I'm loving these geek-infused letterpress Code Cards by designer Matt Raw. The Egg Nog Arrays set includes designs in four different languages — Python, Ruby, PHP, and Javascript — each spelling out the perfect recipe for egg nog. The Code Cards shop also carries CSS Happy New Years cards as well as ♥ cards: Whichever design draws your fancy, you'll be sure to make a geek very happy this holiday season with these cards!

As much as I love the holidays, I'm the type to get irritated to see Christmas decorations up in public or to hear holiday songs on the radio before the month of December. So it comes as no surprise that I nodded in agreement as I read the following guest post from contributor Terri — Thanksgiving really does seem to get the short end of the stick this time of the year! What do you guys think? Do you gloss over Thanksgiving in favor of the December holidays? Or do you look forward to Thanksgiving with as much enthusiasm and excitement as Terri and I?

Today's post comes from Scottie Ann, whose life as an Army Wife can be viewed at Kelly Stadium. Reading this post resonated with me — having just given birth to a baby, your hormones are everywhere, you are sleep-deprived, and the things you've found enduring about your husband can start to annoy you to no end. But after this? I am reminded once again that we love each other despite, and sometimes BECAUSE, of our faults. And this tough post-partum period? It too, shall pass. :-) Enjoy this post — I sure did! Since Aj deployed, I hate to admit, I have had a lot more TV time then I used to, or really should. Although, I tell myself it's ok since I am...
