So, the school semester has wrapped itself up nicely, unlike the many Xmas gifts in my closet which are not wrapped at all. Honestly, I am so bad a wrapping things, I will probably just pay my 11-year-old brother to do it. And when it comes to wrapping his own gift, I’ll hold the blindfold. Or there’s gift bags. But those are so BORING.
I forget how many days off from school I have, but I know it’s enough to at least give this blog some much-needed attention. I’m thinking a cosmetic overhaul and some new blogging ideas for 2012. No idea what either of these will look like but it’s nice to have plans.
Christmastime is here. We had a party at my house, I’ve baked cookies, helped decorate a gingerbread house, designed a tacky holiday themed bulltin board, and shopped. I think I did good with presents this year.
On a fashionable note, I have been very happy to see that sequins are trending EVERYWHERE right now. Every clothing store has something sparkly in it’s window display. Like this shiny number from Banana:
Much like raccoons, I secretly love sparkly things, so it kind of fun to see them everywhere.
Unfortunately, most of the people on my shopping list are teenage boys (brothers) who have nothing in common with raccoons so I am left hunting around vintage/thrift stores, perusing record shops, and combing through the sale racks at H&M. My love for this last store is at an all time high right now. They have good stuff for men and women and children. The sale stuff can be unbelievably discounted too; I got a hat for a new baby in out family for ONE dollar.
This post was supposed to be about a really good movie I watched recently.
