12/5 {So Over It}

So it was -25 today. All I'm saying is that if I can do Dressember in -25 than anyone can do Dressember. End of story. I also thought I'd talk a little bit about things I am SO OVER.

• Bitstrips - I feel like I was over these before they even started. And now it's coming to the point where you are beginning to see repeats. Ugh. 
• Paul Walker Death Hoax - Seriously, as if a celebrity death doesn't generate enough media buzz, you have to start a interwebs controversy of "is he" or "isn't he". The first night you couldn't find the true truth anywhere. R.I.P. Paul Walker.
• Leggins vs. Pants Debate - Now personally I have been on both sides of this fence. However, I am just somewhat over the whole debate. We wear some pretty crazy stuff nowadays. Time to let this one go.
• Tom Hiddleston - Alright, here is my honesty. I don't get the fascination. Sure he's great. And he's a great Marvel villain. But there is a lot of Pinterest hype about this guy. And I don't get it.
• Walking Dead Mid-Season Finale - Alright everyone is SO blown away by this mid-season finale but honestly, I didn't find it that great. I totally thought someone else was going down {R.I.P. Herschel}. The governor should have been elimated in season 3 and yet we got three full episodes in season 4 oriented around him. I mean it was good, because it's Walking Dead. It just wasn't that good.
• School - Seriously. I'm done my first semester of my final year. WAHOOO! One more semester to go until graduation. Let the beaches and Christmas break begin. Can't wait to do Dressember in warm weather. 

See you in a couple days! Happy Thursday!

12/4 {In Which Life Has It Out For Me}

Today's Theme: Black & White & Pink All Over

P.S. Totally knitted that toque!

Alright rant time. Since I don't believe in using Facebook statuses to complain about my life, sometimes I have to use this blog to do so. There was just a series of "life-hates-me" moments the other day that I kinda just want to document them. Because it could have been an episode in a sitcom.

1. Found out my iron is low. Which explains the constant exhaustion and lack of focus.
2. Went to the hospital to get a CT scan for my right ear {hearing problems}. Well we all know how long it takes to get a CT appointment, and mine had been booked about 6 weeks in advance. So when I showed up, they told me that my appointment had been rescheduled for January 13th. When I asked why, they told me that I had called and rescheduled. Here is the weird part. I DIDN'T CALL AND RESCHEDULE. So that shall forever remain a mystery.
3. Immediately following CT fiasco, I went to develop pictures at a kiosk, but my CD wouldn't register with the machine. Six times later and no success ended with me leaving empty-handed.
4. Then after the kiosk incident, I went to the post office to purchase stamps to mail Christmas cards. Turns out their debit machine was broken, and I had no cash on me.

All these things happened within a space of two hours, so after the post office scene, I just gave up on errands and went home. Then when I woke up the next day, I was sick and ended up staying in bed all day {hence the lack of Dressember post yesterday}.

End rant.

It was one of those days. However today is much better. 

• Got an A on my nursing paper. 
• Got good feedback from my instructor regarding my most recent nursing course. 
• Decorated our local Christian radio station for Christmas. 
• Feeling better. 
• Gonna make Christmas cookies soon.
• Have tickets to see a theatre play tonight with the bestie. 
• And best of all, I LEAVE FOR VACATION IN TWO DAYS!!!!!!

So in the end it all balances out. Happy Wednesday!

12/2 {No Makeup}

I've often debated doing a "no makeup" challenge and then documenting it. Probably channeling from the whole inner beauty and natural beauty thing. Well it turns out I don't need a preplanned challenge to do the whole no makeup thing. Sometimes, life just happens and then you take Dressember pictures and then you have no makeup on. Either way, here is day 2 outfit!

Happy Monday!

OUAT: Think Lovely Thoughts

WHAT THE WHAT!!!!!!!!! Did stuff go down in this episode, or did stuff go down in this episode???? Nobody saw Peter Pan being a part of the dysfunctional family tree, but boy oh boy, was he ever! Crazy! Creepy! Genius! There aren't enough words. Remember last year when we discovered that Henry's father was Rumplestiltskin's son? And then the family tree looked like this . . . ???

Cause now it freaking looks like this??? EVERYBODY IS RELATED!

