It's true you know...the past couple days, I've just thrown in a (peeled) mandarin orange. SO GOOD! Sweet, but delicious (if you're into that sort of thing...). Yesterday though, I must've filled the container a little full and it leaked over onto my fav green Lulu hoodie.
Horrible, right? :< I washed it last night after workand I looked at it this morning (praying that it would magically be gone) and though it was definitely faded, it wasn't completely gone. (Sorry, I forgot to take a picture if you were interested). I used regular detergent and oxi-clean. Though I didn't scrub it at all (which is probably what my mother would suggest...). Any tips?? D: Curse you delicious mandariny (yup) smoothie. So I need to get some dang wrapping paper so I can get on wrapping gifts! Which leads us nicely into this actually...
Well hey there December 12th! What's that? Do I prefer wrapping paper or gift bags?? Come now. WRAPPING PAPER! I think a lot of us prefer to rip open something. Though sometimes, without putting something in a box, there are a few things that are very very difficult to wrap. Especially kids toys these days...they have insane corners and shapes. Do they enjoy making it obscenely difficult for the world?? Though I will most definitely admit, I have used gift bags...they're very convenient at times. Another reason I prefer wrapping paper is then I don't feel like I need to reuse it. I don't know if this happens to everyone or if it's just my mother ingrained in my brain. But if I get a gift bag from someone and it's in good condition, I'm going to reuse it. Is that so horrible?? Do you do it? (Though my mom also tried to save wrapping paper...so at least I don't go quite that far...). Do you prefer wrapping paper or gift bags? And do you ever save them??
Buh bye for meow :)! PS. 12 days of Christmas (Trudy style) starts tomorrow! PPS. Did you see I'm doing a giveaway?? Get over there and enter to win something! I should likely start putting up Christmas songs everyday now... (nice view, hey?)
TGIF! We've made it. Do you have plans for the weekend?? After work, I'll probably head to the mall for an hour or two to try and round up a couple more gifty's. Though I don't entirely know what I'm looking for...oh well. I have a love/hate relationship with gifts. On the receiving end... sure, it can be fun to get them sometimes. But I don't like it when someone feels the need to force themselves to find something...ANYTHING for me. If you think I'll enjoy something, I appreciate even just that you thought of me! On the giving end... kind of the same thing but switched around. Sometimes you find the PERFECT thing, and you just HAVE to get it for them. But I hate trying to search out what they could possibly want (because everyone seems to buy what they need and usually what they want{I know I usually do...}). IT'S HARD! D: And I think that's why gift cards come into play quite a bit. They're generally the "easy way out" I suppose...but sometimes it's just the best option! Why guess what someone would want and leave them feeling disappointed , when you can just give them the gift of letting them PICK what they want. (But then, they do know EXACTLY how much you spent on them, and they don't really get anything exciting to open up). I don't know. What do you think about giving/receiving gifts? I'm curious! What about gift cards?? Do share :D So, last night when I first got home, I decided I wanted to vacuum and clean the house quick. Now guys, George does NOT like loud noises (he's a bit of a 'fraidy cat)... he hides when I make my smoothie in the morning, and he also hates the vacuum. When I was finally done, I checked for George (I knew where he was)...
From afar, he looked all nice and cozied! But up close... he looks troubled, like he's seen many horrible, horrible things. He got over it...after about 5 minutes of not hearing the vacuum, he finally headed out to get some food. Trauma makes him hungry.
I also got to open door #6, and I was right!
Sweet, little, delicious egg! And tonight (after hitting the crazy mall)...
I have a strong feeling, I'll be getting another sweet, little egg... YAY :D Enough of that...
So today we're at the 7th...so I get to discuss my most memorable Christmas. Hmm... I actually don't think I have one that's significantly more memorable than the rest. I love Christmas, I've loved them all thus far. I remember them being quite a bit more eventful when I was younger and pretty well EVERYONE was home for Christmas at the farm. If not everyone, it was at least 8 or 9. Those were some fun times :D Do you have one Christmas that stands out to you above the rest?? Enjoy your Friday! Bye for meow :)! PS. My smoothie looks a little less green today ;)
I forgot to put this up yesterday! It was a sweet little Kinder bar (same as the first day). I know you need to see this everyday. I'm just here to provide for you. ;)
And tonight I'll be opening this little guy! I foresee it being a little egg as that's all that would fit behind that door.
So here we are at Thursday...which means it's getting close to Friday (and the weekend and hopefully getting a bit better sleep in). Though a few things also need to get done, Christmas gift type things mainly... How far are you on your Christmas shopping?? I don't know how to gauge how much I've gotten done. Maybe 50%? 60% perhaps? I don't know. All I know is I'm not done.
So look at my smoothie this morning. I always put spinach in my smoothie, but this one is legitimately a "green smoothie". What's in it? Well, spinach (quite a bit), about half a cucumber, a slice of lime and the juice from one half, an apple (without seeds..though they'd probably just grind right in as well), some frozen grapes, some plain greek yogurt, and some almond milk. Taste? Hmm... it mainly tastes like lime and cucumbers with a hint of sweetness. (Good thing I like cucumbers). Not bad, but not that great. (Ok, it's pretty bad...) What did I learn? Little less spinach, less cucumber, little less lime and a little more fruit. I prefer my smoothie a little sweeter. But it was alright, I mean...it was my first time. (PS, I do have a Vitamix which can handle blending all these crazy things up). Love you Vitamix! This morning, I quickly made the bed and turned on the light...
A sweet little George! He wasn't ready to get up yet either... Jeez, he's getting big. But still cute. I mean look at the 'little' guy... lately one of his favorite "toys" is one of those fake candles.
How he got it under a bag is beyond me...and why does he like it under a bag anyways?? It wasn't just coincidence either, he kept doing it!
You're a weirdo. But an adorable weirdo... Now stop trying to get in the fridge.
And on to more Christmasy things!
So today is the 6th, where I'm supposed to talk about my favorite tree ornament. I don't know if you've been following the blog at all...but I, sadly, don't have a tree. But if you go here, you'll see that my friend Nani has a pretty awesome tree ;). My favorite ornament there, would definitely be the construction paper star OR the candy necklace! However, if we look back in my past (when I used to live on the farm)...we used to have 2 Christmas trees. One was upstairs that everyone would see...the perfect one with red bows, white lights and gold balls - it was beautiful. But my favorite tree was always the one in the basement...with its multi colored lights, random little ornaments such as stuffed animals and such, candy canes, popcorn - much more exciting ;).
And if we're talking 'in general' here...I love lights, tinsel, cool ornaments, candy canes - I love it all! Do you have a favorite tree ornament??In general? Or something on your tree right now? That's it, that's all! Ta ta for meow :)!
Lately, Scott and my routine has been to make a smoothie - EVERY morning. I love them :D We keep talking about getting some variety...but we make the same smoothie every day. Don't get me wrong, it's delicious! But it would be nice to switch things up. Ingredients we use... - banana - yogurt - spinach - milk - little bit of water - a little juice if we have any - frozen mixed berries - And Scott generally puts a little bit of ice cream in when he makes it :D This makes for a delish smoothie, but sometimes it's nice to have something tropical and so on. But we don't really have room in our little freezer for a bunch of fruits! Do you have a solution? Or do you have any delicious smoothie recipes/ideas?? Byeas for meow :)!
