<br />
(Will update with a picture when I get a good one, they're always moving!)<br />
<br />
Not much has gone on since yesterday, honestly...I worked! A LOT!<br />
<br />
Uhhh...JCP has a button thingy they're doing, and I want to collect them all- I've already won 3 $5 certificates and 1 $10 certificate...they will be used for Christmas shopping! :)<br />
<br />
We had pizza for dinner tonight, it was delicious. :P<br />
<br />
Bed time then work tomorrow, and (hopefully!!!) getting and setting up some Christmas decorations!<br />

<br />
I meant to post a bunch of stuff over Thanksgiving, but I was way too busy working and cooking and cleaning to even think about anything else! I'm gonna do a list of things I'm thankful for every day until Christmas. :)<br />
<br />
The First Day of Christmas: I am extremely thankful that our first Thanksgiving went smoothly and that both sides of the family could make it. :)<br />
<br />
Instead of writing a really long post about Thanksgiving, I am going to go heat up a thing to take care of my cramps and then read webcomics. Yay. :3fightingcomethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07352663773692786617noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5897748176399145070.post-64122303981174488632012-07-20T18:55:00.001-07:002012-07-20T18:56:57.844-07:00Getting Organized: Clothing Drawers!So, I have a lot of Tshirts. And by a lot, I mean A LOT. So I decided to organize them! Of course, <a href="http://www.darkroomanddearly.com/2012/03/diy-organized-t-shirt-drawers.html">this pin</a> from pinterest (my new addiction, there's so much I want to take inspiration from on there!!!) helped motivate me to reorganize some of my clothing drawers. :)<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Before:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc9wM2uEoEnoSqwJXVcm7N61gjMhn6zV6P-eZWxBGn5MSYjZj6slvj6dpQmG2wKV_zj_ChT8e6ASUO_63DQDnhGrUHYye8sshb1wMU3ImftId-h79o8RvL6Pi_cIKm9brAqWkZzYfyHCpL/s1600/100_8074.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc9wM2uEoEnoSqwJXVcm7N61gjMhn6zV6P-eZWxBGn5MSYjZj6slvj6dpQmG2wKV_zj_ChT8e6ASUO_63DQDnhGrUHYye8sshb1wMU3ImftId-h79o8RvL6Pi_cIKm9brAqWkZzYfyHCpL/s320/100_8074.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="background-color: white; text-align: center;">So, with my shirts stacked in the drawer like this, I had no idea what was actually in the drawer...it also didn't want to close properly. Fixing time!</span><br />
<br />
Step 1: Take all your shirts and throw them in a pile on your bed. Then organize them into piles! Mine were (not pictured): sports shirts, then workout shirts, then random shirts!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNCFqG6bH6pgQj8ZqJcJqIB5pHTgYL1gHQmV_iSv0kNNl69vyoqaH3pbjNtHzbUd8R6AwaVvw5cLuYPKZFVPeGqSmRtnTdXHhm1Ry4Ov9g4d13kqXNMm-hI9dZHtASR3Qu743ZygCG-lmy/s1600/100_8075.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNCFqG6bH6pgQj8ZqJcJqIB5pHTgYL1gHQmV_iSv0kNNl69vyoqaH3pbjNtHzbUd8R6AwaVvw5cLuYPKZFVPeGqSmRtnTdXHhm1Ry4Ov9g4d13kqXNMm-hI9dZHtASR3Qu743ZygCG-lmy/s320/100_8075.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Step 2: Lay your shirt flat with the side you want showing on the bottom.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix88i1hDUlS-ssOLDABdpSCVVOm4JLeR0NyOn6SLSi7L4KnBu3JXjwLiAi9HloK_pTaZQFQLRMVQ6QUf72HgqNP98dF8yi__VjreOPvlvpdsdayedBZ6mpFACBf-iYRBLTHLDFI1F9z-3G/s1600/100_8077.