So, everyone keeps texting me about what to buy for the boyfriend for Christmas.
I took him shopping this weekend as mentioned in the post and picking out gifts was like pulling teeth.
Now I know how Oldest Sister feels when she takes me clothes shopping.
At least I managed to come up with a few ideas from myself. From others I've got nothing. Cause he says he wants nothing.
But at our family Christmas no one gets nothing so I'll have to come up with some ideas. We're spending actual Christmas with his family and New Year's with mine since that's when we're having our family Christmas.
Which I think I told my mother, and if not, then she knows now.
Yes, we are at that point. Afterall we did almost get married in Vegas. Which Cabin Fever pointed out is kind of a big deal.
But it's been over 11 months now.
Which is huge for me cause as previously mentioned most of my relationships don't last longer than a Mento.
And I'm happy.
Which is also new.
Anyway, speaking of relationships, so had yet another "magnet moment" today at work. I helped this dude in the lab and he kept coming up with reasons to come to the desk like to borrow a pen and then to bring back a pen and then to ask about a newspaper and then to borrow the pen again and then he needed my help in the lab again and THEN he hits me with "can I show you something" and says something about how I'm beautiful or something, I don't even remember I was too "get me the heck out of here"-d at the moment. Anyway, so then he goes back into the lab, finishes his session and when putting the pen back in the holder on the desk slips me a note asking for my number.
Needless to say I did not give it to him.
The Library Judge says I'm 6, Queen of the Known Universe says I should have said 12.
6 is props cause she's a badass. Speaking of, "The Rise of Nine" is finally out and I added it to my wishlist - aka I told Favorite Sister in Law to buy it for me. But if she doesn't perhaps Mom will. And then Homey G will immediately borrow it.
I'm wondering if they'll ever make a sequel but wouldn't be surprised if they didn't. I don't think it had the greatest following.
Where was I going again? Oh right, so then this drunk lady started hitting on our security guard, and the poor dude is so young you just feel bad. But he handled it really well. Though later he came up to me and was like, "why are they always old?!"
So apparently if they were younger and hotter he wouldn't mind as much.
I have finally come up with somewhat of a Christmas list.
The first few are boring.
-Luggage
-Bookshelves
-Vacuum
-Curtains Hung Up - still unsuccessful on that front
But then I ran into some fun stuff
-Burn Notice season five
-Charlie's Angels season five
-Once Upon a Time season one
-Pittacus Lore books "Rise of Nine" and then the one about lost legacies
Well, I called it. Sort of, no I did. Picked the final four mentioning Nicholas might slip through just cause he's got people in his corner. I'll miss Amanda, she was great. As was Melanie she just had a bad night. People are ticked. Much like when Pip got kicked off last year. Bowtie and all.
But they're young and hipster-ish and the teens love them.
But my top 2 are STILL IN IT!
And I'm rooting for Terry now as well. He was in my honorable mentions when I was originally crafting the list. And I listened to his song almost 50, well, probably well over 50 times last night while falling asleep.
And then again today.
Second year in a row for Team Blake cause of Jordis last year.
It's interesting now though that it doesn't matter your team, just your number of votes so actually Adam and Xtina don't have any of their team left in the competition. Cee-Lo has Trevin and Nicholas, Blake has Cassadee and Terry.
Alright, should crash. More work tomorrow.
What does it mean?!?
Out!

Dude looks like a lady.
So no, I didn't post last night. Because really all I would have been able to say was,
Wow.
That game sucked.
I was really thinking they were going to hit 80.
It reminded me of playing Madden on my PS2 and the total domination on my end.
Kind of made me want to pull out the video game - I might still tonight before I crash.
Speaking of video games, so the boyfriend and I went shopping today. Pretty much all day. Got some stuff for my family and his parents, though I have yet to get anything for his siblings. I was hoping he would have advice on that but not so much. We'll come up with something I'm sure, we still have time.
BUT! I got ideas for him so that's exciting as his birthday is coming up in a couple of weeks and then of course there's Christmas.
It was a lot of fun. We went to the mall, to Lowe's, to Best Buy, to Gamestop, to Walmart, and stopped for lunch and supper along the way.
Now I'm back at home with my big fat cat about to crash and he's off to work, blah.
I hate this whole scheduling thing, it's crap. But I love my job and he loves his job. I have a feeling it'll be like this for a while. Which is fine cause it's worth it.
Wow, amazingly short post for such a big day.
Feel like there should be more.
Hm, what else happened yesterday?
Oh, slept in.
Um.
Oh, did homework.
Um.
