your living room!
I’ve planned a vacation since December, 19th and we are goingo to Naples where my mother lives. I will be back at work on Friday, 28th: in my office we have to chose between the week of Christmas and the following week on the first day of the year. Unfortunately we can’t chose both weeks.
Regards!
Your tree looks so pretty with the candle lights! And Bella seems to be saying “who needs all these decorations when you have ME to look at?”
I ran in the rain, in the dark – once. You can’t see how deep the puddles are! That was definitely a once-and-done experience…don’t blame you one bit for skipping your run today.
I’m sure you cannot wait for your time off – how nice it will be to relax and enjoy the holiday!
Hey Fran!!!
Love the Christmas decor, your house looks so festive and it looks like Bella may like the decorating
It will be so great for you to have that time off to enjoy the holidays. I get a few days as well but not as long as you, but nonetheless still looking forward to it!
I tried reading and watching the help, I really wanted to like it, I just wasn’t into it for what ever reason, you have reminded me that I should try again!
xoxo
What a pretty tree! I am ashamed to admit I still have to get ours… I am slow this year!
I loved the book The Help, too, but I never saw the movie.
I wanna try YOGALATES!
Your tree looks really nice. I set up my fake tree (allergic to real) but haven’t done any other decorating yet.
I love your tree! So festive. I am loving seeing everyone’s holiday stuff on blogs.
I wish I had a lot of time off. The US needs to be like other countries and give more time off.
Your decorations are beautiful! I hope you enjoy your time off and don’t get too much snow!!
PRETTY tree Fran!!!! And Bella looks perfect amongst the decorations. I agree, the Help was a great book, and a lovely movie. Hope you and R have a great weekend.
