Merry Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas to All!!!

Weather

The weather sadly does not match with the holiday! Alas that's a good thing with me, I really don't like snow, so I'm glad it didn't snow for the Christmas day!! It is mainly in the 40s or lower and I haven't heard of any "snow showers" or "flurries" in the future forecast...which is a plus, still!!

Merry Christmas!

Well a Merry Christmas to everyone!!! As much and reality that it is Christmas already, but...it just doesn't feel like it, at all. Odd to say that, but it's true for me. There is no snow where I live at, I have no Christmas tree with gifts underneath it, and well it just doesn't feel like it. Most of the gifts have been sent out and received and well opened by now I'm sure. I'm glad that my boyfriend Eric and my friend Rainbow loved their gifts a lot!! Sadly I have no picture of the gifts Eric got, but they are: a Sunbeam Stand Mixer, a Pink Floyd t-shirt, and 3 small baking cook books. I was told by him that he has been looking for a mixer and well, I'm glad I got one for him before he got one. So he loved and enjoyed the gifts!! As for my other friend, I got her a wallet with a Panda, rainbow, stars and blue on it, a panda ring aaand panda necklace:

I also was told that she adores them to death, especially the wallet so I'm really glad I got them for her and she loves them all!! You deserve it my friend!! Alas, down to me and what I got right? Well, from my boyfriend I got: a heart shaped mood ring and the Calico critters Furbanks Squirrel Family!!

I looove mood rings and he knows it <3!!

Doesn't it look like they are presenting me the ring? My boyfriend thought so and caught that, I didn't till he mentioned it and I love the thought he did of that!! It wasn't intentional for me to make that idea, of "presenting", to happen...so I'm glad he mentioned/saw it that way!

I might need another monkey Rainbow lol!

What my friend Rainbow got me is: cute monkey stickers, a handmade monkey, and a handmade card!! Well, seems another friend of mine loves the handmade monkey and wants one for herself, so I'll get in contact with you Rainbow for that, when you have time for it all!

 

The Pink Floyd t-shirt to the left my sister gave to me and luckily enough for her it fits me lol!! An unexpected gift or gifts are the ones on the right. They are from my boyfriend's mom and I did not know I was getting anything from her, but trust me...she will be getting a gift now. I have gotten gifts from my parents earlier in the year, which was cash and I got more cash today from my Godparents...so I Thank them for that!! I Thank everyone for the gifts I've gotten and the thought put into each and every one of them, I appreciate it!!

Wedding in the future...?

It seems I've been watching too much wedding shows and all this end of the month more than before or usual. The first show I have been watching more of now is TLC's "Say Yes to the Dress". As much as I would love a dress from there and costing over thousands of dollars, I'm not that type of person to spend that much money in just one item/clothing, unless its totally practical and necessary. So I did digging and went to a site that I have been to before and heck, my sister purchased her wedding dress from there. I actually picked her dress and bought it for her, ahem lol!! This place and site is very practical and good with price range and that site is David's Bridal. I looked through it recently and, omg....I think I found my dress already or some styles I really like! 

The other show I have watched before and now am again is We tv's "My Fair Wedding with David Tutera". I just loooove his revisions and just his taste with everything he fixes and touches. If I ever need help with my wedding in under 3 weeks to my wedding, I would definitely want him to help out. Most of the works he does is mainly themed based, in which asking the bride what the theme is to her wedding and all. I.....don't have a theme in mind, at all! Many little girls growing up and planning their weddings have all of this thought out, but I don't or at least they do to a degree, but...I really don't. I just love blue and would love that in it, thats it basically lol!! Other than that, I have nooo freaking clue what else lol!! Every time I see these shows, I picture myself in them and well...I start to cry. Course I do picture my boyfriend in them too and could swear he will cry in that day, when it comes. There's been lots of signs recently of this might be coming true or at least the first part to getting here/there in this new year and I hope it really does happen. We'll see what happens and noooo this is not a rush or hint hint type of thing, it just how I feel in it all.

Yaaaaar matey, traditions!!