Oh yeah, the crapsuck that was the Big 10 championship game.
That about sums it up I guess.
So, now I'm off to bed. Have a good week!
apparently the radio station we listened to this afternoon was a fan of of aerosmith as they played his music almost every other song.
as is my boyfriend, apparently.
legitimate pre-midnight post. holy crap tag in use.
And yes, I realize I'm like super crappy blogger lady lately and haven't been posting as much as normal, but I'm back now.

Remember, romantic comedies are like cellulite cures, every one of them is a lie.
Three guesses as to what I'm watching, but it's back for the season and still highly entertaining.
So, I pounded out the 9 hours as planned, even survived some grocery shopping afterward.
But I was on strict orders from BossLady about getting orange juice and other nutrients that aren't included in popsicles and flavored water. Cause apparently you can't live on flavored water and frozen flavored water.
Though now all I can think of is, "you ventured out into the jungle for the creamy goodness of peanut butter and came back with the wrong colored apple and flavored frozen water?!"
Ah, good times.
But the 9 hours weren't so bad with the whole "fake it 'til you make it" motto. Except apparently I wasn't so good at the faking part today cause every time the BossLady would catch me dragging my feet she'd tell me to go home. But I'm stubborn and it's all mental so I stayed.
Even after the other supervisor told me I looked like crap.
Well, she didn't put it that way but it was implied.
So much love.
They're all like mothers seriously, except for the Library Judge. He was the only male on staff today and the only one who didn't tell me to go home.
I didn't think I was that bad.
But now I have the weekend off to sleep and actually spend time with my boyfriend which has been really not happening lately as he was sick and then he was sick again and then I was sick. Just blah.
Anyway, no work AND NO CLASS leaves me time to actually do something. Aside from sleep. I did finish the last major assignment in one of my classes. Only one thing left - plus some discussion boards - but really I should have written this paper like a week ago cause I've already done the interview, it's just transcripting it really.
Is that a word? Transcripting? Or is it transcribed? Transcribing? Is that a word? Am I really that out of it that my English Majorism is gone for the night already?
Blah.
Whatever, anyway, I want to get some Xmas shopping done at some point - speaking of I actually thought of some exciting stuff other than luggage, vacuum, bookshelves and, ah crap, what was the fourth boring thing?
Anyway, sent a couple of book titles to the Favorite Sister In Law and of course Charlie's Angels season five is out now on DVD - woohoo! Except it's in a box set and I have the first four and you can't buy it by itself so it'll have to be off Amazon.
Other than that Burn Notice season five is debatable.
I think I need a break from Michael Weston. This whole sickness has me watching far too much of it. Like it was on in the background whilst writing the paper I just submitted - cause I can't work when it's quiet - on tuned to the episode that I've fallen asleep watching like 5 times within the last week.
Though kind of ineffective since I had my headphones in anyway.
I'm not productive without those, it's pathetic really.
Yes, I know, Millennial generation, and yet you're still reading this.
Where was I? Oh right, Christmas shopping at some point, plus I wanna swing by Grams' place to take a look before everything gets painted and all that. Though I guess I can't call it Gram's place anymore. We joked about coming up with a name for the property. I think now they're calling it the Cottonwood Estate or something cheesy. We can do better than that.
Oh yeah, in case you weren't aware, my sister and her husband bought Grams' house after she moved out and into a home. I lived there for a summer with her before I had to go back for college. But they're big into renovation and all that so it should be interesting.
Similar to how my brother bought my other grandparent's house and revamped it.
Alright, enough rambling. Gonna get back to Hot In Cleveland and crash so I can enjoy the sleeping in factor.
As it is already 3AM and I want to have time to do stuff tomorrow that needs to start immediately.
Clip of the night:
"don't just stand there joy, come on!"

"i ain't touching her heat button."
Ah, Thanksgiving.
Yet another family function filled with food, fun and frivolity.
Say that five times fast.
You can stop now.
Our family is pretty zen compared to others - well, at least the adults are. The kids on the other hand - there was a lot of running and screaming and video games and bingo while the rest of us were content to watch football, the Bond marathon, and look through all the ads in today's paper coming up with our own Christmas lists.
It's become this cheesy tradition and this year we all basically brought our own papers which made it even more entertaining.
Though last year's bicker and banter over who got to see what first was also amusing.
Add to that Second Sister's great app suggestion - Christmas List Pro - in which you can keep track of the people you're buying for, what you got them and how much you spent. There's more if you pay for the premium version but really that's all I needed. Got a lot of good ideas from today but the problem with me is that lately I have no idea what I want.
