with Love at Charisma... i mean at CHRISTMAS!

hey there, folks! it's thursday, and it's a LONG week here in the Chateau d'Orange. i am EXHAUSTED! had to go out to buy a pair of shoes tonight as i had NONE i could wear to work tomorrow. shoe shopping for this orange chick is NO easy chore. i should have been a Flintstone! nothing fits properly (not even the UGLY shoes!), and i swear i tried on more than 100 pairs of shoes to try to find ANYTHING. ended up with a pair that i'm sure will not treat my feet well, but i'll suffer for my awesome job. anyway, bit of a tangent there - sorry about that!

unfortunately i have to make this post quick, but we have a brand new challenge for you at Charisma, and i have a feeling it's going to be a BIG ONE!
