SO! It was back to the mall with me for about an hour last night. I really don't mind going to the mall during Christmas. Sure, it's absolutely insanely busy on the weekend (which is why I didn't go on Friday) BUT I don't know, it's just all bustling and festive and decorated. I like it!
I believe that I'm FINALLY done my Christmas shopping (hopefully), but you never know ;)
The past few nights, I've been waking up at about 2:30 ish and have been having a heck of a time getting back to sleep, THEN when my alarm finally goes off at 5...I feel DEAD to the world. I don't know what to do...but I hope this annoying little habit stops on the ASAP.
So, you may or may not know...but Scott has been gone for 3 weeks. Tonight, he's able to come back for about 24 hours then he goes back out until he's off for Christmas, on the 21st.
I don't know about you...but I'm DEFINITELY ready for some holidays...
How about you??
Want to see something lame??
Do you understand what's going on there? The KINDER EGG ITSELF is behind that door. On the 13th???!
NO! Gah...I had to skip the 13th for now. I don't know if it's just me...but that Kinder Egg is being saved for the final Kinder feast. 'Nuff said. :P
So, I still need wrapping paper and a bunch of ingredients to get some baking going! Hopefully that happens this weekend.
But the Christmas blogging must go on!
December 14th...11 days til Christmas! Real or artificial tree you ask??
Well...growing up, I think I only saw one or perhaps two real trees in our house.We had at least a couple (probably more) artificial trees stored in our basement. And correct me if I'm wrong family... but I believe almost all of my siblings get artificial trees? One sibling that I KNOW gets a REAL tree every year is the Strathmore bunch. (Remember how I talked about their Obese tree??...I'm so sad I forgot to get a picture!)
{PS, my graham cracker house is still decorating my kitchen...it remains uneaten thus far!}
I know lots of people love going out to get real trees...and I'm sure that's a very fun and festive experience! Real trees also usually look great (or obese apparently...), and lots of people love the piney tree scent.
I, however, don't really care. Haha. I just love the look of a decorated tree - period! And I'm not a huge piney scent fan... so that doesn't really make me want a real tree. PLUS, real trees make a mess! (Also, who knows what critters you're bringing into your home in that tree bundle D: ).
So by the sounds of it, I think for me personally, I prefer an artificial tree ;)
How about you?? Real or artificial??
Almost forgot about the 12 days of Christmas!
On the second day of Christmas a Trudy gave to you, 2 pairs of sweatpants and a fuzzy kitten named Georgey.
Now here's my explanation. I don't know about you...but when I'm hibernating at home for part of the holidays, I do NOT leave my pj's/sweatpants. My favorites are usually Lululemon...but I also have a really big, cozy pair I love! (I'm giving 2 pairs so you can cycle through... wash one pair while wearing the other). ;)
You're welcome.
You understand what I'm saying? ;)
TGIF!
Ciao for meow :)!
PS. If you haven't yet... don't forget to check out that giveaway! The chances are still VERY HIGH for winning SOMETHING!
So the Christmas song I chose for today took me a while to find. I had no idea what it was called, and I ABSOLUTELY did NOT know it was Brittney Spears. It's a catchy song though, so far, I was making up my own words because I didn't really know what they were. (Thus why it took me so long to find...). ;)
What do you think of it??
Monday. We meet again.
I had a pretty alright weekend. How was yours??
So as you know, Saturday night, I headed out to Strathmore. Why?
Do you remember this from last year??
The Derek Zoolander Center for Kids Who Can't Read Good (and who wanna learn to do other stuff good too)!
So my family out there, has a tradition to make "gingerbread houses", or rather graham cracker houses decorated with a BUNCH OF CANDY!
Let me tell you, I walked into their house and it was definitely a little more Christmasy than mine ;) You should've seen their tree...(I forgot to take a picture :<)...it was huge! Not so much tall...but it was a really really fat tree. Obese they called it. Nice...but fat. (There, there tree...you'll be thrown out in about a month anyways :D!)
They had more decorations throughout the house and even had Christmas movies playing!
This year for my graham cracker house, I went a little more traditional.
Looks more like a candy house witches use to lure little children :D
But let me tell you, I had to keep rebuilding it about 3 times because the roof was so heavy. Too many smarties and skittles I guess...
Anyways, it was a good time... thanks guys :D
Hopefully George spends a little less time under the couch when we come next ;)
OH! And I saw this on the way to their house as well...
:D
Awesome.
Do/have you made "gingerbread houses" of any sorts??
I'm pretty sure I've never made an ACTUAL gingerbread house...which is fine though.
Moving on...
December the 10th... my favorite holiday scent. Well this year, a couple weeks ago...I picked up a couple festive smelling foamy soaps from Bath & Body Works. One was cranberry (which is good), the other was called 'Fresh Sparkling Snow'. The snow one, is SO GOOD! I don't even know how to describe it...sweet..but festive and delicious? I don't know, it's good.
As for more traditional scents... I love most of them...cranberry, vanilla, cinnamon, gingerbread, mint... but I usually don't like how strong they are.
So what's YOUR favorite holiday scent??
Trudy out for meow :)!
Well hey there! Saturday post! SO I ended up going to the mall last night for a little meander. I saw a few decent things, but no real winners. I did get a couple things though, and there was a purse I kind of wanted haha.
I did, however, get ...a nice, hot, festive bevy :D
YAY! Nummers... Peppermint HC :3
Today I actually finally got my yearly blood work done (and urination sample)... we'll see what's up with that! (Hopefully all awesome). Then I picked up a few groceries and took a quick wander around Market Mall and then went to Wal Mart for a couple things (and to print off some wedding pics)...Needlesstosay, a decent amount of money has been spent.
Tonight, I'm headed out to Strathmore. I'll share more tomorrow as I need to get this up and get going!
SO Christmas blogging!
So for the 8th the activity is to...post a picture of Christmas decor. Well, if you recall...I don't have myself a tree.
This is all the decorations up in my house...(yes, just the lights)
Not far from my house, there's a house with a giant tree outside they decorated...
HOWEVER, my sister Lambie has a pretty awesome tree this year that I can share... (I'm assuming)
It's so nice :D Look at all the prancing reindeer!
How's your Christmas decor??
Gotta run!
Toodles for meow :)!
