Christmas is coming too fast!

by zel

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!

Migraine’s and forgetting.

by zel

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.

G L E E !

My new obsession? GLEE!

What a hot cast, right?! My fav’s are Finn and Kurt. I absolutely love this show! I gotta admit though, I feel like I’m cheating on Wicked with Glee. I promise I’m not! I’ve been into musical’s since I saw Wicked and it just opened up this new and exciting world. I’m thinking of taking theater next semester!

I didnt do much shopping for Black Friday this year. I just got a hoodie and a hat from AE, the next few Sweep books + The Perks of a Wallflower + Glee soundtrack from Amazon and some DVD’s from Target and Best Buy. Nothing big. I already got Martin’s Christmas gift a few days earlier and my digi cam last week so there wasnt anything else I wanted (besides you know… a Mac Book Pro and a dSLR, things I cant really afford right now lol).

I didnt get a phone call from Martin yesterday which kinda got me down, he always tells me to not wait for his phone calls but I cant help it! My modem also completely died yesterday. I called my ISP about it and they said my warranty ended in 2006. Gee, thanks for telling me now. So I headed back to Best Buy and I had to buy a new modem. I saw a guy in his Marine blue’s and I couldnt help but stare. I got kinda sad actually. I’m a sucker for blues and ABU’s. Sad I wont get to see Martin in his. Maybe one day, right?

I got a phone call from him today though. He asked what I was doing, I told him I was gonna go pee cause I got tired of waiting for his call and he was like “why are you waiting for my call?” cause you only call once! Loser! He sounded happier today. We had 20 minutes to talk which always feels like forever, in a good way. He’s being positive (finally) but I assume its because he’s been going to church and again he was trying to talk me into going to church. Hey man, maybe I happen to like my chemical imbalance! I’m just happy he sounded happier and he was telling me about all the people he made friends with and stuff.

I cant wait to see him. And I dont know what to wear! Haha. Which is odd, I’ve never really worried about what to wear when seeing him.

I should probably get some more cleaning done before I get too lazy. I hate how my room faces the sun, its actually really warm in here and the fan is on. But its really cold in the hallway. Grr.

Splurged a bit on myself. Finally.

by zel

A lot of my funds and time have been going to the wedding. Which has been a semi bummer. I’ve been doing good with not stressing out too much over everything, but it has bummed me out that all these sales and new products are coming out and of course everyone setting up for the holidays and I havent had a chance to splurge on myself lately.

I had set aside some money for an itouch but realized, I didnt really need one right now. I just bought myself a Nano last year (I dont know what I was thinking by buying an 8 GiG ipod though, I have 1 GiG left)! And besides, I really just wanted it for the apps. Haha, I’m not going to lie! I’ve been wanting a new digi cam for awhile now, not that there’s anything really wrong with mine. Its just a bit out dated and I know Martin doesnt have one. So I was planning awhile back (wayyy before he decided to enlist) to get a new camera and give him my old one. But he never let me. The camera I wanted went on sale recently (it dropped by like over $100) so I just had to get it. Besides, I think I’m worth it! Haha. So I went and got it today. The battery is still charging so I havent had a chance to play with it just yet. But, I’m pretty happy about that!

I was bummed that Barns & Nobles got rid of their Wizard of Oz/Wicked table! I was hoping to buy a Wicked shirt to wear when I see it next week (along with my green/black witch hat and my custom made “Wicked” necklace), but I went and it was all gone! Super bummed. I hope my necklace and hat will be fine (I need to find that hat). Also my Wizard of Oz comic still hasnt released even though it was suppose to on the 4th. Boo. Dont you hate when you drive kinda a long way to find something and… its not there anymore? Yeah, me too! Haha.

Went semi shopping for Marissa’s tux/dress. We went to a tux place and the tux’s didnt really fit her well so we went to the mall and tried looking for like women’s business suits, but… I dont know. I thought it looked alright! We ended up just getting her a dress lol! Did I mention she’s the best man? Yeah, we’re doing things a bit backwards. Also he’s walking down the isle, not me (he doesnt know this one yet but he will)! Hehe.

We went to go look for some last minute wedding decor stuff, and didnt find much. We did end up walking out of Kohls with a hoodie, socks, some snowflakes (decor) and perfume. Hey, they were having a sale! Haha. I couldnt find a clutch/wristlet that was just plain white. Kinda hard to believe!

We went to Bed Bath and Beyond, just because and I got to add more things to my registry! We got to have the scanner gun and run around the store scanning stuff. My registry is a bit, random… but we get 10% off if we purchase things from our registry (which might explain the shampoo and body wash, sorry guys! Haha) so why not! I’m sure our family is going to wonder what was she thinking… but its okay! Haha. That was super fun, we got to stay til after the store closed. I love Bed Bath and Beyond, they’re so… beyond haha. And they were really nice about us staying after.

It’s freezing cold, and I’m so excited that it is! I love the cold weather! Well I like it a lot better than hot. I just dont like the goosebumps or the chills.

I wanna go wrap myself in my fleece blanket and go to bed but I have some work to do! Darn. Gotta get all the paper work done by next week for the chapel. Its so crazy to think I’m really getting married, you know? Putting down the deposit for the chapel, getting fitted for my dress… its just so… surreal! I think its really fully hit me just yet. I dont think it’s going to until I’m putting the dress on right before the ceremony. I hope I dont freak out! Hahah!

The days are passing slowly…

by zel

It’s Sunday, I cant believe almost a week has passed. Thank goodness it went fast! I hope the next few go just as fast. I doubt they will, the days are already starting to slow down.

I got my first phone call a few days ago (I know, I’ve been horrible at updating this blog). It wasnt long. Just long enough to tell me his address and ask me how I’m doing, then he had to go. I tried to buy time, but I didnt want him to get in trouble so I just let him go. Again, its Sunday, is it bad that I’m expecting a phone call? I hear they get to call on Sunday’s or something? I need to get my laundry cause my relatives will be here soon but what if he does call, then I’ll miss it. But what if when I do go, he does call. I cant take the phone with me, no pockets. My parents are gonna think I’m crazy for constantly carrying my phone around the house with me.

My furball’s got their shots today. Not sure what shots, one was rabies. Meez has been sleeping on the stairs all day. Jay is acting like nothing happened. As usual.

Somehow I ended up watching Jesse McCartney music videos on youtube and that somehow led to HSM3 and I found this song “Can I Have This Dance” by Zac and Vanessa and fell in LOVE. So I bought it on itunes and I’ve been listening to it all day. Oh man, I’ve been missing ouuuuut!

Speaking of, I went shopping the other day with Marissa. Did some damage, but not that much! Marissa was chasing me around MAC and glaring at me the whole time. I was excited to get a palette from the Holiday 09′ collection but none of them really called out to me, the packaging was super cute but the shadow’s themselves werent… that great. Only one called out to me and it was a green/brown palette. But I already have a lot of green/brown eye shadow and for $36 I decided to just pass on it (see I do have some sort of self control people)!

Decided to revamp my entire jewelry line. We’ll see how this goes, I hope it goes well. Thinking of messing with some memory wire and some cat eye beads (I love cat eye beads).

Oh! I’m holding a free gift special for purchases from my Mark store (from now until mid December, I havent picked a closing date yet) so pleaseeee check out my beauty blog here for details! I need to save up for my wedding!

I guess that’s about it. Gonna try to find a more seasonal layout for this thing. I’m so picky when it comes to layouts!
