Fandom

The thing I love about tumblr is that it's so active even in the Harry Potter fandom

The thing I don't like however is that I feel the outsider. Lol

I remember being right in the middle of the fandom for so long but now I feel like an outsider looking in. I also feel old</i> Lol

I know I've said this before but I really miss fandom life. I think I'm just a lot lonelier lately and I remember fandom and just feeling so much like I belonged

Nursery Nonsense

I was totally exhaustd yesterday my mom and I went to 4 Targets! But, we had a good reason. Apparently all the baby clearance was marked down extra yesterday and we got some major scores.

I got a new crib and a matching dresser at 50% off for 125 each (I'm still so annoyed at the crib we bought off craigslist I cant even go into it except to say it cost us 80 but the lady said the side wasn't adjustable and it was and it a crappy plastic thing and it broke while putting it together - mario tried to get me to use it anyway but I am not using a broken crib. I was so upset I started crying. There are no returns when you buy used).

We also got a bassinet which I've been wanting so she can sleep in our room in the begining (especially since I plan on nursing). That was 50% for 50.00 instead of 100.00....then my mom bought me tons of stuff (some of which will get wrapped for the shower but I dont mind because they were so cute and a steal at 50%-70% off so this way the baby will get more stuff than if I had insisted on it being a surprise.

In some ways we've bought kind of a lot but I don't have very many people to invite to a baby shower and i think most of them will probably bring clothes. and I'll appreciate anything I get but I was too scared to assume anyone would buy anything big because if I hadnt bought stuff yesterday and waited and no one bought anything like that I would've had to pay full price.

In other nursery news, the paint color came out really pretty but a brighter pink than I had anticipiated. But it went on thin in some spots and so we now have to buy more and fix it. :/ (another thing mario seems to think is unnneccesary ...silly boys)

So all in all things are coming together good but I do change my mind a lot and have more things to return for baby that I previously bought since I bought stuff yesterday. lol I'm so bad soemtimes but when I see something cuter or a better deal (or both) I have to get it!

Merry Christmas everybody!!!

 

I'm just sitting in the living room alone because Mario still sleeping.  I'm actually watching National Lampoon's Christmas vacation on netflix which I've never seen in its entirety.

 

we're heading up to my grandma's around 9am this morning for breakfast and doing all of our presents and stockings up there with my mom and grandma.

 

I'm very excited for Christmas.  there's a potential for a small amount of drama with my cousins girlfriend who just had a baby because apparently she's on drugs now and my grandma called Reannas dad (my cousin ashleys daughter)... and he supposed to be bringing her over to visit this afternoon but none of us including me my mom or my grandma have seen her in over a year.  I'm kind of nervous because I can't even imagine the things Ashley and my aunt have told her about my mom and me.  I know she's only a kid but it will hurt if she doesn't want to talk to me.  plus I have a feeling if Ashley find out she's coming over she'll  put a stop to it which I hope doesn't happen because my grandma really misses her.

 

so overall it's looking to be a very lovely Christmas but there's a few chances for drama which I'm hoping don't happen.  I'm going to keep a cheery attitude and stay not stressed out for me baby.  yay Christmas!!!!!

Christmas is getting so close.  I'm excited.  it's also so lovely this morning because it's cold and rainy outside and I'm just sitting in the living room watching the Christmas tree while I have my tea.

 

 

I'm also looking forward to today because Mario and I are finally going to go see The Hobbit!  my mom and I actually had tickets to go see it on Friday that we had purchased 2 weeks ago but the tickets got lost so we couldn't go...excited to be going to see it!

 

I'm basically done Christmas shopping now.  I think I just need to pick up a few small things for my moms stocking still ( I'm pretty sure mario hasnt shopped for me yet though. lol).... also I learned my lesson this year I bought things that needed to be shipped without thinking about shipping them for the first time ever and I paid for it at the post office yesterday. lol

 

anyway Im just feeling nice and Christmasy today. :)

So my mom signed up for trial with Netflix so I'm stealing it when she's not using it. lol  this means I finally get to finish the last couple episodes of season 1 of revenge.  I was also excited to see that they finally added season 4 of Merlin ( but disappointed to hear it has been canceled)

 

In other news I'm so excited we're going to have our first ultrasound this Friday.  by my best guess I'm 12 weeks pregnant today... so about 12 and a half weeks on Friday.  I know that it's not a guarantee and more of a long shot but we really really hope we can find out the gender of the baby.  Im dying to find out!

thanksgiving was super low key this year since we basically celebrated over the weekend.

 

it was just my mom and my grandma and Mario and me.  we read the ads and played Monopoly, watched some TV and had a hamburger and fries for dinner.  it was pretty nice except for the drama that I put my last post.

 

my mom and I swore that we were not doing Black Friday this year because of the hours.  so we didn't get up earlier anything but around 8:30 on Friday morning my mom and I started texting and we were both dying to go shopping. ( Mario says we like to shop too much lol)

 

the most crowded was Kohls where there was a crazy lady behind us.  the trumpets old lady yelling at me about why i was in line and giving me the evil eye ( they were letting anybody who applied for a credit card pay in the back so my mom did that's why we were back there... well the other lady just wanted to pay there just because and she was mad that we were there.  she just kept giving us the evil eye and talking about us loudly in line it was so weird).... but I did manage to get a pair of slippers, a new bra, a big package of Christmas bows and a cute Christmas rug all for 12 dollars.  the lady in front of my mom gave us a bunch of coupons it was awesome.  we also picked up some clothes from Mario from my grandma for a great price.

 

we went ahead and braved the mall which was insane.  but I did manage to find Mario a really nice and very plush sweatshirt at the gap.  it's got a higher collar and buttons so it's a little bit more of a preppy sweatshirt so I hope he likes that because I think it'll look so handsome on him.  it was regularly 80 bucks and I got it for 28 dollars with tax.  score!

 

after lots of shopping we were starving and ate the food court.  we ate at some place called Sarku Japan which would never tried but their teriaki chicken was delicious.

 

we walked around the whole mall some more but didn't actually buy anything else there.  we also went to cost plus world market and got cute stuff for my grandma.  Toys R Us was insane but my mom and I both got 1 great toy for my cousins girlfriends son.

 

I was also able to get a great deal on two board games at Target.  my mom also got a board game at a great price and a sewing machine there.

 

so we didn't get any huge doorbusters but we actually probably bought more stuff this Black Friday then we ever have.  excluding the fact that JCPenney stoped giving out their snow globes this is probably the most fun and most successful black friday ever.

 

the only downside is that by the time we got home I was completely exhausted.  I think I kind of forgot I was pregnant and pushed myself too hard. lol  we left at 10 and got home a little after 7... my legs and my back and my feet were killing me.  Im still tired!

 

did anybody else go out on Black Friday?

i feel totally stressed and overwhelmed today.</p>

 

and someone dented the front of my mailbox. it looks like they smashed it with a rock and that little flag things on the side got bent ai bad it fell off!  after the problems we had with people tearing down our july 4th decor this is starting to feel personal and makes me so sad and uncomfortable.

 

and our neighbors are trashy and won't throw their trash away.

 

it makes me upset we bought our home. i love my house but the neighbors and neighborhood aren't what i expected and i just feel overwhelmed and unhappy.

 

:(