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix88i1hDUlS-ssOLDABdpSCVVOm4JLeR0NyOn6SLSi7L4KnBu3JXjwLiAi9HloK_pTaZQFQLRMVQ6QUf72HgqNP98dF8yi__VjreOPvlvpdsdayedBZ6mpFACBf-iYRBLTHLDFI1F9z-3G/s320/100_8077.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Step 3: Fold the shirt in half, lining it all up.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_VSRiHOCNjj6Bv7jCG97hPRZHzeEsw-0I9yXA7CUp-AkIkUoT_X5wJMY4JiePyV8zOK46zv-WQpq8dgpR4hZhsOubr_0wZsbcw9Xmp-s-P3P28vs2T1MJ1fjiXEXNkn4YgP-5PAwW8tiJ/s1600/100_8078.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_VSRiHOCNjj6Bv7jCG97hPRZHzeEsw-0I9yXA7CUp-AkIkUoT_X5wJMY4JiePyV8zOK46zv-WQpq8dgpR4hZhsOubr_0wZsbcw9Xmp-s-P3P28vs2T1MJ1fjiXEXNkn4YgP-5PAwW8tiJ/s320/100_8078.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Step 4: Here's the part I did differently...Fold the sleeve and side in, with the edge of the sleeve touching the other side of the shirt. I wear a L or XL in tshirts, so this gave me the best use of space.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCe5hC1p8vJMTZtY-q6co0HWCBgPQ97tROu7pKWyxGhipVueKQhL50dvVJrAoB93gD3p2BEPzaFctDM92LIHcvO73apM-jMLdfhslTB_G4Fi4vhbswr4RrZhtpDXbCBIPc87Cebmq2Em2Z/s1600/100_8079.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCe5hC1p8vJMTZtY-q6co0HWCBgPQ97tROu7pKWyxGhipVueKQhL50dvVJrAoB93gD3p2BEPzaFctDM92LIHcvO73apM-jMLdfhslTB_G4Fi4vhbswr4RrZhtpDXbCBIPc87Cebmq2Em2Z/s320/100_8079.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Step 5: Fold the shirt in half lengthwise by folding the bottom up to the top.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifELmb0zmmHNZPCJZcR6UcwaXroRv6iEPEayatnnSykX_L_9LiId9-mDQPXecMpmmV8WDseYbI7fm9rTB-9jF9JH-Mwe1zNlHajviWSNRG7iIFyyVYg6IIscVBZlb4USj0nlteKelOJht3/s1600/100_8080.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifELmb0zmmHNZPCJZcR6UcwaXroRv6iEPEayatnnSykX_L_9LiId9-mDQPXecMpmmV8WDseYbI7fm9rTB-9jF9JH-Mwe1zNlHajviWSNRG7iIFyyVYg6IIscVBZlb4USj0nlteKelOJht3/s320/100_8080.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Step 6: Fold the shirt up lengthwise again, then put in your drawer and repeat the process with each shirt!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPQSdANmPndwJIoNdmynKDV3ufdxpN5_x4LIz113jYoWlN1g8n_q9S1hG1zgnX47OIYrQqje6GJA1RcxuXUmCG25haBANIzVRmeXwvrEsYCLPqnx2pdJPBIs2JWICJohLR0ILiR-xKrAmN/s1600/100_8081.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPQSdANmPndwJIoNdmynKDV3ufdxpN5_x4LIz113jYoWlN1g8n_q9S1hG1zgnX47OIYrQqje6GJA1RcxuXUmCG25haBANIzVRmeXwvrEsYCLPqnx2pdJPBIs2JWICJohLR0ILiR-xKrAmN/s320/100_8081.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Voila! I fit a total of 25 shirts into my drawer using this method. They fit better, and I caa see them all!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhARKi7w0CYDv2O1e1eLYhyphenhyphen4c4ePEYS8CUQHXeRwCWjAhsOcErT7Bo5yR_k6IMGoQG8tTMCCf7G7LbpN3S5Uha5AT4bcJtNXaVoHJV4H_JVc1eYBFh9J_T2n-yi0t8OobUicw85don0ahCp/s1600/100_8076.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhARKi7w0CYDv2O1e1eLYhyphenhyphen4c4ePEYS8CUQHXeRwCWjAhsOcErT7Bo5yR_k6IMGoQG8tTMCCf7G7LbpN3S5Uha5AT4bcJtNXaVoHJV4H_JVc1eYBFh9J_T2n-yi0t8OobUicw85don0ahCp/s320/100_8076.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I also used this method with my pajama drawer (shown below- shirts on the left, shorts in the middle, pants on the right) and my unmentionables drawer (never gonna be shown! XD)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The sock drawer is my next target! :D Show me your finished drawers!</div>

