Almost that Time...

It's almost Christmas!! Which means 2009 is almost over, yay!!! I've been promised a great year for 2010, so I'm very excited. We went shopping on Saturday for Christmas in Anderson, SC. Boy, was everyone out, as I should've expected. It definitely worked my patience...or the lack of, lol. But I did get all my shopping completed, except for two gifts that I can't get till later this week. But I concluded that when its time to Christmas shop, Christmas is really for Caitlyn, so Shawn and I can get each other things we need, but waiting till Christmas day to posess them is really not necessary. So he bought me a pretty ring, a nice red p-coat(sp?), and...something that he has hidden and won't give me until Christmas. That's okay, I have 3 things I've hidden from him. I'll be making that 4 things as of tomorrow. Hahahaha!!! Of course he's asked for more money; says he has something else in mind for me. Oh well...

I got some really pretty jewelry from Nikki for Christmas. I posted the pic on my facebook. She got me 3 really nice necklaces with matching earrings. They're so pretty!! I love me some jewelry. Then I got to work and one of my coworkers got me a gift...more jewelry. So I am totally stocked for a while; doesn't mean I won't go out for a spree anytime soon. Girls gotta sparkle, lol

Fun Venting Session

So why is that people say they like "real" people (vs. fake) who tell ya the way it is, but then when you say it the way it is, they get offended. I'm totally not talking about any recent experiences with anyone, I was just thinking about this for some retarded reason today, cause it happens, whether its in church or with friends or family, or whomever. And I like to think that I've become more real here in this last year; I will tell you straight up what I think about something, sometimes not realizing that feelings can get hurt. But I've also come to a better grasp of not caring what people think about me. I guess there's a fine line there; you need to care to some certain extent, but sometimes I could care less.

But I think its so retarded how we have to watch what we say or how we feel about stuff because someone might get offended. Like, get a life, grow up!! LOL, sorry, I'm just..."being real" lol

I guess I just don't understand why we can't just all be honest, real folk and live a fun life, lol, haha, dream thinkin, huh? I'm in a very sarcastic mood today, lol...and very bored right now. Ready to go home and see my babies. Time I'm wasting here, although making money, I could totally be spending with my family. What a waste of precious time...

Caitlyn's Room Done

Caitlyn's room is finished. I wish I'd of taken a BEFORE pic, cause it looks like a totally different room. We've still got
some modern shadow type boxes to put above her bed. The walls are a pretty lavender, but I don't think you can tell in the pic. This is also serving as a guest room since we converted the guest room into a playroom.

Painting Caitlyn's Room

I’ve got paint all over my hands. Doesn’t really go with my dressy work outfit, lol. I’m working on Caitlyn’s room. We bought lavender paint for her walls. We painted her headboard on her bed white, cause it was a really bold red color. Then we bought a purple comforter, 2-shaded, with zebra print sheets and curtains. So far, the room is looking super cute. I just can’t wait to put everything together. I’ve gotten halfway through the wall painting. Hope to finish up tonight or tomorrow night.

I know its totally not a little girls looking room, which I shall soon get criticized for I’m sure, lol, but I found this totally cute Dora comforter but they didn’t have it in full, only twin size, as most kid comforters are. But the ones I found that were available in full size were either ugly or God-awful expensive. I shopped on Friday and all day Saturday only to come out very frustrated, cause I had literally gone to every store that sells bedding and found nothing. So I had to go to Ross and put something together, and that’s what I came up with. So I can’t wait till its all put together. Will post pics soon.