Well since its the holidays, there are some traditions that happen around my house. My dad made a tea that's called "Ponche" and I'm glad he did. He did eliminate some of the ingredients in it, so its not exactly like the recipe in that link. Most main ingredients he kept were: oranges, sugar canes, sugar, green apples, guavas, tamarind pods, and water. All the other ingredients in that link are optional, especially the brandy lol! The other tradition, not made by us this year sadly, is Tamales. Parents bought tamales from restaurants and they were deeeeelish! My mom used to make them I think every year, but more recently she's been not doing much cause it's just too much for her to do on her own. I would help, but I fear I might not do something right (as proven recently *sighs*), so I try not to help much with food. Hrm, why the yaaaar matey part in the title? Cause I just had to share this link of Skecher boots I found and adore. My mom said they looked pirate like and that just hit me in loving them more lol!! I sadly didn't get them when I saw them and on sale, cause they didn't want to give me a discount on them being the last and well one being a display one. So, I found myself a coupon and hopefully they take it. Yes I know I got a North Face jacket to think about too, but there are after Christmas sales going on and I will take advantage of it all!!!

Anyways this has so far happened to me in the past week or in the weekend. We'll see what happens in this new week to come. Everyone enjoy the rest of your holiday and have a Merry Christmas!!!

Christmas gifts completed!!

Weather

The weather has been getting worse and worse here. Its been flat on the 40s, usually going down than that into the 30s and well strong winds at times, but it seems the snow has been skipping us completely. Going to Minnesota, then Wisconsin and totally skips us and then back into Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and so forth. Kinda glad it is for now, but sometime this week or the weekend, we will be getting snow showers or flurries. Guess its skipping cause the ground here is still too warm, along with the air here as well...somehow lol. We'll see if the snow showers or snow in general sticks and how many inches.

Gifts ahoy!

Well I had one gift or gifts already since 2 yrs ago for my boyfriend. Mishaps happened in order for him not to get it when I bought them awhile back, but now he will receive them. I just hope he doesn't have it or one like it already and well, that he likes it and puts it to use. Another I'm sure he'll be confused in, but it will still be sent lol. Got all my gifts for my friend Rainbow today! I sure do hope she likes them and well, I tried looking for some of the items she shows in her blog post of "wishlist", but oddly didn't find any close to them...soo I hope the ones I found and got for her can be "replacements/substitutes" to make up for the ones I couldn't find. One gift in particular I hope she really likes and I'm sure she'll know which one I will be talking about...all elements she likes in one item and I feel proud of myself for noticing that after the purchase :D!!! Both their gifts will be sent this week, it is my mission to. If I postpone that another week, they will not get there on time. Post office drags during holidays, especially during Christmas, so I will be gathering their gifts and shipping them this week and hope they arrive well/intact and on time!!

I'm not sure what to get for my parents. I got my gift early from my mom, but I think I spent it on other things. It seems the money went fast and disappeared from my wallet, once I checked it today to buy the gifts. It....stunned me really....cause I can't recall where I used the cash at and that scares me a bit. Alas, I'm not sure what to get my parents...I hardly ever do anyways cause when I ask them they say, "I don't need anything...so don't get me anything" and go on their business. My sister on the other hand, I totally don't know...since well, she did get her Kindle Fire already, lol. Mom's looking for a cover for it, so I can't get her that as well. Guess I can get her something Twilight-ish, even though I might need to wash my hands and well soul somehow once I purchase those items lol!!

Movies:

"Sometimes They Come Back"

Well I saw the whole movie and it was really good. There are at times where you would like to jump off your seat to beat up the annoying group gang and well give them a piece of their own medicine, but then you realize you can't. You can't not cause you're the audience and its just a movie, but well....you have to see it to understand this part lol!! It is once again a somewhat adventurous movie, with some morals, but in the end of it all...it works out and there is a moment that makes you want to cry as well. If you want to give this movie a shot, go for it. I found it on youtube in parts, so it should be still there and ready to be viewed.

Tv movie:

"Neverland"

This show barely started today, Sunday, on Syfy channel (check your local listings for times). It explains the story of how Peter Pan and everyone else, including the world Neverland, came to be known. At first it seems like a talkative type of movie, not wanting to catch your attention, but of course...as with any movie or so, you need to keep going to judge it better. Today was only part 1 of the show, tomorrow will be part 2, so check your local listings again for times!! I wish that they continue up to the part when he meets Wendy and well the rest of the characters we know of by now, but it doesn't they will go that far.

Video randomness:

I just got to point out these 2 new commercials that are out. Finally Chuck Norris makes one, after all the talks for shits and giggles we, the players, do with his name in honor of him in the game lol!!

And this one I love for what she says, soo just for the giggles and heck of it I put in here:

Oh by the way, I have started to play this game again with my boyfriend, but we do use....free servers. If you play it that way and would like to know which server we play in, let me know!!