Book shelves and luggage is all I can come up with, and really, neither of those screams a good time.
Practical yes, party no.
Not that I'm a big party girl like at all really.
But you gotta have some fun stuff too and before that pretty much all I got was fun stuff. Video gaming systems, movies, CD's, computers, signed Charmed scripts, etc. Now I'm old and am boring apparently because before I was able to list off 5 movies that I wanted or video games that had just came out.
Right now all I got is luggage and book shelves.
And then of course my yearly Santa requests...
An endless supply of Diet Dr. Pepper...
A litter box that cleans itself...
yeah know, just the basics.
But not knowing makes it hard for people to buy for me cause I'm not able to give them suggestions, SO! Within the next week I'm gonna be searching ads and online trying to find good fun stuff.
And if you see something you think I'd like send me a note.
Where was I before this tangent?
Oh right, Thanksgiving stories.
Made some interesting memories tonight, slept in 'til 10:30. Woke up and turned on the parade - about thirty seconds later Second Sister called asking what I was doing so I was able to say "watching the parade" instead of saying "shutup i'm sleeping it's my vacation" isn't that nice?
Oldest and Second Sister's families arrived first, then I went to pick up the great aunt but kept getting phone calls about stuff I needed to pick up while in town. The lady at the counter kept laughing at me cause I kept coming back and trying to balance ice, chips and a paper. And listening to my ringtone for when my mother calls.
Let's just say it's highly entertaining, but awkward in social situations when you don't know the people around you.
So I picked her up and successfully jammed the walker into my backseat - always entertaining - then came home so we could eat. We jammed out, watched the Lions lose in overtime - what the hell is up with Suh? You know, when he was here in Nebraska he was the hero, he was awesome. Now he just has some serious anger issues.
The great aunt played bingo with the kiddos and apparently won all the games. Though I laughed cause they were playing with apple jacks as the markers.
This was sometime after the siblings had taken of the couches/chairs in the living room and had ads spread all over the place. But I found Squirt some cool Yoda slippers and Bek a giant stuffed rainbow unicorn plus came up with some other ideas as well. We had Bond on in the background later on - Goldeneye then something else, we weren't paying too much attention to the second one. I just remember it had Teri Hatcher in it.
But then we got distracted ate supper and played pitch instead. Dad and Oldest Sister challenged Bubby and I. They won the first set by a lot, we edged them out in the second set and then SHOT THE MOON and won the third.
I had AKQ962 in diamonds somehow majestically before the deck so I passed that on to Bubby. We dominated.
Oh and big Joe made a house out of dominoes it was pretty cool.
And then everyone took off around 8ish.
The boyfriend spent today home with the flu. I know, I was totally sad but I think he was content to lay on the couch and watch TV. I told BossLady I should have introduced them because she wants to catch the flu. Apparently she enjoys being sick and spending time on the couch. It can be relaxing but I'll pass on all the symptoms, thanks.
Actually she's not the first one who wants to meet him. Around work he's known as "the boy" "the boyfriend" or "the yorkster" which I enjoy. I was told to bring him to work some time though I'm not sure I want to subject him to the Spanish Inquisition from some of the more protective ones. I quite like this one, you can scare the other creepers away.
All in all it was a pretty great day except for the missing boyfriend part. Told some humorous stories, my favorite I'll get in trouble for posting but I'm going to anyway cause I'm still laughing was when Mom first got the new mower - and it's one of those massive riding mowers so very different than our previous one - she hit the pickup and she came inside and told my brother to move the pickup and "while you're at it, pick up the mailbox too."
Needless to say I did a lot of the mowing from then on.
The title is a quote from my brother. Mom has this fake fireplace unit inside our actual fireplace - bizarre but effective - and it has these lights that look like an actual fire but it's also a space heater. My brother was complaining it wasn't doing its job so I told him he needed to hit the heat button. He refused.
After all that Mom and I jammed out on the couch and watched that Michael Jackson documentary Bad 25, it was interesting. Totally didn't know Sheryl Crow sang backup to him on tour and that Annie are you okay was a reference to a CPR dummy. Totally makes the song different after hearing that.
apparently he made "short films" not video. cool to see the influence tie-ins now that I know what to look for. though i still have no idea how they did 7:14.
even though that is a classic the version i grew up with is this one:
love the sidewalk.
sleeping in tomorrow then watching the husker game while putting up the trees, woohoo!

and whispered in the sound of silence.
