25 Days Of Christmas- Day One

Hey So I haven’t gotten all my decorations up yet,  due to the move and general laziness but here is what I have!!

I have no design style, I have a lot of random ornaments and no particular style to my tree! lol Messy Christmas much?

My daddy and Penni sitting by the tree after it was half decorated

 

A Better View Of the tree

 

One of my favorite Ornaments, its Clara and the Nutcracker from the Nutcracker suite, there is a button on the bottom that plays one of the songs from the Ballet, I adore the Nutcracker and go every year, although I may not get to go this year, because of the family situation.

Our Mini Tree which will have ornaments hopefully by the weekend! and My Daddy’s African Violets

 The Angel light, I remember this from my Nana’s house, she is supposed to watch over the family on Christmas, so we’ve always placed her in an entrance way.   Pictures of the little Tree and Angel from the outside.The wreath we should hang up soon, the star in the center lights up

 Both trees from the living room.  I can’t wait to unpack and get more decorations out!!  

One other thing I made my VERY first Candles tonight, so here’s a quick pic of them!

 

And Amazing Pumpkin Cookies!!

Day 25 Thanksgiving

Day 25: Your day, in great detail

So My day was tiring, I was at work from 10 pm on Wednesday until 8:39 this morning,  then I went home to cook. I made Thanksgiving dinner completely by myself this year,  turkey, stuffing, dressing, and mashed sweet potatoes, gravy and cranberry sauce too.
I had dinner with Prue, her daughter, (my niece), Airforce, Jujube, Prue’s romantic interest, and my Daddy. They all enjoyed my food, apparently I am good at cooking poultry, everyone commented on it. Then after dinner everyone left and I tried to sleep for a few hours, until M and her sister came to eat, the enjoyed the food too lol.
after that was work and then home to spend all of Black Friday in bed!

More Catch Up! I picked a bad month for this!!

Day 20: A hobby of yours
I Love to read! Any kind of romantic novels I can get my hands on, although I prefer historical, and paranormals, (only kind of phasing out on the vampire thing, just not into it anymore, more into the witches and ghosts and time travel stuff!)
Day 21: A recipe – I’m gonna have to come back to this one.. I have a lot of them I love to use, but when I find my grandmother’s Christmas Cookies, I will post that one!
Day 22: A website – A comic that I enjoy- (warning this is not a PC comic, there is a lot of innuendo and outright sexual situations, (think Jay and Silent Bob, Mallrats, Dude Where’s My Car, and other movies like that) but I find it humorous, if you don’t like that kinda thing don’t click. )
Day 23: A YouTube video – My brother calls this the add theme song, and then says it fits me perfectly!

Day 11- I’m Skipping and Day 12- Friday Questions!

I don’t have a very recent picture of myself so I am waiting until I do Christmas photos!

1. What is the most physically painful thing that has ever happened to you?

Honestly I am not sure, Maybe the Time I broke My leg and Was in the ER?  (and part 3) although it didn’t really hurt until I tried to fix it, and then the hospital ride…

2. How much sleep do you get at night?

that depends… anywhere from 1 hour to nights like last night where I went to sleep at 7 and woke us still exhausted  at 5 this morning.

3. How long did you believe in Santa Claus? How did you find out that he does not exist?

What… What? Santa’s not real?? Nah I’m joking, I think it was when I found the presents marked from Santa in my dads closet, although, I do believe that a form of Santa exists in everyone who helps those less fortunate then themselves, so especially around Christmas time I am always donating money to salvation army Santa's and doing the angel tree, and stockings for kids, I even am nicer to the homeless guys who beg for money on the side of the road, I’ll give them food, and if they’re honest (once there was a sign that said homeless need $ for beer)  I’ll definitely give them money, I like honesty!

4. What was the last movie you saw in a theater?
Disney’s Princess and the frog and I loved it! The next one is going to be Tangled!

5. What do you wear to bed?

again it depends, I like frilly nightshirts, and old-fashioned ones, but I've been known to crash in anything from full clothes from the day (including socks but never shoes) to nothing, depending on how tired I was!

 

Day 10: A photo of you taken over ten years ago

 

This is Me and Air-Force when we were younger, definitely over 10 years ago!

Gotta love my 101 Dalmatians  sweater! I loved that sweater!  Does anyone else have any old pictures of themselves?

Day 9: A photo you took

 

I LOVE taking Pictures! So today I get to post some of them! Now the ones I am most proud of I took in High School and won some awards on, but I don’t have copies of them on this computer so I am digging through my files for some pretty ones!

 

Penni When I first got her.

 

 

And some Pictures I took In NY!

 

Day 8: A photo that makes you angry/sad

 

Well honestly normally a picture like this one would make me happy, I have been tearing up at the most random times, and sunrise and sunset has been a big set off for me lately.

so this made me sad,

I tend not to have pictures that make me angry, with the exception on one,

My mother, Jujube, Air-force and I on my graduation from Community College… My mom walked out halfway through the ceremony because she was “Bored” I hadn’t even crossed the stage yet.

 

Day 7: A photo that makes you happy

 

So Today I have a picture that makes me happy, its my niece and my Penni Puppy, they were taking a nap together one day sooo cute! Penni woke up when I came in with the camera but my niece was still asleep.

 

Day 6-My Dream Wedding

 

I am not very picky when it comes to my wedding. I want something sweet and charming and lovely. I do know I would love a winter wedding, maybe in December, but not a Christmas wedding, to much theme there for me.

I do know somethings though I want a dress like this one… For those who watch Anime, this is from Sailor Moon, I want a Princess Serenity Dress, I just love the flowingness of it!  So here are my inspiration images:

View Full Album

Yes there are two actually dresses in there I like they way they look, although I’ve never tried them on.

Then after the dress, I know I want roses in my bouquet so I am not sure on the color scheme yet, but I know anything but Green and Red!

I always dreamed of  a Disney wedding or a princess wedding, but Kensei has asked for one concession and I will give it to him, before I walk down the isle when all the guests are seated he will enter and walk down the isle to the Vader theme or the Imperial March from Star Wars.  But I won’t, I am getting the  Cannon and The wedding march!

I want something romantic and sweet, I have two places in mind the Pink Palace in Memphis, because I want to be married in a castle! or

at Bonne Terre in Mississippi because I think its just breathtaking and in December there would be snow all over too.

But yes that’s part of my dream wedding what do ya’ll think?
