Happy Birthday to... you!

LaVaughn's (#@) birthday was today. And like every other year, we spent the majority of our time at home. We did venture out a little while ago so that she could spend her birthday money. She didn't get anything from me except a card. That's my own fault, though, I gave all of her gifts to her last week and earlier this week. Remember the panini press and eye shadow? Well I also got her a pair of shoes that she accidentally opened. At least she was surprised!

My aunt made her cake and decorated it. I cooked her what I hope is one of her favorite meals, fry bread taco style. It was pretty awesome, if I do say so myself.

Like I said, we went to town a little while ago where she picked up some things for herself -- I picked up a few things for myself as well. ;) We also did a small amount of Christmas Shopping while we were there (we picked up 2 things) and also grabbed some fleece. I'm actually taking a break from cutting the fleece. I'm doing an 8 piece set, I think it'll be adorable!

I'm in a fairly good mood right now, which is polar opposite of how I was earlier. My aunt's dog, Max, DESTROYED 15 of 20 flat rate packages that were just dropped off today. It doesn't get much worse than that, right? WRONG! Omg, that stupid, moronic dog also got the TWO things that I've wanted more than anything in the longest time... The Walking Dead comics that I just ordered. While they're not destroyed, they're in pretty bad shape and I'm completely pissed off.

I'm planing on selling them and hopefully buying some new ones.

Well now I'm in a pissed off mood again. I really need to get back to cutting. I want to make sure it's done tonight so that I can sew it tomorrow. But for now I need coffee... Oh, and to finish cutting.

Love & Peace

Pictures from today:

LaVaughn's gorgeous cherry chip cake.

Some random landscape pictures of the yard:

Me and the cats:

Yes, Bart was lying on my back... sleeping.

Jasper was in front of me... rolling.

Lighting up the cake:

So pretty!

Here's the owl fleece we got today.

Here are The Walking Dead comics that I got today:

Look at that.

Destroyed!

Ugh.

Pip enjoying some mealies. He gets, on average, 10-15 mealies a day to help him put on weight.

Plus he's on antibiotics. This is also a cute picture of Sadie.

I love this hate, I hate that I didn't buy it. This picture also made me realize I needed something for dark circles. I have them and they're terrible.

Here are my new items. Dark circle eraser and some new Baby Lips!

Eve was weak...

There, I said it... I'm WEAK! Over the past week, I've submitted a couple different orders to Walmart.com -- a select few items are being shipped to the house, some was site to store and the rest were pick up today. Well today was the day that the majority of everything was ready, including LaVaughn's birthday presents.

Since there was nothing to do outside due to the rain, LaVaughn and I went to town to ship of 4, yes 4 cage sets, grab a few household cleaning supplies (Febreze, plugins, etc), cat food and our Walmart items. Surprisingly, picking up the stuff was fairly easy, just kind of drawn out due to the multitude of items, but not too bad. It took longer to get away from the loon in the cat food isle. She was nice and all -- I swear I'm not trying to be mean -- but damn, she would not relent on making conversation!

After we got done at Walmart, we made two more stops (one being Sonic) before we headed home.

I couldn't resist giving LaVaughn her birthday gifts. We were having ham and cheese for dinner and what better way to prepare them than on a panini press! There's honestly no way I could have kept them from her for an entire week. I'll take her to the movie and buy her dinner on her birthday to make up for it.

She loved the panini press and the makeup very much, in case you were wondering.

After we swallowed our food, we cleaned the house like crazy! Well, she deep cleaned the bathroom, I vacuumed every room in the house, cleaned the rat cage, and swept the glider room. I also washed pouches and started glider dinner, which LaVaughn finished while I showered -- I dyed my hair brown again, no more dingy copper red! Woohoo!

The zebra set we sewed yesterday did not sell well at all! It's the color combo, I'm telling you. I posted it everywhere and only got a few likes. I ended up lowering the price to $30 just a little bit ago and it sold in 5 minutes. I'm SO thankful! <3 p="">
I'm going to close with one of the most exciting things that we picked up at the store today -- The Walking Dead Monopoly!!! OMG, it's SO awesome! We're actually getting ready to play right now! So, I guess I should go then, right?

Love & Peace

The few pics I took today:

The Walking Dead Monopoly Survival Edition!

Oh how I love it so!

The Nudes by Maybelline -- gotta love Maybelline eye shadow.

And lastly, her panini press by Hamilton Beach. It's awesome and makes killers sandwiches!