Of course, there is no rest for the weary, especially when you have a house to work on- but we're getting closer day by day. :)<br />
<br />
Today, I removed the tape from and shelf papered one side of our bottom cabinets. We FINALLY have storage for our cookware!!! It already looks so much better. Before we were just storing our stuff on the stove and on the counter, which left very little space to do anything.<br />
<br />
With our newly-acquired counter space, I decided to break down the rest of the watermelon we had in our fridge! Here are the spoils:<br />
<br />
<img height="300" src="https://p.twimg.com/AxTjvBSCEAETqsI.jpg" width="400" /><br />
<br />
And that doesn't include the pot of pickled watermelon rinds I have cooking! Mmm, I hope they turn out delicious!<br />
<br />
I already did a load of dishes, but I'm going to have to do another one today after we eat all this watermelon at D&D. :D<br />
<br />
To celebrate my shelf papering victory, here are my spoils:<br />

All I've been doing lately is working, coaching, and family stuff. I feel like I'm getting sick again, though- I'm constantly exhausted. Oh well.<br />
<br />
Trying to get into a healthier lifestyle, here's hoping I can stick with it. :)<br />
<br />
In other news, I've been doing crafty things (making clay things, whoo!) so maybe I can post more and make more things and it'll all be cool. :3<br />
<br />

Awesome psychedelic owl belt, right? :D It was on a <i><b>super</b></i> sale...it cost $1.04 after tax. :D<br />
<br />
<br />
In other news, I am currently suffering from a horrible sinus infection and ear infection and period trifecta...so, trying to take it easy today while still getting house stuff done. If you remember <a href="http://fightingcomet.blogspot.com/2012/04/little-things.html">my to-do list from my last post</a>, I haven't gotten a lot done. The fridge is complete and in working order (except the water line...), and Will put a second layer of Spackle on the holes in the walls.<br />
<br />
Today I'm working on taping, painting, and cleaning out the cabinets in the kitchen. Being sick does not help matters, but I can do a little, take a break, and do a little more as I feel better. :)<br />
<br />
Time to get back to work!<br />

Time is a very precious thing these days, and, of course, something I (we) have very little extra of.<br /><br />Some things we did have time for recently was our honeymoon (April 15-20) and a friend's wedding on the 21st. :) The honeymoon was GREAT (more on that eventually, I promise, maybe) and the wedding was very small and beautiful. It was an evening affair, so in the morning we went and returned/exchanged some wedding presents, and got some things we REALLY needed- like trash bins!<div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Black is for trash, white is recycle.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
We also bought a refrigerator from some friends- I love it! It's a almond color, side-by-side fridge and freezer, with an ice and water machine in the freezer door. I feel like we should have paid them more for all the work it took to get it in the house!!! (Sorry Jeremy!)<br />
<br />
All in all, we've been making progress on the house, though it is slow and steady. We still have a ton to do, though. Listing for me to remember, and also for progress updates, I suppose?<br />
<br />
Things to Do (in no order whatsoever):<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Kitchen</li>
<ul>
<li>Put fridge back together and turn on, replace filter</li>
<li>Tape to prep for painting walls and cabinets</li>
<li>Kill kitchen walls</li>
<li>Put second layer of Spackle on holes in walls</li>
<li>Put light plates back on walls</li>
<li>Scrub out cabinets and drawers (again)</li>
<li>Put shelf paper in cabinets and drawers</li>
<li>Replace faucet</li>
<li>Replace filter under sink?</li>
</ul>
<li>Bathroom</li>
<ul>
<li>Clean inside and outside vanity</li>
<li>Clean inside and outside medicine cabinet</li>
<li>Clean closet</li>
<li>Scrub floors, esp. grout</li>
<li>Replace toilet paper holder</li>
</ul>
<li>Every other room in the house</li>
<ul>
<li>UNPACK AND CLEAN!!!</li>
</ul>
</ol>

