I'm still blogging, sort of.

It has been a long time since I last posted.
I just haven't felt much like blogging or being on line in general.
I've been working extra days/hours and spend 99.5% of my time online, so when I'm home with free time the last thing I want to do is be on the computer.

I'm still not entirely settled in to the house.
I have a few more things to move, hang, find places for etc but for the most part Monty and I are enjoying ourselves and the space.
Monty is especially loving having a yard to spend time in despite the fact its not fenced in and he has to stay on a lead.

My Christmas day was nice, my mom went to the hospital the night before when chest/neck pains but was released Christmas day afternoon with all the tests they ran returning good news leaving them to believe it was stress.
However the fact that she was in the hospital and my parents living 30+ minutes away from the Air Force base, meant it was up to me to cook all the food and get everything ready.
We had a Mexican fiesta of vegetarian tacos with roasted potatoes, veggie grounds and lime/cilantro rice, healthy/homemade roasted corn/cream cheese jalapeno poppers and a few sides and desserts.
I got almost all the food done by the time my dad got back from picking my mom up and we were only a couple hours off what we had scheduled.

I got some super cute clothes, jewelry, a few items for the house, lots of coffee, a healthy dog treat cookbook, an amazing snood, candy, ornaments, a lunch tote and I can't remeber what else.
I think for the most part everyone liked the gifts I gave/made and Monty loved all the little toys and treats I found for him.
I didn't get any pictures because I was so busy and my mom didn't want any taken of her because she came straight from the hospital and didn't get the chance to get cleaned up, so I don't have any cute pictures to share.

My new years plans are up in the air right now but it doesn't matter much to me. I don't have a significant other to share the moment with so it makes no difference to me where I sit the moment the ball drops. Which also means I did not make my goal of getting a date before the new year. Perhaps I'll just reset the goal and hope to have at least one date by next new years, though with my track record that is near impossible too!!

I hope you all had a lovely holiday and have a wonderful new years!!

small update

I'm all moved in to the new house.
I haven't done much decorating yet because I'm a little nervous to use the power drill by myself but hopefully my dad will be able to help me this coming weekend!! I'll get some pictures to post then. Maybe that will get me back into blogging. I just haven't felt like being online much lately.

I joined Ravi and Stephanie's gym and have gone to a couple classes with her! Dance, dance and spinning...I loved both. Even though I felt silly during dance, dance it was a lot of fun and good new workout!! Spinning wasn't as scary/hard as I thought it was going to be and am excited to keep up with it!!

Friday my mom brought Monty down so that night I had Ravi, Stephanie and Sabin over for dinner and to hang out!! I was happy to have finally be able to have them over and host a dinner, I can't wait to do it again!!! Perhaps I'll have a little Christmas party!

Its been snowing all day today which means I have one happy pup!! Monty LOVES to play in/eat snow and I've had to drag him back inside when I get too cold. I think he would stay out for hours if I let him!
I on the other hand would much rather stay inside watching The Office or do a little Christmas shopping with Stephanie, which is how I spent my day.

I'm making everyone in my family gifts but decided to make my immediate family gifts as well as buy them something, which means I have to get a move on the gifts I'm making.
I have soo many started but only a few finished. I still have time though, I'll make it happen!!!

Is anybody all finished with their shopping/gift making?

q&a from Sam

I've never done a fill in the blanks/q&a thing on here, but the wonderful Sam tagged me and I have nothing to do at work...so here it goes!!

Why did you create your blog?
I had one on livejournal but was over and it so I moved to blogger!
What kind of blogs do you follow?
All kinds-fashion, lifestyle, food, health/fitness, photography
Favourite make-up brand?
I use a bunch of different brands but I would have to say I've always been happy with the Sephora brand stuff I've bought, though I do like Mac foundations-I just can't afford them.
Favourite clothing brand?
Most of my stuff is from F21 or BP from Nordstrom but mainly I buy what I like whether it be from F21, Kohls, Target, Macys...
Your indespensable make-up product?
Foundation. I wish I had perfect skin but I do not.
Your favourite colour?
Green...all different shades. Kelly, mint and pea green are probably my favorite shades.
Your perfume?
I LOVE Allure by Chanel but only in the hair perfume which they don't make anymore....so I guess now it would be Chance by Chanel, Sula Champagne Sugar or this cheapo stuff they sell at Charlotte Russe.

Your favourite film?
I have a few but I'll just stick with Breakfast At Tiffany's.

What country would you like to visit and why?
There are soo many! I work at a travel agency so I see amazing places everyday in brochures and emails, but definitely Croatia, Morocco, Turkey, Italy, South Africa, Baku, New Zealand and Iceland because they all look beautiful and have history to them. And Japan because I would like to see where I was born and spent the beginning of my childhood.
(Kate's addition) Prefer lying down or being on top?
I'm with Sam...no answer!
Write the last question and answer it yourself:

If you could eat any animal in the world, what would it be?
Silly Sam!! I guess if Sam finds a T-Rex to eat I would maybe have a little taste, probably not though!

How do you take your coffee or tea?
I take my coffee a few different ways-if using a flavored creamer or just that, no sugar. If plain creamer then I add a little sugar or sugar free syrup and no sugar. I take my tea plain or with a bit of honey.
