Gus & Relaxation

     I feel so relaxed! Sitting in bed blogging after a nice hot shower, putting on my Minnie Mouse jammies, and drinking the holiday classic tradition in this house, sparkling cranberry juice. Thank you Welchs, you're a genius and complete my jolly Christmas mood. That was not the case today however. First of all I was supposed to work for the second day in a row and I got sent home because they didn't have anything for me to do and that irritated me because I NEED A SCHEDULE!! Come on now. I need money, this whole only two days a week is seriously barely enough to give me gas money. Secondly I went to the Dollar General to get some stocking stuffers. Yeah, they had absolutely nothing to get for people. Or maybe I'm just older and pickier but I mean really. Get some cool stuff that parents would love too. It don't all have to be plastic junk. And thirdly people on the road are really rude. 

 
     After I finished my shopping extravaganza I headed home and I was okay, relaxed. I am working on a new stocking because my other one which is still cute but it's a little babyish. My new pattern is completely genius. We all know.. well actually I'm not sure that you do or not but I love and I'm talking love owls and mustaches. So it would make sense to do nothing but make an owl stocking!! Ehmm. Check it out. The upclose of the owl is just to show you (though I'm not sure you can see it, sorry it's out of focus) the painstaking stitching that I did around every owl. Yes, it did take forever. But who has a more awesome stocking? Nobody champ. That's who. *I can do a tutorial on the next blog if you'd like.*
     I know what you're probably thinking.. Gus? Yes! Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. I have FOUND the perfect name for my little beta fish. Gus it is. My inspiration you may ask? Well, as usual I was extremely hyper and I was thinking of Cinderella and I thought Gus, he was such a good guy and it's really a respectable name. So after a long discussion with Kolton (Who might I add preferred the name Tony) we agreed to that name since we are his parents! Proud ones too. He's just so adorable. He doesn't eat very much though and sometimes I think he doesn't like me because I don't feed him enough but that's because I put it in there and he lets it sink! But anyways. He's still a healthy little guy. 
    Brownie Pound Cake= Delicious. I felt festive 'cause who doesn't get tired of box cake? I will do a separate post on the recipe I used and how I modified it. Because BAM. It's tasty. And I made it all from scratch. I am on a conquest to start really cooking and not just getting everything out of the box. I'm sure my future husband will appreciate that. (:  I would also like to say that I'm pretty dadgum excited that 25 days of Christmas is about to start on ABCFamily! It's got to be one of my all time favorite countdowns. I got a candle for my birthday *sugar cookies I believe* my room smells heavenly. It's like a bakery in my room mhmm mhmm mhmm. 
     Okay I'm going to bed-but I'll be back soon! Don't get crazy.