As you can see, we only have a ton more to do. Hopefully we'll have a washer and dryer soon! For tonight, I'll be doing laundry and Mom and Granny's. :3</div>

Married life is cool, I guess. The only thing that has really changed is that we're now living together in our super awesome house. :D<br />
<br />
April Fool's Day was super exciting! ...our water heater decided that it needed a new manifold, so we didn't have hot water for about a day, but it was fixed quickly. Hooray! It cost $172, but my mom paid us back for it- what a great landlord! Haha. She really is a great landlord though, but I think it helps that we're related.<br />

A bluejay (we think) is making a nest above our garage security light- at first, it was failing spectacularly, but now it actually has created something resembling a nest. I'll eventually get a better picture of the nest, but here's a photo of the pile of fail I tweeted a couple days ago:<br />

<br />
The nest was really pathetic back then...the nest has been getting better, so we should have some bird eggs up there, and baby birds born soon!!!<br />
<br />
I'll eventually make a post about how the house has come along (and how it was before, eugh). But for now, time to watch some Netflix with my honey. <3<br />

I wouldn't want to be like one of those people that are crazy while doing it, but I would like to use coupons to save money on things we want and need. I have been clipping coupons for quite a while, with the full intent to go on a grand shopping trip and stock up on things; however, with working as much as I have and wedding planning and working on the house, my time is stretched pretty thin. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Anyway, I decided that this week I would actually GO. Part of this decision was based on Farm Fresh's new ad, which said they would be doubling coupons up to $2. Normally, they double up to 99 cents daily, and $1 on Wednesdays. For those that don't know, doubling coupons means that the store will match the amount stated on the coupon- so, if the coupon states that it will take $1 off the item, the store will match the dollar off, making it a total of $2 off the price of the item. Doubling up to $2 (making the total savings $4) is a big deal, especially if the thing you want is already on sale, so I had to check it out.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
After going through the ad, I found a great deal I was super excited about. <a href="http://www.precisepainrelief.com/productInformation">Tylenol Precise Pain Relief</a> products were on sale for $5, and I had a $5 off coupon, making the item free. That's right, I said FREE. I had wanted to try them out, and now was the best time to do it. :)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I made a list of some of the things I wanted and the coupons I had for them. The list was a great way to keep track of what I wanted and how much I would actually have to pay for them...which makes it easy to write about it later! :D</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The following is a short recap of my shopping trip: Go to Farm Fresh, wander around the pharmacy section for a billion years because drugs are UBER EXPENSIVE, only get one Tylenol Precise patch box because it was all they had (I wanted two), wander toward yogurt and get last ones, get call from Will, complain about various grocery things on phone to Will while wandering more, eventually check out with coupons, SUCCESS.<br /><br />I spent a total of two hours in Farm Fresh. I left a little before 11:30. Hahaha.<br /><br />Here is a picture of my awesome haul! (Minus one yogurt cup because I ate it.)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And, for my own records, the cost, coupons used, etc:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Swanson Flavor Boost (Chicken)- on sale, 2/$5, $1 off 1 coupon, doubled to $2, total cost = 50<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 16px;">¢</span></li>
<li>Yoplait Greek Yogurt Cups- on sale 10/$10, used 2 50<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 16px;">¢</span> off 2 coupons, doubled to $1 off 2, total cost for 4 cups = $2</li>
<li>Tylenol Precise Pain Relief Patches- on sale for $5, $5 off 1 coupon, total cost = FREE!</li>
<li>Duncan Hines cake mix- on sale for $1.79, 35<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 16px;">¢</span> off 1 coupon, doubled to 70<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 16px;">¢</span>, total cost = 79<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 16px;">¢</span></li>
<li>YoCrunch Yogurt- on sale 10/$6, $1 off 4 coupon, doubled to $2, total cost for 4 cups = 40<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 16px;">¢</span></li>
<li>Campbells Soup at Hand- on sale $1 each, 50<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 16px;">¢</span> off 2 coupon, doubled to $1, total cost for 2 = $1</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
At checkout, my total cost before coupons ended up being $17.64. After coupons, the amount I paid ended up being $5.14. I saved a total of $12.50, which was a savings of 72%. :D (The receipt calculated all this out, not me, btw. Haha.)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The 72% savings is extremely impressive until you learn how small my purchase was...but hey, it's a start. I have deemed this shopping trip as my "practice run." I'm hoping I can find more coupons and combine them with great sales to stock up on things for our house. And hopefully the next trip will take less than 2 hours. XD</div>

