Christmas Wish List

Thanksgiving eve. I should have probably typed a post about what I’m thankful for…but that’s not gonna happen. Instead, you get a list of everything I’d like for Christmas. Add me to your shopping list and buy me one of these things. Please :]

1. Sunglasses: Trudies from Von Zipper. Like 4 years ago I discovered these sunglasses and fell in love with the shape, size, tint, everything. I think I’ve gone through 5 pairs in the last 4 years…and it’s time for another. I haven’t lost the ones I own, but they’re crazy scratched.

2. Onesie: Dark pink from Onepiece. I saw this on Pinterest like 3 years ago and have been obsessed with the company ever since. I think they were more expensive when I first looked at them 3 years ago…but even now, they’re still pretty pricy. They’re super cute and look super comfy! I want one.

3. Phone: White & silver iPhone 5s from Apple. My phone screen shattered like a month ago and it sucks looking at it. It’s time for a new one. And of course I’m team Apple iPhone because it’s compatible with my Mac. Get me one. Please.

4. Gift Card: Money for Target. So I can buy everything my heart desires but doesn’t need.

5. Purse: Balenciaga Giant 12 Silver Mini City Black/Black. These Balenciaga bags were a celebrity trend like a year and a half ago. I’ve been obsessed ever since…but they’re way out of my price range. If you’re got $1,500 to spare and are feeling kind, I’d like this bag. Thanks!

6. Gossip Girl DVD’s: Season 5 & 6. I never finished watching the series. The furthest I got in the series was where they went to college. I’m due for a marathon, I’ve got seasons 1-4 but don’t want to start it until I have all the seasons so I don’t get cut off. I want the actual DVD’s instead of just watching online because it really is/was one of my favorite tv shows.

7. Necklace: Sugar skull necklace from Torch Song Metals. They’re a jeweler that I randomly found on instagram and have 2 necklaces from already. Check them out, they have some cute stuff! While you’re at it…buy me that necklace and some midi rings from their shop!

8. Concert Tickets: Stagecoach tickets to be more exact. It’s a country music festival that I’ve never been to and am dying to go to next year. Everyone [except for Dierks and Lady A] is going to be there. And I can’t miss it. I need a pass.

9. Water Bottle: Flavor infuser from Uncommon Goods. I love their site. It’s got such interesting things on there. I actually have a few of their ticket books to keep all of my ball game/concert tickets organized. A friend posted the link to the water bottle on my FB. Over the summer I drink cups of water at work and drop in fruit like strawberries, mango, and watermelon into my water because…I don’t like water. It gives it some flavor and makes it easier to drink. This is the perfect thing to have so I can infuse my water while I’m not at the office!

That’s it. That’s all I want. Well I’d like some more stuff but I’m not gonna be greedy. I feel like that’d put me over the edge after already asking for a $1,500 purse. What’s on your Christmas list?

Potpourri

A post about everything and nothing, all at the same time...

1) The crack house is about 80% done! We added flooring and tile, and the windows are being worked on as we speak. A lot of our belongings have been moved over. We spent our first night there Saturday. All that is left is painting the bathroom cabinets, replacing outlets, adding curtains, screw on cabinet and drawer handles, and organizing our stuff. I'm hoping to get my TV working by tonight because I'm an episode behind on Ellen! There's still things on my to-do list like replacing bedroom and closet doors, changing the bathroom counter and shower tile, adding tile to the kitchen counter, and totally revamping the back yard...but those will all happen with time. All the work we've been doing was to make the place livable so now that it is, we're good to go!

2) Remember that Padres game I didn't go to last week? Welp, turns out that was one of the more exciting games the Pads will have all season...besides the fight with the Dodgers. 17 innings, 5 hours later, a Padres win! Not sure if that makes me feel better or worse about it though. Whomp. Oh well.

3) Team USA soccer was happening this weekend. US v. Germany men's game resulted in a 3-4 win in the United States favor, and the US v. Canada women left us with a 3-0 win for the US!

Girl crush Alex Morgan got 2 in the net!

Sydney Leroux "shush-ing" the crowd after her goal.

These two Sydney Leroux images are kind of a big deal because she’s been getting a lot of crap for playing with the US. She is Canadian born to an American father and Canadian mother. She holds dual citizenship between the US and Canadia but has chosen to play with the US national team over Canada’s these last few years/forever. She scored the last goal of the game this weekend and walked around the field a little before grabbing the badge of her jersey, kissed it, and then “shushed” the crowd. According to her twitter, she was called racial slurs, taunted, and family was being talked about. Not cool Canada soccer fans. P.S. none of these pictures of mine, and were stolen from here and here.

