Hump Day

Hump day..

The day you realize you still have 2 more work days to go. 

Blah. For me, I had a hard time waking up today.

I wanted to stay in my warm comfy bed and not do anything.

But I dragged my lazy butt out of bed, and got dressed(which was not pretty by the way, I have no idea what I was thinking). lol

Went to my place of employment at the internship. 

How I got through my Hump Day:

My manager told me "She appreciates everything I do."

Fiance took me out for lunch! :)

Came home to a home cooked dinner as well, how freaking lucky am I?!?!

This wasn't my dinner, I promise.

I made this homemade Keeblers pumpkin pie the night before and was looking forward to coming home to it all day. :)

This recipe was real simple and easy to follow and took me about 15 minutes to make.

The fiance loves it, there's only one piece left. lol. He says I need to make another one.

It's actually a double layer pumpkin pie too.

I wanted to get a photo of the inside of the pumpkin pie but couldn't because it's practically gone.

I relaxed by the tv.

Fiance and I went to Big Lots over the weekend for random things, but wanted to share these two items. 

I finally put them away today. 

Put a smile on my face knowing I will be decorating our Christmas tree a few days away.

We have a white Christmas tree and I add red ornaments. 

I decided to pick up this silver glitter garland to change it up a bit. $2.50!

\

How cute is this?!?!

Cast Iron Skillet with a chocolate chip cookie mix to put in it.

Fiance loves it because of the skillet, and has intentions of making his famous pancakes in it.

$5.00

I'd like to tell you the story behind this, but it's just too ridiculous to tell you.

I came home to a brand new Keurig though.

I don't even drink coffee, but Fiance wanted it, so here it is. lol.

I am kind of excited for it, I want to try making ice tea and hot chocolate in it.

Tomorrow we're going to Wal-Mart to pick up hot chocolate mixes to try it out.

Does anyone have a Keurig, if so, what do you drink it besides coffee?

*Big Forever 21 Haul*

How was everyone's weekend?

Sunday was so beautiful out the fiance and I decided to take a long drive with the windows open. 

It was so nice and relaxing.

Guess what I just realized? 

I have 7 days(including today) of classes left before graduation!

Eekk! :D

Anyway, I have a big Forever 21 Haul for you today. 

Things I purchased at Atlantic City and the Philadelphia Premium Outlets. 

I love this cardigan. It is something I've been looking for. I love the elbow patches! 

One day I want to have little heart elbow patches, I think that is so adorable!

This isn't as long as it's pictures. I have a long torso, so this fits me perfectly. 

I love the red glitter stripes to it.

 Cute button detail.

I think this baggy sweater top would look cute tucked into a pencil skirt.

Another stripped top. 

I know what you're thinking.

But I saw this online before I went to the store, and I wanted it!

I own nothing creme with black stripes! 

This top is so pretty, and I can see myself wearing it with skinnies and cognac boots. 

It has a gold shimmer going throughout the sweater. So pretty.

Another stripped top. lol.

Love this blazer. I love the details of it.

Polka dots! And did you know that Forever 21 sells bras that are like the Victoria Secret bomb shell bra?!

 

I own any leopard in shirt form, I never got into the whole animal print trend.

But this I love. It fits me and can be worn in a lot of ways!

Surprisingly I didn't find any accessories I liked. Mostly because I found a lot on Ebay that I like, that was actually a lot cheaper than Forever, is that possible, yes it is!

Is anyone decorating for Christmas yet?!

I know I am waiting until after Thanksgiving break to decorate my apartment, but my fiance's brother already decorated and so is my parents. Insane right?

11 Things About Me:

1. In about a month I will officially be graduated from college with a bachelors in Accounting & Business. 

2. I love Christmas. I love everything about Christmas, mostly being around friends and family. 

3. I love pink. 

4. I fear presentations. Not like jittery fear, like I legitimately fear presentations. I fear speaking in class. Why? I have no idea. I dropped every course I had to do a presentation for. It's a weird anxiety I have, and I'm finally facing it this semester. First semester ever doing presentations!