Words are often wasted on meaningless things; actions speak louder, but few are willing to take them. Soft words and loud actions rule our lives.<br />
<br />
<br />
...anyway.<br />
<br />
Today, we talked to the florist, got undergarments, picked up the dresses, got an alteration appointment, and got a dress for Granny. Very productive day. Will was also productive- he did a bunch of errands today, mostly related to the house. :)<br />
<br />
I'm irritated with certain people currently, but it's my fault for expressing my views. I feel no shame in doing so; I am more upset that I was attacked about it by people I thought were friends that would support me no matter what. This has happened twice recently; once on a facebook post, and once through text. I understand that everyone has their own opinion, but can they PLEASE just respect my opinion and my wishes when and if I express them? :(<br />
<br />

Pretty much it's exactly what it sounds like- a timeline of everything you've ever posted, replied to, games you've played, pictures, videos, friends you added, etc, etc, etc. I got forced into it already, sadly, due to an app I wanted to try (Pinterest). I can't go back to the original layout.<br />
<br />
It's very "Big Brother"-esque. Others can choose a year and a month to see all your interactions from that time period. Every single status you made, every single thing you were tagged in, what you liked, everything.<br />
<br />
Some people have asked me why I'm deleting everything I can from past years on my profile now.<br /><br />Though most people wouldn't think it and don't realize it, I tend to be more private of a person. I don't like people being all up in my business, nor do I want anything from the past (pertaining to me or others) to be pulled out of the grave. Therefore, I have made the decision to delete the old content. I have deleted every note I made except one (how he proposed) and have been working on removing content from at least 2009 and on to clean it up.<br /><br />So when people ask why I'm deleting the old posts: Because I want to. Now fuck off.<br />
<br />

I have just now started using it, and I'm actually liking it now that it's personalized and I have a fandom (Sherlock) to lurk around. Haha.<br />
<br />
Speaking of <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1475582/">Sherlock</a>, I've been watching other shows that <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1212722/">Benedict Cumberbatch</a> has been in. So far I've seen <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0435995/">To the Ends of the Earth</a> and <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0370139/">Fortysomething</a>, all for free on Netflix Instant. I am now watching <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0966151/">The Last Enemy</a>- I've finished the first episode and have enjoyed and been confused by it so far. :)<br />
<br />
Pretty much I think he's gorgeous in everything. I actually like him as an actor as well, and I typically don't have an opinion on actors, so.<br />
<br />
In life news, we will be getting into the house in about 5 days :3 I am super excited! First things to do will be taking before pictures, cleaning, painting, and flooring. And then moving! :D<br />
<br />
I don't know what else to talk about, so I will go do something. Laters! (lol Sherlock reference)<br />

As far back as I can remember, I've loved cats. I don't know where this obsession has come from, but it's here to stay. :) I just thought I'd share some really cute cat photos I found on <a href="http://www.thatcutesite.com/">www.thatcutesite.com</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
These are the type of pictures that make me turn into a bowl of jelly, blubbering incomprehensible words about how cute that cats are and squealing in an incredibly high pitch. It sounds something like this:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">

