I'll be hoommmmeee for Christmas!















Last night at Casa Charity was spent cleaning and decorating for Christmas! I usually put my tree up after Thanksgiving, but my parents brought it and my two tubs of decorations down to me last weekend, so I decorated last night.





It looks really festive! I am loving my new pre-lit tree, even if the middle of the tree has a strand that keeps blinking off. I totally did NOT add another strong of regular star lights to it to pretend that it worked. nope, not me!!














I even decorated my bathroom! The only place in my apt that isn't very Christmas-y is my bedroom. Really how can you take something pink and purple and make it look Christmas like? Well actually I did that with my bathroom but minor detail. My one consession to the season in my bedroom was switching to my red and white snowflake flannel bedding. Sadly, somehow I lost my dust ruffle in the moving process last January, so I currently have my snowflake comforter on top and my purple and white dust ruffle on bottom. I plan on just closing my bedroom door when guests come.






I decided since I was decorating I might as well spruce the place up and seriously clean. So I did. For two hours. I still have my bedroom to clean tonight. Mostly I just have clothes sitting around that need homes. (Work clothes) I seem to have more clothes than I have space to put them... hmm.. not really sure how that happened? :) So that is the goal for tonight, as well as finishing packing for the trip home to my parents farm tomorrow night!




I am SOOOO EXCITED to go home and get to spend time with my entire family. All 6 of us!! For several days. I haven't been home since Labor Day and I haven't been home at the same time as Kev and Liz since.. uh... *ponders* Mother's Day!! So that will be alot of fun! Liz and I are allready looking forward to our black friday shopping with Mom. Which if you're thinking we're those people that camp outside of stores at 4 am you are soooo wrong!




We go into the shopping mecca of Rensselaer, Indiana! And head to the world's smallest walmart. (seriously, it is!!) Walgreens (I'll think of you Coral!!) And the Dollar Tree.. Not too exciting to the rest of the world but exciting to us! And that early morning nonsense? hahahah no, we're lucky to get there by 10 am, which in Rensselaer time is really 9 am!! (gotta love the Indiana time changes!!) We're back by 2pm and then its NAPTIME for the cherrybear!! Or at least I hope it will be!!


I still have to pick out a DVD to bring home for us to watch... My movie picking reputation has been tarnished by the accidental purchasing of Jarhead two Christmases ago.. Seriously, never watch that movie. DIRTY DIRTY DIRTY!!! So I am continuously working to redeem myself. Otherwise my Dad just might kill me!!!
DISCLAIMER: I did NOT buy the toilet covering, that was ALLLLL my MOM! If you don't believe me, ask my SIL Liz, she has a matching one!! :)






JESUS IS COOL!!

I love Jesus & Sephora!!

 I am not a morning person. There are very few things I will get up early for. Friday morning I got up while it was still dark outside. My alarm went off at 6:45 am and let me tell you I have not seen that time for a very very long while! However, something really exciting was happening that morning! Sephora came to Tippecanoe Mall! THATS RIGHT FOLKS SEPHORA!!!!!!!! I love me some Sephora! Yes, it is expensive, but the quality is amazing, and in reality I spend less on Sephora products than trying to find something that works with my wacky skin at the drug store. I have been looking forward to this for weeks. I set my alarm early and ran out the door in a hurry! I got to the mall at 8:02 am. Sephora was opening at 10. I was not the first person there! I was about the 12'th person there and at first we were all smushed into this doorway which was really not comfortable at all. Thankfully the kind people at JcPenney let us inside the store so we could line up outside of Sephor...

Who needs a Knuckle anyway?!

 If you are squeamish and do not like pictures of fingers stitched up, now would be the time to close this post and come back another day!  I put this picture of my struggling get up for my shower first so that no one has to see the stitches if they don't want to. Call me kind :) Also, this get up did not work at keeping my finger dry.  So last night i was opening a box of books, and accidentally opened my knuckle as well. It's funny, it didn't really hurt at the moment. I felt it of course, but it wasn't horrible pain. Blood started gushing and I ran for the bathroom to get some tp on it and bandaids. I do NOT do well with blood and seeing all of it made me a tad bit light headed. I managed to find some gauze and tape and after looking at my finger and noticing that i could see INSIDE my finger and the knuckle skin was WIDE open, I almost passed out. hahahaha.. it was GROSS! I dr'd up my finger and tried to decide if it would heal on it's o...
