Break It Down

I'm currently enjoying my Christmas break from my couch. I believe this is the laziest I've been in a long, long time. No complaining here.

Christmas has come and gone and it was fantastic. The best part of the holiday was spending time with my family. We had a great time with my dad's side of the family-exchanging white elephant gifts and playing Minute to Win It. Christmas day was spent with my immediate family including my sweet future sister-in-law.

I can't complain about my gifts either. We surpised my dad with a signed Stan Musial jersey that he loves. My mom liked her Glee game but I was kind of outshown when she unwrapped her Kindle. I also got a Kindle (and a new laptop which allows me to blog from the couch!). I've already read two books and am starting a third.

One of the books I read was awesome. I'll be posting about it later.

Ok, off to figure out my outfit for the Wild, Wild West NYE party and continue watching Toddlers and Tiaras!

Christmas Time is Here!

And I can't believe it! Seriously, Christmas already? In about 10 days?!

I'm totally behind in my gift shopping too. I started off great with getting my dad's present in November! I have half of my mom's present down...shh..don't tell her but I bought her the Glee Wii game!

I hope she likes it!

I still have to purchase gifts for my brother and his fiancee. I believe my brother is getting clothes or some Cardinals stuff and Cara is going to get either some bling from Anthro or a gift card. I love that place. I wish I could afford to shop there more often.

I'll let you know what I end up with!

Love It/Hate It

Since I suck at blogging I thought perhaps I'd be forgiven if I did a little love/hate list. I'll list some things I hate (well, that is a strong word, let's just call it dislike) and then follow up with some things I'm love, love, loving right now.....Here goes:

Right now I'm disliking:

*cold weather-Perhaps if I lived in this huge house, I would like snow and cold weather a little bit more...ok, maybe not. I'm not enjoying this cold at all and we are getting snow this weekend and I'm so not liking it at all.

*inconsiderate people at work who print off a bunch of stuff and then never pick it up and have therefore wasted a huge amount of paper

*bread and sweets. Okay, I lie. I LOVE breads and sweets, but I shouldn't eat them and they just won't leave me alone!

*pretty much any song by Katy Perry right now. Overplayed and getting on my nerves.

*Pink. Not the color, the singer. She just irks me for some reason.

*people who go to Wal-Mart. It is like they have never been to or in a store before when they go there.

*celebrities that buy utterly ridiculous things for each other. Beyonce bought Jay-Z a car that is supposedly the fastest car available. First, I highly doubt he drives himself anywhere and secondly why does he need to go anywhere that fast? I feel like that is just wasteful. Donate the hundreds of thousands of dollars to some charity and help people instead of buying something so useless.

*finally, no list of stuff I dislike would be complete without.....KEVIN BACON! New commercial for Logitech? CREEPY!!

See how little I had to make it? That's in order to keep people from being creeped out.

I LoVe:

*Christmas-baby Jesus, cheery songs, the hunt for just the right gift, sweaters, overall jollyness (or is it jolliness, or is that even a word? Who knows? Who cares? Everyone is hap, hap, happy!)

*St. Louis magzine, the Post-Dispatch, and the Nate Berkus Show for highlighting an incredible person-my lovely and amazingly talented friend JOI!http://daveandjoi.blogspot.com/

*scarves-can't get enough of them!

*Gap's Really Skinny Premium Black Pants-I need to order like 8 pair of them right now. That is how much I love them. Like leggings only a little more structure, but comfy and classy looking. Go find them now.

*Keri Hilson's new song as well as Cee Lo Green's song (you know the one with the f word in it)


*friends and family-I'm so excited to see some great friends this weekend and catch up with another friend tonight. I think the older I get, the more I truly appreciate my family and my friends. I'm blessed to have such supportive people in my life!


Ok, must get back to work....later!
