Deck the halls..

Fa la la la la la fahrvegnugen!

Can you say BAHUMBUG?

That is my husband at the moment. I love him OH SO MUCH, BUT HOT DAMN HE PISSED ME OFF YESTERDAY!

I was going to write about it last night but I just was so upset I felt like I shouldn't blow off steam yet. We were arguing about the Christmas tree. Yes, what is supposed to be a joyous event turned out to be ugly.

I'm not going to get into it but I can say that the tree is up and Marc bought lights for it today, so maybe I can light it tonight!








My Ciocia Linda and I were trying to convice Nana to use the no rinse shampoo. That stuff works good it's just weird not washing your hair out and it's a little like you left a bit of conditioner in your hair...here is me trying to show you the outcome..The lighting was terrible, and my camera really sucks too.


and here is Marc craving attention (he thinks its weird that I take pictures of myself lol).



In other news, I just finished writing two essays for my (hopefully) final test in History class! IF I pass this and get an A than I wont have to take the final exam YES YES PLEASE!
I'll let you know how it turns out!

In The Dark

Today was just a tad on the boring side.

We were getting our electricity switched over from old school glass fuses to the breaker system. Turns out if you can't sell a home with our current system! (Nana is not selling right now, but just for future reference). So because the electricity was off most of the day so that the electrician wouldn't end up like this Marc and I sat around bored, trying to stay awake since we had to wake up at 7am.

At around 11 I decided that we really needed some groceries so I headed out to go take care of business. I have been trying to make coupons work for me like my sister does but my state is stupid and it just doesn't work out. I still got to do 5 double coupons today at Pick N Save but my bill was still crazy. I didn't even buy meat! Oh well.

Today was our first real flurry day, it's funny because I remember last year's first day was Dec. 1st too! I love the snow though, at least I have something pretty to look at instead of just being freezing! Our space heater kicks bootie too, awesome!


Today was just a tad on the boring side.

SO..it's official. Frankie has to go get his claws out and his kahones removed. He is too much of a little rebel and scratched Nana. I really don't know what to do with him. I love him, but he is being too much of a hellion. It'll be interesting to see how different he acts once he's fixed.



On to homework time. I have to write an essay critiquing another essay. Joy.

I'm hoping Marc and I can get our tree up this Friday and I'm enjoying some Hot cocoa by the fire, this really is a cozy time of year!



Cheers! P.S. I swear I'll get my act together one of these days and take my own pictures!

LOCKED OUT!

I am really starting to hate my early morning class. I didn't pick it on purpose, but in order to start school this semester I had to take this one! I usually end up getting only 4-5 hours of sleep and really drag in the morning. It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have to work so late! Oh well, lesson learned and I'm already thinking about my next semesters classes, and making sure that my classes aren't so early in the morning. Ugh I'm sad to say that I didn't go to Curves this morning. Today really was just an all around "bad" day. :( Maybe I should get a gym bag that I can leave in the car so it will already be in there for the next day? I have to get motivated. Weird how when I feel really good about my progress that I work out harder but when i feel not so good about myself I don't want to work out. I would think it would be the opposite. Honestly i want to run more but it is too cold out and I don't think that is a good idea. I'll have to stick to the treadmill.

In other news, here is a recap of my night last night...

I had this for a snack, yummy pumpkin "cake" (more like a bread in a cake form) with molasses.





Marc and I had a snuggle fest with Frankie.



What the heck were we watching?



I left a message with the vet today hopefully we can get him an appointment soon.

I walked to school today and to the library. It was pretty nice and sunny but really cold. I am wondering how this is going to work when it's snowing outside? I am really not looking forward to this winter, but I am trying to stay positive! Here are a few random pictures from today... I have started to really like taking pictures! Plus I liked my outfit (really bad lighting)

Love marc's face, this was an accidental picture! Like nana's house? It's weirdly awesome in it's own quirky way.


I always look like such a sour puss. I really hate the way I look. That's so awful to feel.


I thought my outfit was cute, but then again I look at this and think God your really too heavy.


Ugly Elevator.



Some of Downtown Milwaukee on my walk to school.

On to the really bad part of the day... I got locked out of the house and had to drive to Marc's work and get his key. That really sucked and I cried a little and it just was bad. I didn't have my phone, i had to BANG on Nana's door for 15 minutes because she wouldn't open it, try to explain to her what was going on, Marc, Alice, and Andrea wouldn't answer the phone...AND when I finally started to get to Marc's work I got lost trying to find the way. I was almost late to work... but it all worked out and tomorrow is another day!


I have LOTS of homework but after 2 hours of it I'm calling it a homework free night. I'm off to make a grocery list and watch some Youtube. See ya later, hopefully a lot less stressful next time.

Let's be productive!

Last night Marc and I carved our Jack O Lanterns!!





Cute huh? Mine is the one on the right, Marc's was from a Buddhist book cover that was pretty cool :). I sprinkled the insides with cinnamon so they would smell yummy!

I didn't really do much productive things today. I did all the dishes up and tried to straighten the house but man that is SUCH A CHORE, we have so much stuff I just don't know what to do with it all! One of these days I've just got to buck up and take care of it. Easier said than done. These days I'm lucky to get an hour of free time per day (at home) so I don't want to start that kind of project only to be interrupted almost right when I start! I got a bit done and let Violet out to play some. She chewed up my hair dryer cord, thankfully not enough to make it stop working. I think all of our electrical cords are taped up due to her haha! Stinker.

Today we went to the bank, library, and then grocery shopping. I'm still stuck on soft foods so we had to be creative and think of some yummy soft foods for the next couple days. We picked up slim fasts, bananas, fixings for burritos, spicy mac and cheese, instant potatoes, and this yummy yogurt.



It's nice to get a break from the really healthy eating but I do feel pretty guilty, hopefully soon i can get to eating better! I'm usually having oatmeal with banana for breakfast, or eggs like this morning, and then today I had a whole wheat bean burrito and yogurt for lunch and a Slimfast for dinner. When I get home I'll probably eat something light before bed because I'm still pretty hungry.

The weather is still incredibly windy, cold, and gloomy! Winter is on it's way! Here are some pictures I snapped on my way to work.











Well now I'm off to finish some homework for English Class! Have a good night!
