Finally got around to finish wrapping gifts last night, thank goodness.
My dad’s gifts, Martin’s gift and the blue one on the right is a gift to myself that I had Amazon wrap for me.
I cant believe Christmas Eve is tomorrow! Where did December go? :(
Off to watch the 2hr special of Glee! :)
Did some last minute shopping the other day.
It wasnt crazy packed like I thought it would be AND it started raining! But there were people dressed up as toy soldiers going around taking pictures with people and there were carolers! It was pretty awesome. They usually have snowmen figures at the bottom floor but there werent any this year :(
I picked up some stuff from Lush, mostly delicious smelling holiday stuff and I picked up a gift card from B&N. I was going to get some Strawberry Moose Munch too but I didnt realize those were seasonal and all that was out was the usual plain flavors and Dark Chocolate Peppermint. Darn. I say strawberry should be year round!! Its the best one!
I also ran into Cora there! How unexpected. My first YouTube makeup guru meet!
Curious to know what I got from Lush? Check my beauty blog here!
I had a slight hunger headache yesterday and the thing I hate the most about hunger headaches is that even after you finally eat, you scarf everything down making you sick from eating too fast and the headache doesnt fully go away. I know I should had taken some medicine but I thought the headache would just go away.
WRONG.
I had trouble sleeping around 7AM-ish because my slight hunger headache turned into a full blown migraine. By the time Martin called me for my wake up call I was grumpy, irritated and I felt like crap! I hate waking up with migraine’s because getting up from bed is usually really painful. Normally I would take an Excedrine and that would be that, but since it gives me really bad ulcers (like every single time I take them now) I cant take them, at all. And they’re the only thing I’m not immune to! Ugh.
I had a bunch of stuff to remember to do today, like add additional items to the packages I was sending out, respond to a few emails and run errands. I did the emails, I mailed my packages and Martin mailed out his paper work, I finally found a gift to get my dad that I think he’d like (plus it had the 2 games I wanted to get him without having to buy a DSi!) and I got my makeup ready to bring with me on the wedding trip.
BUT…
I forgot a few additional items to go in the packages I was mailing out. An entire main prize in fact. I’m bummed I forgot, I dont usually forget things like this… but I had a migraine and I usually get really forgetful and annoyed when I do. I slept on the way to the post office and lunch from how much my head hurt. I couldnt stomach my lunch and I constantly felt like throwing up. I know, I should probably get an MRI done soon but I’m scared! I KNOW! That makes no sense right? I never said I made sense! But I havent been getting them as frequently as I use to, so I’m thankful for that. And Martin forced me drink water for dinner and it helped it go away (I dont drink water ever. I hate the taste of water). I know I should probably drink more water, its been on my resolutions list for two years but it’s just so hard to drink water when you’re not use to it, you know?
For the most part, I feel accomplished. My migraine is now gone (thank goodness) and now I’m worried about getting things ready for the trip. I dont even know what I’m going to pack! I have no time to think, boo!
On a random note, have you ever read a book and you kinda wanted to stop reading mid-book or mid-series because it was just getting so good? I kinda feel that way now with the Sweep series lol!
And another random note… Fairy Godmother from LUSH smells delicious but its not the best scent to keep in your room, it gets insanely strong.
Less than ten days away from the wedding. The countdown is now hitting the single digits. My goodness, its coming faster and faster. I am nervous, it does still feel all so surreal. I cant believe this is happening! Picked up my dress the other day, I tried everything on and it looks amazing. I couldnt help but smile and twirl around. I’m so glad my sister in law and the store lady didnt look at me like I was insane. I should do a review on the shop I went to, their customer service is amazing. And the ladies that work there are so very sweet. I have to admit, I think I’m more excited we’re going to Vegas than that we’re getting married. Oh my gosh! I’m gonna be one of those girl’s who walk out the hotel and people pass by thinking I bet she just got married! How weird! I’m ready to marry my best friend (deep down inside, even though while I’m up there I might be searching for a way to break for the door, ignore that lol), I’m ready for delicious buffet food that I miss so very much, I’m ready to see my cousin who I havent seen in two years, I’m not however ready to go through the hassle of changing my last name or walking down the isle. Seriously, can I just… not walk down the isle, or can everyone just like, not look at me lol.
