My New Coat

Yes I'm writing a post about my new coat. It was a 54 dollar coat...how much do you think I spent on it? Mind you this is a coat that a week ago I didn't buy because it was 54 dollars. It was THIRTEEN DOLLARS today when I went to Target! I almost swooned. Seriously, God is watching out for me because I really needed a coat. Like really badly. They don't have a picture of the exact coat on the site but its basically this but not wool lol. It would have been cool if it was wool but I'm really happy with what I got.

Anyway, also today I was able to finish my Humanities paper about human trafficking, I figure since I was in a good mood from the coat and all I might as well tackle a depressing subject. I think Im almost ready for Christmas. I'm so proud of myself I've gotten some really good deals on some great gifts. I got my sister a leather jacket for....wait for it........9 bucks lol, she loves jackets and such so yeah I think it will be a big hit lol. Got my little brothers flasks, they're the kinda guys who will think it's cool. Oh and my little sister told me that her guy is pretty into clothes and cooking soooooo. I got him a couple of nice polo shirts, formerly 40 dollars for only 7 dollars each at Tuesday Morning. I LOVE buying gifts like that because it's something that's obviously high quality and expensive but you didn't have to spend a buttload on it.

Black Friday

Today is "Black Friday" aka the day we're doing Thanksgiving. The husband had to work his 12 hour shift (double time bonus woo) and we decided that since it's just Thanksgiving not Christmas or something that he would work and we would do Turkey Day the next day since he has a 3 day weekend. My parents are coming up for it and I'm stressed. Our vacuum isn't working for crap so the floors look terrible. I can't find my recipe for stuffing and can't get ahold of my mom to get the recipe, I haven't put the damn turkey in the oven and it's noon. Luckily it's only 15 lbs and completely thawed but WTF am I supposed to do? Hubby is sleeping, the 2 year old is horrible lately, she screams at EVERYTHING. I have a 6 page end of term paper due for the Humanities class that I HATE like poison on Wednesday, the class doesn't end till the 8th of December but the dumb biznatch is so lazy we have to have it in on the 3rd.....I'm just pissed about that. I don't understand what she wants, she writes out a bunch of gibberish and expects us to get it. Whatever I'm writing the paper my way with the appropriate number of references and that's it. I never ever have had so much trouble writing essays and such as I do for this moron. Seriously I've never gotten less than an A- on a paper or essay since 6th grade. Bleh, one good thing though is that instead of having to go try to get a TAG on sale at Target for my darling daughter I got it on sale for the same price on Amazon. Yay. My mom wants to do a little shopping so hopefully we'll get the chance.

Pretty Good Day Today

Today was actually pretty good, the husband got his beta key for DC Universe Online. Oh he almost peed his pants it was pretty funny. I had to run out to the store because it snowed and was icy for a couple days and we needed a few things. No I have the most adorable boots, they have a cute zipper that goes round the top and they scrunch and they're black and they have high spike-ish heels. Non snow and ice appropriate. So while I'm picking my way across the parking lot the husband tells me to get some new boots with no heels. Now I'm really not a shoe person but  I think I could come to fall in love with boots. They finally make them for us ladies with oddly muscular calves. I'm overweight right now but even when I was underweight those suckers never shrank. Here they are I got both colors cuz...you know he didn't say A pair of boots and they were BOGO.

They are super comfy almost like slippers plus real leather so they smell divine. Anyway for any ladies with wide calves go to Avenue or Payless Shoes I know for a fact they have boots that will fit you.

Now on to My Little Posies. I've been working on a couple new flower designs and here they are. They're not 100% perfect but I'm in love.

Christmas Shopping

Someone stop me, I am way overboard for Christmas already. It's just too fun to pick the perfect gifts for people, to wrap them nicely, fill stockings and watch how excited people are when I give them the gift I've chosen for them. It's not fake excitement either, my mom is totally honest with me and she always tells me what people say about the gifts I get them. I do stockings for kids and adults alike, lots of fun stuff!
This year it looks like God willing my entire family will be getting together for the first time in about 5 years. My sister is an officer in the Salvation Army and is stationed in Arizona. She never can get away as well you know Christmas is a big time deal for the Salvation Army. My older little brother is in the Air Force we usually don't get to see him either. My little little brother we do get to see far more often but we're excited to see him too. PLUS everyone is going to be bringing a significant other. I haven't met my sister's boyfriend (they are serious) and I've only briefly met my brother's girlfriend (the one in the AF). So what the hell am I supposed to do? Do I get them small gifts? I mean we're going to be doing the whole gift thing so how awkward if no one gets them anything right? Boys are always hard to shop for but a guy I don't know? I mean if all else fails I can always get my dad or brothers a couple of pairs of goofy pajama pants but I can't give PJs to a guy I don't know that's just weird. Plus I don't know how girly my brother's girlfriend is. I know my littlest brother's girlfriend loves pink and girly just as much as me so she's easy, but the new girl? No clue. My mom doesn't really know her either. Blah. Advice? Pointers? ANYONE?

Just Discovered a Very Fun Craft

OMG covering your own buttons is the coolest thing EVER how did I not know about this before? Seriously I've been a serious crafter for a good 14 years now and I never knew about this? I love picking the fabrics, deciding where on the fabric to center it...oh so fun.... I'll have to take pics of what I did tonight. I love them. Plus if you go ahead and get them when Joanns has the buy one get one free notions deal they're an awesome deal 8 buttons for 2.79 which is cheaper than you can get most buttons for and they're exactly what you want instead of having to settle for something half the time. Can you tell I love them? I know I'm a total dork lol.

My next post will include samples. I love them.
