Random Tuesday musings..

More like whining really...

1.) I actually had a bit of time to blow out and straighten my hair today. And then my hair dryer broke. With Christmas coming up we're watching our spending. Meaning DH is having a cheapo panic attack. I thought about just asking for a hair dryer from my mom for Christmas, but I want to look good for holiday parties before then.

2.) As I was doing my make up, I noticed that the little "fuzzies" on my upper lip are turning black. BLACK. I guess my face wanted to take a part in Movember.

3.) DH's December work schedule = a lot of lonely time for me and DD. And a lot of driving to holiday parties alone. And chaotic. And stupid. 

4.) I'm such a sap that standard Christmas songs make me cry. 

5.) I'm having a hard time getting in the Christmas spirit. It's always been pretty hectic for me. I usually have about 6-8 Christmas parties to attend in a few days, and I just don't wanna do it alone. Again. Most of the presents I bought aren't even wrapped, and the ones that are aren't underneath the tree. I should be excited because it's Anna's first Christmas, but it's just so stressful! 

6.) I just stumbled upon Carter's cyber sale. Must. Not. Buy. Everything.

I know what you mean about having trouble getting into the holiday mood. I just can't seem to get excited about decorating the house or anything we have to do. The only thing I get excited over is thinking about how much fun DD will have Christmas morning. And buying her stuff too. But everything else just needs to take care of itself. I'm hoping the holiday mood shows up quick!!

I am in a Muslim country. There are no signs of Christmas anywhere. And it is unseasonably warm so.... I totally don't get that it is Christmas. Makes me sad. I LOVE Christmas.

My random Tues musing/ whine is that I don't like it when DH is sick.  I actually like taking care of him when he is trying to act tough, but the minute he starts acting a little whiny I want to scream BE A MAN!  Gosh, I am terrible.

It just seems as though the minute I start to not feel well he is sick too and then it becomes a competition with him.  I say "ugh I don't feel good" and instead of saying "aw sorry honey" he says "yeah neither do I."  

This was totally random but it has been on my mind since he came home saying he was sick.  I want to punch him.

That has to be rough. Will you guys do anything to celebrate while you're there?

Normally I love Christmas. And I'm loving going out everywhere and seeing everything decorated, I just have no motivation to get my own house decorated.

1) I love that other people love Random Musings... this is the first time I've seen anyone but me start them!

2) Other than some stocking stuffers and a couple of picture frames (that I still need to get), I did all of my Christmas shopping online. I really really online shopping. I'm not a big fan of in-store shopping. Cyber Monday baby!

3) I'm going to be flat broke after I get done at that pinkprincess.com website that fredpuma shared. LOVE. IT. ALL. Hubs is going to strangle me.

4) My co-worker keeps going on about ways that she thinks I can "make amends" with my in-laws. She's that MIL to her DIL, so she thinks my MIL couldn't be as bad as I've made her out to be. Plus, she's the "I just want everyone to get along" type. I could go on for days about all the "WTH?" moments I've had with this lady on this subject. Good intentions, bad execution lady.

5) Aria is REALLY in to giving kisses lately. I adore it, and I tear up with happy tears every night when she gives me a sleepy goodnight kiss as I lay her down. It's the sweetest thing in the history of sweet things.

6) I brought my lunch to work today... the mom-and-pop-shop down the street is making beef manhattans for lunch. I might be saving this lunch for tomorrow.

7) I'm a teensy bit glad that Tajikistan blocked FB, so Noryang might be spending a little more time here for a while. I don't get to "see" her much when she's only on fb, since I can't fb at work. EDIT***I am not actually happy for the situation in Tajikistan, I think it's sad and I'm praying for change... I'm just happy to see Nory back here.

8) I can't believe that I actually have to start putting real thought into Aria's first birthday party. Didn't I have half a year left just the other day?!

9) Things are not going well with moving my big dog back upstairs. He keeps knocking Aria over-- on purpose. He blocks her so that she can't crawl around, and he thinks she's a threat to me (read: starts to go into "guard dog" mode and I have to call him off) if she crawls toward me squealing (so all the time)... We might have to do this transition more gradually than originally planned.

10) We didn't put decorations on the Christmas tree this year, aside from the star on top... I actually REALLY like it.

ETA: Oh my word. It's Wednesday. These were from yesterday. Bumping fail.

So jealous that you get kisses!  Ava has been giving DH kisses for months now, she has given the grandma's kisses a few times and yesterday she even kissed our dog twice, but has yet to give me a single kiss, she will rarely even hug me now!