This is insane.
Oh! And Christmas shopping is done, mostly. I have to get 3 more things and I’ll be done :) I wish I could had enjoyed the holiday spirit more this year, this month flew right by me thanks to planning this wedding (though I cant really complain, I’m getting my dream winter wedding and my navy blue with silver dream wedding)! I hope next year I’ll be able to be more into the holiday spirit and actually get our tree up (I wasnt able to this year, sadly) and bake delicious cookies and make cute little crafty things and just enjoy everything.
Martin hugged me one night and told me “did you know, we’ll be starting the new year as a family? We wont just be saying it anymore, it’ll actually be true this time”. And that made me happy. Like everyone else who knows us, we already feel like we’re married. But know that we will actually be a family does make me feel warm inside :)
He’s determined to make next year happy for me, my happy 25. I’ve been dreading turning 25 since I had a nervous break down when I turned 20! Haha. Goodness, he’s put up with my random outbursts for such a long time. I think its cute and sweet of him to make sure that me turning 25 wont be such a big deal and I’m so thankful that he cares that much.
This one day we were at the mall and we were walking out of this kiddie/anime store and there was a scroll poster on the wall and one of the guys who are in the Kingdom Hearts Organization XIII looks like Sephiroth (a Final Fantasy video game character), well, in my opinion. So I get them mixed up. Martin’s a big Sephiroth fan (I personally dont like him) and so I was pointing to it and I said “hey, isnt that your friend?” and he was like “no, that’s not him” and I was like “oh… I tried” and we were walking away from the store and I was thinking about my ex who probably woulda bit off my head for not being “smart” enough to know the difference and Martin squeezed me and said “I’m not mad, I’m not like your ex. I dont expect you to remember all of these things” sometimes I think he can hear my thoughts. But I do love that I dont have to pretend to be some video game expert to keep him happy and I’m glad that the things I do know, he’s excited to teach me :)
I’m working my way though the Sweep series, I’m on book 7 (The Calling) right now and I’m fighting the urge to go continue reading it lol. I’m sad that I’m almost done with the series! I’ll try to post up a few reviews (I think I reviewed the first one, though I’m not sure). I think my blog could us a few more pictures anyway :)
I’m also suppose to be finishing up some packages that I’m gonna have to send out on Monday, and I’m not haha. I’m lazy! And it’s cold! I’ll finish them soon though. Its not much left to get done, but still a bit. Hopefully Monday will the be the last busy day before Christmas! Next year, I’m not going to forget to get my holiday shopping done in November! Haha.
The wedding is less than 15 days away. I’m extremely nervous. I swear its the guys who are suppose to get cold feet, not the girls! This is insane.
I have to pick up my dress this week (ahh, finally!) and Martin has to pick up his wedding band, mine isnt done yet :( I hope it gets done soon! Gotta finish up the favors, mail in the payment for the reception, order the cake and I think that might be it. Am I really all done?!
The cold is making me lazy, I’ve been getting out of bed passed noon! I hate that, I feel like I just slept away half my day. Goodness. I’ve been trying to squeeze in as much time as I can reading Sweep, I’m on the 6th book: Awakening. I love this series, I’m sad I’m almost half way done with it. I read the back of the last book and now I’m itching to get through the rest of the books, but not at the same time. Darn.
I need to do a little more Christmas shopping, though I have no idea what I’m looking for. At least its just for my parents and I also have to pick up a gift for Mae too!
I’m thinking of baking some Christmas cupcakes today! But we’ll see how that goes. I got some Red Velvet Cookies from Lucky’s yesterday. I wonder how those will be. I wish I had more time to get into the holiday spirit this year, poop! I totally will next year though! I have so much to do to prep for the new year. New Years is probably one of my top favorite holidays even though its not a really epic celebration. But new beginnings is something that Aries are attracted to :)
My mom added me on Facebook, how odd lol.
Gonna go read some more of Sweep before I go pick up Martin :)