I don't think I'm over exaggerating, either. I <3 cats. :3</div>

This may sound like a horrible, sad thing, but it's really not- in fact, the reason it will be the last here is because all further holidays will be held at my house. I have great memories of Christmas and holiday times in general with my family, but we've all slowly drifted apart due to sickness and marriage and such. I'm so excited that Will and I will be able to have Christmas at our house, and I'm already planning it out, haha. :)<br />
<br />
I spent Christmas Eve with Will's family- we went to his church's Christmas Eve service, and then back to his grandparent's house for eggnog and cookies. Christmas Day was spent with my family, with Will joining us later, after he had finished with his family in the morning. It was a little awkward before he got there- my uncle and his wife came over with his son, but they didn't bring her three kids. Weird.<br />
<br />
Anyway, my Christmas holiday was overall very nice and I can't wait for next year at my place. :3<br />
<br />
My haul this year (and from who, too):<br />
<br />
Mom: earrings, a bracelet, $50 cash, rain boots, angry birds keychain, angry birds magnets (for our fridge!)<br />
Granny: $100 cash<br />
Dad/Virginia: $50 to Olive Garden, cookies, scarf/hat/gloves set<br />
Will: Guesstures, a kitten salt and pepper shaker set<br />
David: $15 to Bath and Body Works<br />
David/Sarah: sugar free bridge mix, $30 to Best Buy, $25 to Cracker Barrel<br />
Will's Grandparents: $50 check<br />
Will's Parents: crochet/knitting patterns, crochet hooks, stitch markers, $50 to Home Depot, various other small, useful items<br />
Blair: New Professor Layton game, $30 to Barnes and Noble<br />
Julia/Erwin/Lily: a book about Unuseless Japanese Inventions, French White Corningware<br />
<br />
All in all, it was a great Christmas. Will and I got some house stuff, and I received some nice and useful gifts.<br />
<br />
There are certain traditions that I will steal from both sides of the family (like where Will's mom makes all the "kids" stockings full of useful things, and where the family all eats dinner together from both sides) but I can't wait to start making my own traditions with Will (and maybe some eventual kids ;P).<br />
<br />
<br />
I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! This was a sorta belated blog post, haha. Happy holidays, all. :)<br />

<br />
Working retail kinda sucks, especially with the extended holiday hours of all the shopping centers. At least I'm getting a great paycheck to cover all my shopping expenses!<br />
<br />
On that note, I've almost got my shopping all done- just need two more things for Will, then I shall be done. :)<br />

Here's a picture of a kitten, the best Christmas gift ever!<br />

AUGH. But, overall, the day ended pretty well. Work was fun other than my initial failage, and I feel like we accomplished a lot. And I got to see a lot of cute kids today~ <3<br />
<br />
My throat is still kinda scratchy, but I'm feeling a ton better than I did a couple days ago. :)<br />

Oh! If anyone has any ideas for Halloween costumes, give me some! Currently I'm debating on a sexy nurse outfit or something to celebrate my weight loss, haha.

<br />
Lately, I've been obsessed with the BBC show <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00t4pgh">Sherlock</a>, a modern take on the classic Sherlock Holmes' stories written by Arthur Conan Doyle. <br />
<br />
I mean, who can blame me, when the main character looks like <i>this</i>:<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0f/Benedict_Cumberbatch_filming_Sherlock_cropped2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="264" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0f/Benedict_Cumberbatch_filming_Sherlock_cropped2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<i>oh gods</i>, he's GORGEOUS. The episodes are also extremely well done, and the actors just fit the characters perfectly. <br />
<br />
Ya know how some couples say they get one freebie with 'insert famous person here'? Yeah, Benedict Cumberbatch would be mine. <3<br />
<br />
<br />
Mmm, other things in life...I'm working full time at Stride Rite, so at least I have a paying job. Trying to apply for a career job, and hoping I get something soon. Also, I've been on the Atkins diet, and have lost 24 pounds so far~ Nothing fits anymore, lol.<br />
<br />
<br />
Everything's been pretty good- I really do need to write on this thing more, even if the things I write about are mundane.<br />
<br />
Also, note to self: Get the term "sexual professional" into my vocabulary. Lol fanfiction.

