. . . because Toys for Tots is out of this World


With Jess and Manda in the Air & Space Museum, because, as Jess so aptly put it, "Toys for Tots is out of this world."



At the Ravens/Lions game, dressed like a puffy Santa!


Mrs. Hollis w/ Sophie! My friend Amanda's mom thought she would pass along a picture of her in one of her Christmas sweaters. Sophie is a new puppy!


Had a busy weekend this weekend! I got to walk around the Mall, go to Air & Space and grab dinner with the Matzwas & the Ferris on Saturday. The reindeer antlers are not on in the above picture in Air & Space (bells distracting in the museum), but I wore them while walking around outside. They garnered a lot of attention down on the mall. Far more people pointed at me than had been in the past few weeks. The outfit itself was wonderful. The red velvet pants Jess sent were, uh, very loud. I also can't remember the last time I wore pants which zipped up the side. Thanks so much to Jess, Tom, Manda and Jason for walking around with me in that ensemble and introducing me to space ice cream!

On Sunday I went to the Lions/Ravens game in Baltimore. It was a beautiful day for a football game. I personally enjoy football games the most when it doesn't stop raining, ever. Whit and I only spent the first quarter outside. We tried, but it was cold. Regardless, the game was a lot of fun and after the game I got to see a good friend involved in the Ravens organization. Everyone at the game seemed to love the Santa outfit. Most people also seemed to think I was wearing the t-shirt (which says "Believe") to state my belief in the Ravens and their playoff hopes. Which, I mean, sure, fine with me . . . but not the genesis of the shirt.

Got lots of donations this weekend!!!!!
