The two-hundred-and-sixty-sixth day to two-hundred-and-seventieth days combined...Hello Winter, Hello Snow!

Hello everyone :) I hope you all had lovely, non-stressful weekends. My weekend was full of planning shopping routes (Friday) , shopping (Saturday), and then staying home and off the snow and slush filled roads (Sunday).

I stuck to my plan, and am only one gift away from being done with my Christmas shopping - I just have to get a treat for my doggie (he loves Christmas too :)

We headed out early on Saturday to try an avoid the snow. It started coming down very lightly when we were leaving Kohls; but it wasn't until we were leaving the mall at about 5:30 or so that things got bad. One would think that people had never seen snow before by the way people were driving. Thank goodness for hot chocolate and Netflix, because that's how I spent the rest of my night.

How did the weekend treat all of you?

P's holiday gifts for me (she had quite the Hello Kitty theme going with the ornament, Pez, and socks)

Have a great day everyone!

The two-hundred-and-thirty-first through two-hundred-and-thirty-fourth days...

How's everyone doing? I have been so busy these last few days. School, work, dealing with my new customer service friends. Seriously, I've spoken with so many people that I know some of the reps entirely too well.

I am so tired of dealing with people, that I am simply not ready to deal with work tomorrow. I can't believe that the weekend flew by so quickly. My man and I did get to see 2012 though, so that was great. It was completely implausible and over-the-top, but the special effects were wonderful and I really enjoyed it. Since it was so effects driven, it's definitely a movie theater/big screen film.

I'm trying to think of birthday gifts for my man - his b-day is at the end of the month. I was initially thinking of doing something touristy in the city like a harbor cruise, a tour, a show, or going somewhere like Top of the Rock...

...but I'm thinking of taking him out for something a little closer to home. I don't know. I've spent so much time thinking about what to get him for Christmas that I'm a bit at a loss for his birthday.

Oh, before I forget: The poll has closed. So, what was your favorite TV show from the old ABC TGIF lineups? The majority of the votes went to Boy Meets World, with Step by Step, Family Matters, and Full House in a triple tie for second place :)

Anyway, again, how have all of you been? Anything interesting happen this weekend?

Have a wonderful rest of the night!

Any other Tim Burton and Edward Gorey fans out there?

Back in college, one of my friends gave me the Tim Burton book The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy: and Other Stories for my birthday. It was weird, creepy and slightly disturbing; and I instantly fell in love with it. I'm a huge Tim Burton fan :)

Well, I was doing some cleaning earlier today, and when I ran across the book I knew that I had to try and find it online. So, enjoy all you Tim Burton story fans out there :)

The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy: and Other Stories

After finding that, I decided to track down the Gashlycrumb Tinies alphabet (by Edward Gorey). It's pretty Tim Burton-esque in it's own right (or would Burton be considered Gorey-esque?). Anyway, enjoy :)

Good night all :)