5. I love taking pictures. I love catching rare moments, and even though I can't go back to those rare moments, I can look at them through pictures. 

6. I love to blog. I have been blogging since 2009. I get into rare phases of random hobbies, but this is something I've been doing for 3 years now. I've met some amazing people, and it wouldn't of been possible if I didn't blog.

7. Shopping, I'm addicted. I can't stop, when I am happy, when I am sad, when I am bored. I'll find any reason to shop.

8. I love scary movies. I don't like girly movies that make you cry, I don't like girly books. I like to watch scary movies. It's my thing.

9. I'm learning more and more how to cook. It was my New Years resolution and I think I accomplished it very well.

10. I did the workout Insanity, twice. I loved it. I love working out, I just wish I had more time. 

11. Pinterest, I'm on there like 5 times a day. lol. It's so bad.

11  Liebster questions from Lauren:

1. is your current job what you imagined you would be doing at this age? I thought at my age I would be doing cosmetology, and working at a salon. This was my original pursuit in life. I ended up going to college instead for Accounting. Right now I am at a internship doing accounting for a BIG school district. I am SO happy doing what I am doing now, but unfortunately it's only an internship, and I need to look for another position, but I am so happy with the career path I chose. :) 

2. choose one and why: winter, spring, summer, fall. Summer! I love everything about summer. I love how long it stays light out for, I love that I get to wear cute dresses and short shorts and flip flops and tank tops, I could go on. lol. 

3. what do you do on Christmas Eve? Christmas Eve I go to church with my family and aunt. I eat dinner with my family and go over to my fiance's house to open up Christmas presents. :)

This is a picture from last year. I always buy my fiance one small gift, even if it's a stupid air freshener. It gets him really excited for Christmas day when he opens up his other Christmas gifts. And that's his mom, really excited for the air freshener lol.

4. What is the most expensive thing you've ever purchased for yourself? Recently? Most recent expensive purchase has to be my Bebe purse and that was $98. I'm a poor college student, so yes, that is how expensive it's going to get. lol 

5. When you go on vacation, how far in advance do you pack and do you find you bring more than you need? I always bring more than I need. But it gives me options. And I always seem to pack the night before or two nights before. That's as early as it's getting. lol 

6. When do you go grocery shopping? My fiance and I usually do one BIG grocery trip once a month. Otherwise after I get outta work or class I pick up things from the store, and he randomly picks up things when we need it. 

7.  If you were going to bring dessert to a party, what would it be? Cupcake or cookies. Duh. lol 

8. How long is your commute to your job? About 10 minutes. I'm lucky, all my jobs I've had (the two total) I've always had less than 20 minute commute. 

9. What is your BIGGEST pet peeve? People who talk to much and people who are lazy. Can't stand it! 10. 

10. Do you consider yourself having a "green thumb" ? Haha NOPE! My mom has a huge green thumb and I just don't like it. The only time you'll catch me doing yard work is at the community service I do every year for Sisters of Mercy. It's A LOT of fun with friends. :) (Me in the middle and my two best friends beside me.)

11. What is your go-to meal when you don't know what to eat? Hmmm, I always snack. I snack on random things. I couldn't tell you really. I normally eat sandwiches when all else fails though.

I choose anyone! Even if you already did it, answer these 11 random questions:
1.)How many hours of sleep do you normally get?
2.)Post your favorite dessert recipe.
3.)Do you instagram, pinterest, facebook?
4.)What is your favorite nail polish?
5.)What kind of self tanner do you use, if any?
6.)What is your go to outfit?
7.)Do you wear glasses?
8.)Did you go to college, and if so, for what?
9.)Do you like water?
10.)Do you have kids and if so how many and if you don't, do you want kids?
11.) Do you like the iPhone 5?
 

Anyway, I hope everyone had a nice Saturday. I started mine out with some shopping, dyed my hair (take photos tomorrow), made dinner and watched some movies. Tomorrow is suppose to be beautiful out, so I'm thinking of taking a nice long walk in some flip flops. :) Which reminds me I need to paint my toenails.