<br />
...Lemme start at the beginning.<br />
<br />
After work yesterday, I was heading over to Will's place for some "quality time" (aka to watch his house play DnD) and was craving some Arby's, specifically their Jalapeno Bites. If I had known they had stopped carrying them as of July 1st, I would have gone and gotten food at one of the four Burger Kings I passed along the way.<br />
<br />
But I was determined. I sat in traffic for 30 minutes, increasing my already long drive to an hour, impatient to see Will, and ravenous to boot. My day had been crappy (everything I do is wrong, of course) and I could not wait to ingest unhealthy but delicious jalapeno bites. And see Will, of course, but I was really, REALLY, fucking hungry.<br />
<br />
Anyway. Passed four Burger Kings to get my damn Jalapeno bites and they stopped carrying them. Ended up ordering a salad instead, which was the only thing on the menu I could really eat on my diet. Went over to Will's, sat in my car for 10 minutes, and cried like a baby.<br />
<br />
Apparently, Arby's Jalapeno Bites were the only thing keeping me sane and away from becoming a homicidal maniac.<br />
<br />
After calming down a bit (I felt slightly better, but still emotionally compromised) I went inside, ate, and watched Will and all his housemates, including a few more people, campaign for a couple hours. Will made me delicious coffee, because I was freezing even under a blanket, and as soon as campaign was over left to go back to his parent's place, where he was staying while they are out of town. I also went home, sad that we didn't get to spend more time together, since I won't see him for almost 2 weeks due to work and Otakon.<br />
<br />
Today, I am still depressed over the jalapeno bites (yes, it was a blow to my already horrible mindset, shush) and do not want to eat any of the food in the house. I have had a salad, which I am sick and tired of. I've lost 12 pounds in 3 weeks, however, which is good. But I'm STARVING FOR SOME FUCKING JALAPENO BITES. Why, cravings, whhhhyyyy???<br />
<br />
RIP, Arby's Jalapeno Bites. You shall be missed, and hopefully I can find a good recipe for them soon.fightingcomethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07352663773692786617noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5897748176399145070.post-47469430349128507582011-07-18T21:12:00.000-07:002011-07-19T20:37:32.986-07:00I wrote something.Long time no see, blogosphere.<br />
<br />
I've been crazy lately, not at all in the right mindset for anything. I may as well admit it somewhere, if not here. Lots of doctors appointments have been happening, with little results. I'm still as sick as I was, if not worse, so. Oooohh well.<br />
<br />
Wedding planning has been...happening? Mostly with/without me, but that doesn't make sense to you, does it? I mean to say that I've been going and doing these things, but have not been happy about them. I haven't been happy about anything.<br />
<br />
Anyway. I wrote something tonight- I don't know if it'll evolve into anything more, but I'm tired of hiding all the shit I've written in my computer or whatever, so I'm posting it here. Maybe it'll get my ass into gear.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">Her skin was on <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">fire</i>- from one little touch, barely a whisper of skin on skin, contact that was accidentally made. He never noticed it; never noticed <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">her</i>, but affected her all the same. The hallway suddenly increased in temperature, causing her face to flush from both the heat and embarrassment. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">But the heat radiated from her like rays from the sun, brightening her day, making her head swim all the way through English class. Her favorite class- she enjoyed not only the subject, but the look of him sitting in front of her. He stretched his arms back over his head and she got a whiff of that <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">delicious</i> scent he wore- it always sent her heart racing, just like the brush in the hallway. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Poetry was her favorite part of the class. She could hide her feelings in between the lines, and no one would know the difference when she read her writing aloud. She often wrote of love; a feeling she had felt full force, but never experienced. Maybe she would with <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">him</i>- her first love, if only in her own mind.<br />

I've been interested in fanfiction again, reading and writing. I reread some manga, and maybe inspiration will strike. In the meantime, I have my first day of work tomorrow, and hopefully my shitty mood will lift and I will be happy again.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

