Thursday's Random Thoughts

  • It is way, way too cold here. I forgot how much winter and I do not get along. The static hair, dry skin, runny nose. I'm not a huge fan.
  • Thank goodness for these things in my life. Without them, I would not be the same.
restoration hardware throw. lollia handcreme. UGG boots
  • While I'm on the subject of the cold, I'm already scared to see our first heating bill in the new house. We are spoiled right now that our heat is included in our rent. Oil heat in an older home...I think we're in for a rude awakening. I hope we don't end up like this!

  • We tried to shop for some furniture this week. Normally, I would think this would be fun, however, I really can't stand the sales people that follow you around like stalkers. I know it's their job but seriously, just let me be. I need time to look and space to breathe. {We still have not made any purchases!}
  • On to some more happier thoughts, I get to see my family this weekend! We are headed to the lovely state of New Jersey to celebrate Christmas with my mom's family! Yay for Christmas festivities, yummy food, and family. I haven't seen them since August and that is far too long.
  • Christmas is only NINE days away. Seriously cannot believe it. J's stocking is stuffed and Lilly's is too!
{not our actual stockings}
  • I LOVE my husband for handling the transferring of the utilities to the new address. You rock, babe.
  • I realized today that I should have shared this on my O Christmas Tree post. My sister-in-law's tree, complete with my cute, curly haired little nephew underneath. I love it!
  •  I'll just let this photo speak for itself!

  •  It's almost the weekend and I have five glorious days off. Hallelujah!

    I can't wait to see what your new house looks like... I'm a little obsessed with old houses in the northeast!! You are so lucky!!

    Have an awesome long weekend!!

    Joanna said...

    So exciting! have a great time with the fam in NJ :)

    Faith said...

    sooo lucky that you have 5 days off! but you deserve it so i promise not to be jealous!

    i am hoping for some new Uggs this Christmas! hehe.

    your SILs tree is so freaking cute! i love it!

    i can't believe Christmas is 9 days away! so crazy!!!

    and i agree 100% about sales people at furniture stores. it is so hard to be polite when you want to say, "get away from me, i'll ask for your help when i need it!"

    ohmygoodness...the uggs are totally necessary today in RI. I feel your painnnnn. Yay for family--have so so much fun with them...there really is nothing better!

    and as for the heating bill? I say that comic depicts a pretty fun night ;)

    much love, {av}

    Love that I found your blog today (through Jillian). I'm with vintch, definitely a new follower!

    UGH boots... I've still never worn a pair, can you believe it?! I bet they are amazing though.

    5 days off, heck yes! That's one thing I love about being a nurse--clumping shifts together and getting stretches like that off with out having to take 'time off'... well, I'm not working as a nurse yet, but hopefully soon! And then I'll enjoy the days off (:

    Love that last pic! Cute little snowman!
    I can't believe it's 9 days till Christmas either! Haven't really felt in the Christmas spirit though. I kind of just feel it's a day where presents are exchanged. Hopefully that feeling will change as the day gets closer.

    yay for 5 days off!!!! :)

    I was so against uggs when they first came out because EVERYONE and their mother had them. Then I moved to NYC where I had to trudge to class in blizzards and knee high snow drifts..and they became my best friend hahah
