wishie wishlist

I really will update with an outfit soon. I mean it! I'm wearing a pretty cute outfit today, so I plan on going home and taking outfit pics before I head to the gym. I've been SO stressed lately with the ending of my current job and the starting of a new one. And then Thanksgiving cooking and eating and sleeping, and now that the holiday shopping season is in full swing, if I get online, I spend my time perusing through various sites ordering Christmas presents and taking advantage of online sales. Not to mention, I picked up the first four seasons of Dexter at WalMart during Black Friday, so the beau and I have spent whatever free time we get either at the gym, or watching Dexter. And I'm hooked! I love crime dramas (with the exception of CSI and NCIS... I dunno, just can't get into them) and especially things that highlight forensics. Only thing is, I'm dying to watch more, but I promised the boyfriend I would wait on him. Aren't I nice? hehe. Since he now lives and works an hour away from me, I only see him Wednesday nights, and then I get him for the weekend, so I'll have to wait until Wednesday to see what happens next! But anyway, I thought I'd share what's on my wishlist for this year (:

Did I mention Christopher already got me THE most amazing Christmas gift?! A white Kitchenaid stand mixer!!!! I've wanted one for so long, and we saw one in the Black Friday deals at WalMart, and he got for me! So now, it's sitting in my room, staring at me as I hold out until Christmas to use it. I've already been thinking about what I'm going to make first with it! Chris wants homemade pizza, but I need a dough hook for that. I'm leaning towards cookies, simply because I've been making homemade cookies all this time by beating the butter and sugars together by hand. It's tough! I can't wait to use it! Since my birthday is only 2 weeks after Christmas (January 7th) I might even use it to make my own birthday cake! (:

modcloth grab bag

So, just a quick post because I'm bored @ work. I'm so excited because I just ordered this Purple for a Purpose grab bag from ModCloth.com!!! $30 for $90 worth of accessories!!! I got an email about it around 2, ordered it (after PayPal was being a butt) about 3:15, and before I even blogged this, it's already sold out.



Things go so fast on that site! I still have yet to order anything from there that wasn't an accessory, but money was the main reason why (I have a giant wishlist... *ahem, Christmas is only a few weeks away! Just sayin' ...). I'm also such an indecisive person it's extremely difficult to purchase something when I can't physically see it or try it on. And I HATE having to return things from online stores. I recently ordered a pair of booties, each with zippers down both sides from Forever21.com (from this post, actually), and they came to me with one shoe having a broken zipper (note how I didn't show the broken side, ha). So, totally excited about my purchase and impatient and in no mood to have to wait to send them back and have them returned, I simply sewed up the broken side. Totally bo-bo, but totally faster than returning it.

Anyway, tangent.

So I also hate buying accessories. It just seems like such a daunting task. There are so many necklaces and rings and earrings and bracelets and scarves and all them go with so many different things it's hard to see a necklace and build an outfit around like I can do with shoes or a skirt or a top or a dress. Ugh, I always feel so overwhelmed when shopping for accessories, so the fact that I'm getting a $90-worth bag full of them by someone else's choosing, makes me totally excited. Most of the accessories I DO own were either gifts or hand-me-downs.There is the the rare occasion that I see something I just have to add to my repertoire, but it is rare, indeed. The only exception: headbands. I have always loved headbands as a child, and I still love them and I buy them impulsively. Shoes are (sometimes regretfully) the same way. I have returned many a pair of shoes that I purchased to quickly and bought the wrong size or just simply had nothing to wear them with.

So, yea. I plan on doing an update with some photos once I get home tonight and get some photos off of my camera! 45 more minutes of work... hope I can make it!
