my christmas wish list….

As much as I love Christmas, I kind of hate getting all the stuff! I love making and giving the presents, but I dunno. I always ask for grocery gift certificates or things that I can use like that, but it never seems to work out. So this year I’m hoping that some of my family sees this and passes along the message. I’ve been dying to have game nights of sorts at my place, unfortunately I lack the games! So for most of my presents I’m hoping for board games. I would LOVE to have Blokus Classic and Apples to Apples. I’m not picky though, I’ll play hand me down versions of Connect Four and Sorry just as much as anything else! Other favorites: Pictionary, Trivial Pursuit, Jenga, Stratego….

The only other thing I really want for Christmas is a Dremel, but I’m pretty sure my dad’s getting me that. Then I can make so much jewelry!!!

Aaaaannnd, maybe just these boots. I mean, they’re not the gorgeous Frye boots that I want, but they also cost about $350 less.

just a little wish

Scanning style blogs as much as I have recently has been dangerous for my wish list of shoes. I have a picture of these in my file already, but I forgot about them and how beautiful they are. The cheapest I found them was for $160 though, and I could/would never spend that much on any one item of clothing.

shoe dreams….

So, even though I’m beyond broke, I of course still dream of owning more shoes. I found these little lovelies on target’s website, and fell immediately in love. And today I went to go order them, and SCORE, they are $5 cheaper now! Now only $19! They come in purple and a slate gray, go get yourself some. Now I just need to invest in some cute knee socks….

On other fronts of my life, the store’s opening got pushed back to October 30th. Bummer. Oh well, hopefully lots of people will come shop and eat some food before they go out for the evening. We’ll be open from 11am to the party, and the party will go from 6pm-11pm. We may even have local news coverage that night thanks to an old friend who works for WCPO. Thanks Megan!!!