Seriously this show has daddy issues up the creek. Talk about the gift that keeps on giving. And on that crazy note, let's dive into "Think Lovely Thoughts". {P.S. Sorry about the recap mixup. Turns out there was OUAT last weekend and none this weekend. Either way, now we're all caught up}.

• Best Moment: I think it's safe to say that the discovery of the four generation link was best moment enough. Peter Pan - Mr.Gold/Rumplestiltskin - Neal/Baelfire - Henry. Like what!?!? It would be easier to list the characters on this show who are not related than vice versa. 
• Worst Moment: Poor Rumple. I really felt for him when his dad/Peter Pan abandoned him in order to have that magical, child life he so desperately wanted. It's just the cycle that keeps on giving.
• Object Moment: Now we know the significance of the voodoo-type doll and the origin of Peter Pan's name. I love when things come full circle.
• Creepy Moment: Anybody else find the two old lady spinners {close relation to spinsters} a bit creepy. Why yes, you must stand inches from my face when conversing with me. Both of you. Yes. A little closer please.
• Storyline Moment: So the shadow isn't actually Pan's shadow, but the first and original inhabitant of Neverland?? And the plot thickens.
• Disney Moment: The hourglass. 
• Character Moment: Poor Henry. He tries so hard to be a hero and to do the right thing by FairyTale World. But I feel as if he kinda always comes a little short. It was believable that given the abandonment issues on this show that Pan would be able to convince him to give him Henry's heart. But I still feel as if he would have believed his two moms and dad over Pan.
• Awkward Moment: So Neal & Wendy used to be best buds/potential pre-teen romance. Now she's the same age and he's an adult. And she's been hanging out with his son. Talk about a messed up timeline.
• Annoying Moment: I didn't like how they split up the Magical Breakfast Club. The Charmings went to get magic water so David could stay alive long enough for Rumple to spell him into staying alive. Tink & Hook guarded the very easily subdued Lost Boys {still want more of a backstory on those two}. And the rest headed to Skull Rock. Blah.
• Reunion Moment: Pan & Rumple finally have that confrontation. And now Rumple is in Pandora's box. So not only do we have to worry about how he will be released but also how is he gonna perform a spell to keep David alive????
• Magic Moment: More Team Emma & Team Regina pairing up to cause a lunar eclipse. Girl Power!
• Unrelated Moment: So engaged couple Josh Dallas & Ginnifer Goodwin are gonna have a baby!!!! Looks like the Charmings might get their baby after all. 
• Cliffhanger: Pan has Henry's heart.
• Next Episode: And as a result, Henry might die {but who really thinks that'll happen???}. 

Happy Monday!

The One In Which The Girl On Fire Becomes The Mockingjay

Or for those of you non-dedicated fans who didn't get the obvious reference in the title . . . LET'S TALK THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE!!!!!!!!!!

Obviously I went to the opening premiere on Thursday night, and obviously I documented the occasion with pictures!

{Spoilers Ahead}

What a film {already making plans to see it a second time in theatres}! And I said it about the first one, and I will say it again about the second one: the best part of these films is how close they stay to the books. Seriously, it's a book-lover's dream. Here are some thoughts.

• I loved, loved, loved the introduction and representation of all the new tributes. Finnick was just awesome. Mags was the sweetest and earns MVP. Johanna was a firecracker {cue girl power interview with Ceaser}. 
• I was little disappointed we didn't get Haymitch's backstory about winning the 50th Quarter Quell, and his genius with the forcefield usage. Oh well. Can't have it all.
• The arena was exactly how I imagined it would be. 
• People in my audience laughed with Peeta dropped the "baby" bomb. I wasn't expecting that. I remember that being a pivotal moment in the storyline {speaking of baby bomb, it was kinda never mentioned again the movie as opposed to the book}. 
• I almost cried three times. Once when Katniss was giving her speech to Rue's family. Second when Mags gave her life for Finnick, Katniss, and Peeta. And third when Katniss left Peeta to go with Johanna to string the wire down to the beach. That's the last time they ever see each other before his brain gets messed with.
• Overall, it was just all so good! Go see it if you haven't yet!

And may the odds be ever in your favour!