4) I am friends with some pretty beastly folks. 12 fb/instagram buds did the San Diego Rock & Roll (half and full) marathon this weekend and kicked it in the face! 1 even qualified for the Boston marathon! Props to all of you because I can't even begin to imagine racing! The last one I did...which was a 5K, kicked my butt! BUT It's on the "things to do before you die" list so I might entertain the idea for next year! We'll see...stay tuned :] P.S. That list has been updated, 2 things have been crossed off...can you guess which ones?

5) Last but most definitely not least, Tim McGraw is this weekend with Love & Theft and Brantley Gilbert! County concert season is officially starting and I bought my tickets a while ago! I saw Tim like 3 or 4 years ago with Kayyy and then last summer up in Anaheim!He puts on such a great show, and I'm super excited to see the other 2! Hopefully Faith Hill makes a guest appearance!

Tax Return Wish List

Fridayyy is finally here! Yay. Kind of a little bittersweet because all of my friends are headed to big bear for snowboarding and drunken shenanigans this weekend and I’m stuck at home :[ Which is kind of okay because I am drowning in school work. Hopefully I catch up on all of it over the weekend!

I checked my bank account this morning…and good news, my federal tax return has been deposited! Now to wait on the state return.

First things first….I immediately called Target and paid off my credit card! Which is a HUGE deal. When I was a wee lass of 18 years young, I went a little credit card crazy and at one time had up to like 9 or 10 cards. Slowly but surely I’ve been paying them off and the Target one was my last one to take care of, but has been lingering around like the black plague for like a year. I'M FINALLY CREDIT CARD FREE!

My wish list for the rest of my tax return money:

Country Mega Ticket. Tim McGraw, Brantley Gilbert, Love & Theft. Luke Bryan, Thompson Square, Florida Georgia Line. Rascal Flatts, The Band Perry. Keith Urban, Little Big Town, Dustin Lynch. Jason Aldean, Jake Owen, Thomas Rhett. O.M.G. Pretty sure I’m gonna purchase it by the end of the day! [*update...as of 5:01 pm 2/22/13, this was purchased.]

And now for my baseball obsession…

Padres vs. Yankees tickets. This is the first year that the Yankees will be visiting the Padres at Petco Park. The Yankees don’t visit the West coast often, so when they do, stadiums sell out ASAP. It’s nearly impossible to get tickets at face value. This year the Yankees visit the Padres in San Diego, Dodgers in Los Angeles, and Angels in Anaheim. I’ve seen them in Anaheim. I’ve seen them in LA. My first priority is to get tickets to San Diego. Thankfully I have an advantage to making sure I get tickets because I have season tickets! They go on sale the first week of March, AND I CAN’T WAIT! Once those are attained, Dodgers/Yankees and Angels/Yankees tickets will follow.

NY Invasion. Wayyyy back in the Myspace days I joined a group called “Yankees Empire.” 9-ish years later and a lot of us are still friends. I’ve actually met up with a few of them that live out here on the West coast at Angels/Yankees games. A majority of them however, live out on the East coast and do “Invasions” at Yankee stadium. There’s one happening on July 27^th, so I’m hoping some of my return funds that trip since I’ve never been to one.

World Baseball Classic & Spring Training. The US and Mexico will be playing against each other in the World Baseball Classic on weekend of my dad’s birthday. They play out in Arizona, about a 5 hour drive. I really want to take my dad to the game for his birthday. If we’re out in Arizona alreadyyy…might as well spend the weekend out there and catch some Padres spring training games. Although, I don’t know how much training they’re actually getting since all the Padres players instagram is them playing golf.

Hawaii Trip. One of my good friends has lived out there since Sophomore year, [2003! 10 years now!] and I've been a sucky friend and not visited her. Seriously, how have I not taken advantage of this opportunity sooner and visited Tara out in paradise? This needs to happen this summer somehow.

Bruno Mars Tickets. I have'nt decided if I just liiike this guy, or if I'm completely obsessed. He's very good at what he does. Gotta give him that. My friend Caroline just loves him, so we decided going to his show out in San Diego is a MUST.

[*edit] Justin Timberlake Tickets. I just found out Justin Timberlake has announced his tour. Closest show to me is in LA at the Rose Bowl. I love this guy. I don't think I can miss it. Which means that New York invasion trip might have to take a back seat. ughhhh.

You're probably thinking I got like $5,000 back, right? Yeah...no. lol. More like $1,200 which isn't bad...but not enough to fund everything on this list. Time to start pinching those pennies for everything else!
