Yes i know it's only the day after thanksgiving....well technically it's 2 days now since this is after midnight, but don't get technical with me, i don't like it-i know it's still early, but i'm so ready to decorate the house and tree and wrap presents and bake christmasy things and do a million crafts and wear sweaters and drink hot cocoa and watch christmasy movies. and listen to christmas music-which i have already been secretly doing for about a week now-it makes me feel warm and fuzzy and i happen to like it-i pulled out all of my christmas music for the piano too-it is my favorite music to play by far! i can't wait to have my own place to decorate next year! i have so many cool things that i keep finding on clearance or am inheriting from others and i am SO ready to have a place to show them off! next year better come quick!
thanksgiving was good-we had a tiny group of 25 this year, so everything was ready wayyyy earlier than normal, but it was kinda nice cause we had lots of time to just chill and be. i was definitely ready for everyone to go home by 2 though lol. i know i'm such a party pooper, but it's just too much comotion for me, i love my family, but i can only do so much! small doses is better for my sanity. i even got to webcam with josh for like an hour and a half in the evening and we talked on the phone while he was shopping in walmart-the booger bought something while he was on the phone with me and said it was a "perfect christmas present" so i am curious to see what he found! he is so very sweet, but it sounded mildly suspicious when he stopped mid sentence while talking on the phone, laughed and said, "babe i just found your christmas present, i'll call you in a sec after i buy it!" i think i might want to be mildly afraid. but i love him so i'm sure it will be awesome whatever it is!
today we decided to be super lazy and instead of keeping with the tradition of baking christmas goodies the day after thanksgiving, we instead watched a million episodes of criminal minds and late in the afternoon we ventured out to hobby lobby (yes, it was glorious) and found some super cool dealios and awesome fun things that i would just love to buy. i refrained however and only spent $20.00- i was a good girl! i bought some to die for wrapping paper that was $3 and i found these super cute letter pictures on clearance and bought them mostly for a wedding reception (yes it's early, and yes we're unofficial, but i feel gathering small things that have dual purpose is not criminal and a very good use of budgeting :) ) they hang from a ribbon and spell out "xoxo" and they are super uber cute and i love them, and they look SUPER awesome above my little photo collage of the man and i-by photo collage i mean the 4 pictures ever printed of the two of us, a birthday card, his valentines poem to me and several inspirational quotes bahahah probably need to get working on more pictures of the two of us-we royally suck at taking pictures of the two of us anywhere!
tomorrow we shall venture out to do our annual saturday christmas shopping-tracy, mom and i go every year and it is always a fun adventure-i will miss it next year when i can't come home, and this year we won't do quite so much since tracy has been so sick and uncomfortable-i feel so bad for her! hopefully the doctors can fix her soon so we can get her back in tip top shopping shape! and i think tomorrow i might be a sweet girlfriend and bake some goodies to send to the dorm for the man and jesse-maybe-if i'm feeling super crafty and house wifeish-which i may not since i made homemade rolls all by myself the other day for everyone to devour and leave me no leftovers-cool peeps-but i guess it is a compliment since they could have hated them and not eaten any! :) here's to happy shopping!
