Winter Cleaning

So today I took the day off because I was not feeling well. It was really quite strange how it happened. Yesterday I worked 10am-8pm and I was feeling totally fine ALL day long! Went shopping with my RM, gossiped with the Store Admin. and everything and then around 5pm, all of a SUDDEN I felt like I had a fever! It was weird. Then I asked people to touch my forehead to see if I felt hot and they said that I definitely had a fever. Driving home, I felt all weird... almost as if I was dizzy. It was not good. I woke up at 5:45am this morning, took a shower and got dressed and ready. But right before I was about to leave, I had a sudden urge to throw up. So I decided right then and there that I would not go to work since I felt like barfing and had a headache.

So what did I end up doing the entire day you ask? Well.. let me share that with YOU! hahaha

I woke up at 2pm. Since I was technically already dressed and ready (because I did that at 6am)... I brushed my teeth again and then sat around the house for about half an hour. Then I got hungry so I decided that I would head out to get something to eat. First I went to WaMu to deposit a check, then I headed over to Starbucks for a Venti Iced Peppermint White Chocolate Mocha, after that I went to CVS to buy some necessities (contact solution, nyquil, and dayquil), and home I went.

After I ate I felt like I wanted to do something really productive since I was off and wasting my day away. So I decided to clean my closet and completely organize it! I changed everything around a bit. Cleaned out the shoe closet in the entryway of the house to make room for my other shoes that I have in my closet in my room. Switched around some drawers and voila! Everything was PERFECT! That is.. until I turned around and realized that my underwear was sitting in a pile on my floor with no drawer to go into!

At that point, I decided that when Chris got off of work, I would make him take me to the Container Store to get a drawer and a hook that hung over my door. AND that we did! :-) He came and picked me up. We went to The Container Store in Old Town and I got these two items....
this hangs over my door and is currently holding my robe, pashminas, scarves, and jacket....

i only purchased one of these drawers but they are actually quite cool because I can have those steel legs or i can put them under the drawer so that they are stackable!!! Fabulous... this is now where I keep my underwear! Hooray!

After we went to the Container Store, we headed back to Arcadia to eat some Korean BBQ and Tofu. Got our usual, then went to Starbucks to get some tall Peppermint Hot Chocolates and off to Target we went. This is what I got there....

Both these DVD's were $7.50. I had Love Actually but turns out that I left the DVD out and got some sort of liquid on it.. anyway.. it won't play now. So I had to throw it away and buy this new one. Edward Scissorhands... I LOVED this movie when I was a kid. I used to watch it every single day on VHS... it's awesome! :-) I also bought a Marie Claire and X-mas Cards which I do not like and will be returning ASAP!

So that concludes my day. OH! Chris and I did drive up to Sierra Madre/Pasadena to see the Christmas lights but I guess it was too late because most of the houses had turned off all their lights... maybe some other night when we're not out so late we'll go back driving again.

I'm super excited though because tomorrow I get to go to this Sample Denim Sale thing-y with Christy and her sister. Should be exciting!!! Hope I find some good deals on denim. Maybe I'll finally be able to find some skinny jeans! woo~hoo!

ELF!!!

So since it's the holiday season, I just HAD to watch "Elf" today. But the sad part is that I also wanted to watch "Love Actually".... and then I found out that it's all scratched and won't worked. Okay, so it's not exactly scratched... more like some water or some liquid substance got on the DVD and not it won't come off no matter how much i wipe so I had to throw the DVD away. I guess it's a good excuse to go to Amoeba or something and buy a new copy. :-)

Last week was filled with many L.A. trips. First, Chris took me to Tender Greens to get a yummy chicken sandwich on Monday. Then on Wednesday we went to the Century City mall and went shopping at Bloomingdales. I have realized that it is a really nice department store and I will be going back soon! Well, I have to because I bought some skinny jeans and they are way too small. Usually I'm a certain size and I just assumed that I gained some weight or something but after doing some research I have come to find that Paige Jeans tend to run smaller than usual... stupid Paige Jeans!!! Anyway, I have to go back sometime soon to exchange them for a bigger size. Then Chris and I went to The Grove to look at the holiday decorations that they had. Went to Nordstrom of course and walked around. Bought 3 sweaters that are exactly the same but different colors. What? I like them... A LOT. They're just BP brand crew neck long sleeved sweaters... so comfy! I got it in black (I already have one but I love it THAT much..), green and cream.
Then after that we ate at Lala's. I got my usual... skirt steak with mashed potatoes and rice. Then we walked on over to Pinkberry... haven't been there in awhile AND there was NO LINE! But it was also freezing cold that night. Here are pictures from The Grove and Chris at Lala's.

The Grove

The past 2 days that I have had off (Sunday and today) I really haven't done much. Chris has worked BOTH days which means that I have to find other ways to entertain myself.

On Sunday I woke up at 2pm! I had 12 hours of sleep! Craziness... then I just bummed it around the house all day until about 6pm. At that time I think I went over to Chris' house and we got something to eat and watched One More Day, some Oprah Special that sucked on ABC... and then we saw the season premieres of The Girls Next Door and that Snoop Dogg show. They were both okay.

Today was semi-productive... I woke up at 10:30am because of cramps. Went online... then took a shower and hung around the house. Got subway for lunch. Then went to drop off some clothes/shoes at Goodwill and after, headed to the mall to get a mani/pedi. Got that done... met Dede and my mom at Nordstrom and did some more Christmas shopping. After that I bummed it at home until now! Somewhat of an eventful day right? hehehe

Okay, I am tired of writing... I have nothing interesting to say anymore. Thank you for reading and have a good night!
