Life Update

So I am finally done with my second to last semester. It's such a relief. I then had to work both Saturday and Sunday. Yesterday FI and I went and started our registries at Macy's and Williams Sonoma. It was a lot harder than I was expecting! Plus it was busy because of the holidays. After that I had my first ever professional massage! I bought it through LivingSocial as a end of the semester present to myself. It was heavenly. 

Then FI and I decided to do our Christmas exchange last night since he has to work a buttload up until Christmas. We said we weren't going to do anything big this year since we're saving for a trip to NYC in February. So I just got him a couple movies and some clothes. He decided to suprise me with the cashmere Burberry scarf I've been lusting after forever. I'm kind of upset that he ended up spending that much on me, but at the same time I really love it and it was super sweet. They packaged it so pretty too!

It's the traditional Giant Check pattern one:

So now I have the next three days off to completely relax. FI is going to be working a lot (working retail during the holidays sucks) so I am going to try and get stuff done at home that has been neglected for awhile. Like this massive pile of laundry:

And that doesn't include blankets and sheets that need to get done. Oh well. At least I don't have any homework! I hope you ladies are able to relax a little before the stress/craziness of the holidays really hits!

Re: Life Update

  • Yay for only one semester of school left! I know the feeling of that load of laundry, I have been avoiding it!

     

  • Gorgeous scarf! I'd feel the same way if FI got me that for X-mas. Its so wonderful, but so expensive. But I'd keep it and be happy :) lol

    I did exactly that yesterday. (Relax and laundry) I did about 7 loads from Sunday through Monday night and damn does it eel good to have empty hampers and clean sheets on the bed! :) I'm off tomorrow and Friday through Monday, so I'm pretty happy about that! Only thing left to stress about is whether or not I will get Lili's (my youngest sister) gift and my STD in the mail today.

  • Yay for no homework! I had a huge pile of laundry and the entire apartment was a mess yesterday, so I went into my cleaning mode and did a deep clean on the entire place and now it looks great! I have got most of my Christmas shopping done. Today I have to get some groceries, finish the scarves and hopefully relax a bit.

    Then the holiday stress will probably set in. We're going to FMIl's tomorrow night. She wants to have a dinner for FI's uncle, but he has a cold so we'll see. He's in the nursing home so it was going to be a big deal for him to get out and go visit his house. I'll have to work from her house and then we'll have Christmas at her place, drive 2 hours back to our apartment with her, then go to my parents and grandma's on Christmas. After all that and she goes back home we'll do our own little gift exchange for each other.

    I'm with you on the scarf. I'd be upset he spent a lot of money, but still really happy and keep it, lol.

    I think the biggest stress will be avoiding all of the holiday food that's going to be so yummy but horrible for my diet, lol.

    I love that feeling too. I am always in a much better mood when the laundry is washed, folded, ironed and put away and there's nothing better than climbing into bed that has freshly washed sheets! : )

    [QUOTE]In Response to Re: Life Update : Ditto that. I've been home "sick" for the past two days.  <strong>I'm having quite possibly the worst period of my life</strong> (<strong>I've never taken off work or school for cramps before).</strong>  FI also took off yesterday, and annoyed me all day.  He just doesn't understand.

    I had this about a month or two ago. Hurt so bad I was crying while trying to drive to work. Lasted 5 mins, went home, took codine, it knocked me out to sleep but didn't do anything for the pain.

     

  • The scarf is great! I always love how the designer stores wrap their presents. I don't have anything from Burberry but I have a Coach purse that was wrapped similarly. What did you get for FI?

    yaga, that's awful! I hope you feel better soon. Do you have a heating pad you can put on your abdomen?
    And if the stormy weather came...I'd just kiss you in the rain... Daisypath Anniversary tickers image
