New Year!;

The new year is almost here! Holy shit it does not feel like 2012 yet. I'm going to be 20 in less than a month and that makes me feel like I'm 50. I know it doesn't make sense, it's just me being neurotic.
I made a playlist of songs that have been gracing my iPhone for the past week. Enjoy your new years weekend, and be safe!

Make-Ovah;

Make-ovah, I needs one. I have been attempting to figure out how to design a blog page. It's going about as well as a 90 year old woman trying to lift a 2 ton car. Therefore, I must call in reinforcements! If you or anyone you know will design a blog for me, please, let me know! I should warn you though, I'm broke and if it's going to cost a ton of money I'm not interested. I understand people need to make money for their work, but I've seen some of the prices people put on blog designs and holy shit I would much rather buy clothes. I don't need anything too fancy, just something that looks nice and I'm not going to want to change in a week.

Yesterday was a "lets not get out of our pajamas and read all day" kinda day. It was fantastic. I bought 4 books on my Nook for $1.99. Seeing as how they were that cheap I wasn't expecting much from them, but hot damn they surprised me. They're trashy vampire mystery books, and I love them. A girl needs a trashy novel (or 4) every now and again.

Happy readings and have a great day!

Instagram;

I got an Iphone for Christmas! I've been going a liiiitle crazy with the Instagram app. I love it because it's way easier to snap a picture with your phone than going and getting your camera.

Zane and Cam playing the lego board game I got Z for Christmas. Don't you love Z's star wars jammies?!

Today I had lunch with my friend, Shelby. We haven't seen each other since Truc's funeral, so it was nice to catch up and reminisce.

Santa put this pretty nail polish in my stocking! Can we say "spaaaaarklyyyyy!"

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday! Also, here is another link up with E.

Wannabe House;

Okay, so, I don't have the money to decorate my house like I want. Basically, my sources are Goodwill and hand-me-downs. I window shop all the time, which probably isn't healthy. I figured, Hey I'm psycho, why not share my psychoness with others.

Anything Shabby Chic, but this is my favorite pattern. It's way too girly for Cam, but a girl can dream.

Floating shelves & desks. I love the modern look of these. Mixing modern/traditional things is my favorite style.

I also love this shelf and hanging...thingy. The color is perfecto.

This light fixture is so gorgeous.

These knobs! I die. Is it weird to swoon over knobs?

What are some of your favorite styles or pieces of furniture?

Finishing Touches;

4 days and counting! I've been busy finishing up Christmas prezzies for everyone and i'm 90% done! The only thing I have left is to make these:

Brownies in a jar! I'm giving cookie cutters and oven mitts with them too. It's a simple recipe, I got mine here.

This is right before my family's Christmas party we had on Saturday, my hair looked good so I took a picture :P

my week;

Has been full of insanity. Well, my life is filled with insanity. Christmas is in one week and I still haven't gotten Cam anything, oopsie. I don't get paid again until the 23rd so we'll see how crazy the stores are on that night ;). I work at a party supply store, and we have cards for reaaal cheap (like 49 cents cheap). We also have a senior day, which means if I work on Wednesdays my life is one of the seven levels of hell. You would not believe (or maybe you would if there's a senior day where you work) the amount of old people who bitch constantly about the prices of cards(or the prices of everything in general). Those old bastards aren't getting much cheaper than that, but they could care less. I hope I die before all I have to do in my life is bitch at people about cards.                                                                                                                                                                As I mentioned, We have a new puppy! Chloe is energetic as hell and sweet as candy. We have another black lab, Biggie (named after Biggie Smalls), and he's about 4 or 5 years old. Chloe gives him a run for his money. The first day we had her she wore Biggie out so much he slept for like 10 hours. (which in my opinion is a lot of sleep for a dog)                                                                                                                                                                                                    I hope you all have a happy holiday!  So does Snoop Dog!                                                                                         

Linking up!;

yes.

Oh, and sorry for not doing the Chloe post...I forgot. I will try sometime this week. PROMISE!

New family member;

New family member, we has one. Chloe an adorable black lab puppy. She's 7 months and reaaaallly hyper. I'm falling asleep as we speak so I will post about her tomorrow. (and attempt to get her picture if she'll sit down long enough:P)

Lazy day;

I've been sick for the past two days so yesterday I gave myself a much needed Lazy Day. The laundry was piled to the roof, but I decided a day of cuddling with my babies, browsing through Etsy and Pintrest, and watching Netflix for 3000 hours straight was a much better idea. Cam and I have been hooked on That 70's Show ever since it came out on Netflix. It's like crack.

Here are my babies yesterday on our lazy day;

Lucy wanting to go outside to chase the birds. (ignore my toes that need a pedicure ;P)

Waiting for food!

Jack, not happy at all about the flash in his face.

p.s. Sorry about the crap quality of the pictures. The lighting was bad and I was using my ancient Polaroid.

Christmas wish list;

Christmas is in 23 days, holy cheesecake. I've got everyone's xmas prezzies but Cam's. (There's so much I want to get him I don't know where to start!) I've been surfing around Etsy finding what I want & the list is five miles long. I've narrowed it down a bit to share with you!

01. This gorgeous ring!

02. I LOOOVE this retro pink clock!

03. This print. (my favorite quote)

04. This adorable Iviemade pillow cover.