Hence why my journals rarely last long...anyway, It's been almost 3 weeks since my last post. I was doing so well, too. D:<br />
<br />
I kept wanting to do this post called "Crafty Tuesday," where I would post a craft I had done previously on my blog, pictures, descriptions, and all. However, I came up with this idea on Thursday of one week...and promptly forgot about it until -after- Tuesday. Like I said, bad at blogging.<br />
<br />
I also have been attempting to catch up on sleep/rest, which of course means my body is up with bells on at 9am. :/<br />
<br />
I've been doing some real life things, such as reading, playing video games, coaching softball, attempting to do research (first day did NOT go well, not sure what to do now...), laundry, planting some plants (tomatoes, YUM), and hanging out with Will.<br />
<br />
I'll eventually get a crafty post or two up here, with pictures and all, but for now I will continue to try and update regularly. We'll see how this goes. :3fightingcomethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07352663773692786617noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5897748176399145070.post-91210701025733930422011-05-27T20:41:00.000-07:002011-05-27T20:41:58.835-07:00One Word About Graduation Weekend: SUCCESSThis post is long overdue...I started writing it a day or two after graduation, but never got around to finishing/posting it. So, here it is. <br />
<br />
I walked on Saturday, May 7th, for graduation, with about a billion of my friends (actually, like 10-15 were at my graduation, and another 5 or so graduated later in the day). We were all in a line, and walked together, sat together, and graduated together. It was pretty awesome :)<br />
<br />
The ceremony was long, but well-worth sitting through. My feet still hurt like hell from the giant blisters I got while walking (they took us way out of the way to walk over the seal :/) but it was a good day. A long day, but a good day. Will had to go to work at 11:30, and I was really worried that he wouldn't get to see me walk because of it...I walked across the stage right around 11am, and he left right after, so he got to see me. :D<br />
<br />
Later that night, I had my graduation party. I mean, engagement party. I mean...EVERYTHING PARTY. Graduation, engagement, AND my cousin's birthday. We had a TON of food...way too much. DX I wanted people to bring food instead of presents, so my parents wouldn't have to cook as much, but mom and Granny still were crazy and made waaaaaaaaaaay too much food. <br />
<br />
I ended up getting money from my family and Will's, and Will gave me <i>The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy</i>, a very large book containing all five novels and one short story. I'm currently halfway through the fourth book~<br />
<br />
I had an okay time at the party...30 people came, including friends and family. I didn't really get to eat because I was trying to talk to everyone, and I felt that I didn't have enough time to talk to everyone, and that not everyone was having a good time. >____< Mainly, it was just stressful.<br />
<br />
Before and after I felt like I shouldn't have had the party, especially after my Grandma decided to tell me how much it cost...she's been suuuper bitchy, due to being tired, I guess. Anyway...I was pretty upset, and still kinda am. I really can't wait to move out- I can have pets, and parties, and friends over to hang out.<br />
<br />
I think I'm already planning my housewarming party. XD<br />
<br />
Anyway, glad to be graduated. :3 Diploma is on the way~fightingcomethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07352663773692786617noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5897748176399145070.post-33322033837169031082011-05-09T08:33:00.000-07:002011-05-10T12:23:39.421-07:00To Do List Day!I have a couple posts in the works, but I have to edit and add some things before I feel like I can post them, and I am incapable of doing that at work. So, here's my to do list for today:<br />
<br />
<strike>1. Work. Read the book Will got me while at work. Eventually go home. (THIRTY MINUTES YAY) </strike><br />
<strike>2. Get home. Eat food, because poptarts and water do not count as a balanced breakfast.</strike><br />
3. CLEAN ALL THE THINGS (for reference, check out <a href="http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/06/this-is-why-ill-never-be-adult.html">Hyperbole and a Half</a> )<br />
4. No, seriously, clean my freaking room. This semester was not kind to me. My stairs are an obstacle course.<br />
5. Do laundry. (I am running out of pants.) Hang up laundry and put away when finished.<br />
6. At this point my cleaning spree should be winding down. Take out trash and recyclables from room and put in proper receptacles. <br />
<strike>7. Type and print softball schedules because I forgot to do so at work.</strike><br />
<strike>8. Read more of the book Will got me. (<em>The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy</em>, if you must know)</strike><br />
<strike>9. Do some crafty stuff.</strike><br />
<strike>10. Eventually eat something else so I don't die of low blood sugar</strike>.<br />
11. Clean more things, because I probably messed everything up while being crafty.<br />
<strike>12. Go visit with Mom and Granny to let them know I'm not dead.</strike><br />
<strike>13. SLEEP.</strike><br />
<br />
That seems like a pretty good place to end my list. Now I just have to remember what is on my list when I get home so I can do said listed things.<br />
<br />
Thirty minutes left. :3<br />
<br />
Edit, 5/10/11: Well, I did everything except cleaning stuff. XD;; We did other stuff when I got home.fightingcomethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07352663773692786617noreply@blogger.com0
