Spoiling My Geek of a Boyfriend

You know the one tech savvy guy? Yeah, that one who is in college for computer engineering? That geeky guy that loves zombies? That guy is my boyfriend. I'm going to share with you what I got him for Christmas. My blog is a secret to him. Don't go off telling him that I posted this here! It's not like you know him though...Anyways, these are a few of the things I got for him online.

Aubrey Elizabeth Apothecary

This is zombie soap!! It smells like twizzlers. I could smell it through the box that it was shipped in. This shop has all kinds of cute soaps. The food ones are really, really neat and realistic. 

Rock Candy Vintage

 Of course this keychain will have the initials C + F.(= This shop has a lot of really cool carved wood gifts in it. I really enjoyed coming across this shop!

And one day I had my parents pick up a Bear's jersey for him, but it's an extra large. I think it might be a little big on him. Ha. But he's tall, so maybe it will work out? 

I was also considering getting him a pillow pet because that is what he got for me for my birthday this year, and I absolutely love the thing! And not because it is a giraffe. It's super soft. It always makes me think of him, and I cuddle up with it every night. But now I just need to decided which one I want to get him. And I also need to decide if I am getting gifts for his family. Bleh! I'm broke right now and I need to pay for my cap and gown and graduation stuff and I owe my parents for buying that jersey for him. What to do? What to do?

Busy busy!

Christmas Shopping!

60's Drop Waist Dress: Height of Vintage

Velvet heels: DSW

Belt: Goodwill

Hat: Antique store

Clutch: Hollywood Mirror (Chicago)

Necklace: Customer from work (=

Yesterday I purchased my first Christmas gift of the year! Actually, my parents picked it up for me and I still have to pay them back for it. (Oops!) I got my boyfriend a Bear's jersey! He doesn't own one and I find that sad. We can wear matching Urlacher jerseys on Sundays now...except mine is pink! Today I hopped on Etsy and bought the few things I had favorited for him also. Those items would be zombie soap and a carved keychain. Just some small cute items. I don't think I'm done with my Christmas shopping for him yet. I think I might get gifts for his family too. I get along with his sisters really, really well.

I can't wait for the snow! It's supposed to snow some this week.(=

Hope everyone is having a blast with Christmas shopping! Remember that it's okay to buy yourself a Christmas gift too!(;

Thanksgiving Was A Blowout. . .No Seriously

Blahhh! Where to start? Where to start? Yesterday had a terrible start. I got up and made the brownies like I promised. I left the house to meet my boyfriend halfway to his dad's house. I was almost there...maybe 15 minutes away when my tire blew. Whoosh. There went all the air. This tire had a slow leak for a while and I knew that it was in need of air again, but getting air yesterday would have been out of my way. I knew I needed new tires, but I was waiting until the town decided to fix all the streets they had torn up! So I had to call my boyfriend and have him pick me up. He just thought that he'd put my spare on and we can take it the rest of the 15 minutes I needed to go. But of course this proved to be much more difficult than what it seemed. You see, the thing that holds your spare tire down in your trunk was completely rusted in my car. My trunk had apparently been leaking. And then I found out that the lug nuts on my car are two completely different sizes! Blehh. So we found a field and parked my car there. We were starving. We ate and then Calvin grabbed his cousin and left me at his dad's his with a bunch of But really that didn't turn out badly. I got to bond some more with his sister who is also a senior in high school. After what seemed like a long time I decided to shoot Calvin a text to ask how everything was going. His response..."Do you have your keys?" They had forgotten the keys at the house. Oh jeez. They had to come all the way back to get my keys! Poor Calvin was already exhausted. He grabbed some brownies on the way out to give him a little boost.(= Time passes...Calvin's step sister paints my nails. I play with a six year old for what seems like forever and Calvin finally came back. Ugh. What a terrible day. He ended up following me all the way home. My boyfriend lives an hour away. He drove over 200 miles yesterday because of that dang tire! I'm definitely thankful for having someone like him in my life.But this couldn't have happened on a worse day. Black Friday is like a freaking holiday now. All the tire places in town were closed today. So I have to try again tomorrow.

Here's my rude customer of the day. This old man ordered a cheeseburger club with fries. I take it out to him, set the ketchup down, ask if he needs anything else. He says no. Like 5 minutes later I'm taking coffee around my section and he is fully on waving his arms around in the air. So I walk over to him and ask him what he needs. He complained about how he was trying to get my attention for mustard, but he already had some on the table so I don't know what happened there. But then he picks up the little paper cup that the cooks put in the middle of the plates of the club sandwiches, and he throws it down on the table and says quite rudely, "I'd appreciate it if I coould get some cole slaw!" Okay, that was pretty rude. The entire room got quiet. I went back to the kitchen. Of course we're all out. So I go back and tell this guy that there's no cole slaw and he proceeds to ask if he can replace it with anything. This little paper cup of cole slaw is a spoonful. I tell him no. All of my other customers were whispering to me about how rude he was and how they almost said something to him because they thought it was that bad. This old man has given one of my coworkers a hard time before too. It's to the point where I'm not going to be nice to this guy next time he decides to freak out on me for something that is out of my control. Naturally, he told the hostess that his sandwich and coffee were good...but that's it. UGHHH! I rarely get people like this, but when I do it is the biggest damper on my day and my mood.

Hope you had a better Thanksgiving and Black Friday than I did!

Cold & What to Wear to Thanksgiving?

Not only is it cold outside, but I caught a cold while in Chicago. Something is telling me that it was the the walking around outside in the cold and going into warm shops and back into the cold and back into shops, etc. This really, really stinks. =/

I haven't posted any photo posts lately for two reasons. One of them being that I have been waking up late for school so I just throw on jeans and a hoodie. (Which I will definitely be doing this week because I feel like total crud!) And the other is that I don't have time to take pictures! By the time I get home from work it is dark and I am super tired. But I will try to get on taking some photos soon. Promise.

Now on to Thanksgiving! This Thanksgiving I'll be going to my boyfriend's dad's house to celebrate with them. I'm not quite sure which dress I want to wear. Maybe my green drop waist dress? Or maybe my black velvet dress? Or maybe something new and not old? Anyway, I'll be making pumpkin brownies for the occasion and my boyfriend is SO excited. He just got a whole batch of them a few weeks ago and they were gone within 3 days. I'm a pretty dang good baker. I was actually considering making a new tab on my blog just for recipes! Hmmm...maybe.

Gobble Gobble,