Things you've missed this week:
World Kindness Day Celebration
-So we knew there wouldn't be a giant turnout because of the game timing, but we had a lot of fun with the people that showed up. And the TAB kids got really into the pin the food on the cornucopia game. One of the kids got so lost he ended up behind the staff desk - and the posted was hung up on the staff door by the PAC's.
Smooth.
So we made our bag turkeys, spoon pilgrims, pilgrim hats, and hand and foot turkeys, plus ate some cookies and drank some apple juice with the Queen of Awesome.
Fun stuff.
Oh, and the QofA was also the first of my coworkers to meet the boyfriend.
Pretty sure she's proud of that.
Oh, totally kissed him in front of my kids and didn't even realize it. Cause you know how stuff like that can turn into a routine thing?
Or is that just us?
It wasn't like a serious thing but when I turned around and they were all smiling I was like, did I just? ah, crap.
Won't be living that one down any time soon.
More fun life stuff a work friend of mine is pregnant and I TOTALLY CALLED IT! Cause I can tell the symptoms, I have three sisters and 8 nieces and nephews I can tell the signs.
Ask Second Sister, got in the car to see Wicked,
"Are you wearing perfume?"
"Are you pregnant?"
"Oh my god!"
She knew for a like a day.
Anyway, I was joking that I had called it but she denied it so I was gonna go up and say "In your face!" but pregnant women are hormonal and nauseous so Queen of the Known Universe said the friend may counter with "On your shoes!"
What else?
Oh, I have a new nickname from Sketch.
Hazmat.
Long story.
But previously I was Pancake.
So now I am a Hazmat Pancake.
I'm sure there's more - oh like tonight, we - Maegan, Sam and myself - interviewed a reference librarian for an assignment. I finished all of my other stuff for that class so really I could write this paper from my notes and be done with homework for that class. All I have left is a physical class next month and we're good for the semester.
But I still have the other two classes to finish. Two more major assignments and some discussion boards. This week I'm off for holiday so no homework or discussions - huzzah!
I've already started on one of them, I should really get going on the other. Perhaps I'll work on them over Thanksgiving break.
Ha.
Right.
What else?
Oh, did some Christmas shopping this morning. I'm now done with Favorite Sister-In-Law, Booge, Abby Cadabra, and Claire, plus KJ, G-Wigger and Obi-Wan. Halfway done with Mom. Have one thing for Dad but it's not a lot.
Working on presents for the boyfriend's birthday and Xmas.
So that's.... let's see gotta count there's
2
4
5-4 so 1
5-1 so 4
plus Laverna, Grams
oh and I got the Cool Aunt done.
And I should get something for the Library Goddess.
so that's what like 14 left? Plus the boyfriend x2 so 16.
And I should get stuff for his family so there's more.
Eh, I got time.
I still haven't made my list.
We've started doing this thing over Thanksgiving where all the siblings take over the couches in one room and pass around the ads and make our lists. It's quite handy.
Bookshelves may be good.
I have like 3 well, 4 smaller ones but they're overflowing. Maybe I should ask for some tall ones. I could put them where the shorter ones are now and then use the shorter ones for DVD's and CD's or pictures or something.
But they've gotta be good sturdy ones cause I'm an English major so there's a lot of anthologies involved.
Plus like every work by Shakespeare, a bunch of classic novels, some random nonfiction, and A LOT of popular fiction. One of my volunteers was talking about favorite novels. I told her I was a Patterstonian. She thought that was funny.
Please tell me you get that reference.
Back when the show was still good.
Alright, music and I'm off. Got a meeting in the morning to plan out the next newsletter with the Library Goddess.
Huzzah for coffee.
Sound of Silence - Simon and Garfunkel

All I have left is a physical class next month and we're good for the semester.
But I still have the other two classes to finish. Two more major assignments and some discussion boards. This week I'm off for holiday so no homework or discussions - huzzah!
I've already started on one of them, I should really get going on the other. Perhaps I'll work on them over Thanksgiving break.
Ha.
Right.
What else?
Oh, did some Christmas shopping this morning. I'm now done with Favorite Sister-In-Law, Booge, Abby Cadabra, and Claire, plus KJ, G-Wigger and Obi-Wan. Halfway done with Mom. Have one thing for Dad but it's not a lot.
Working on presents for the boyfriend's birthday and Xmas.
So that's.... let's see gotta count there's
2
4
5-4 so 1
5-1 so 4
plus Laverna, Grams
oh and I got the Cool Aunt done.
And I should get something for the Library Goddess.
so that's what like 14 left? Plus the boyfriend x2 so 16.
And I should get stuff for his family so there's more.
Eh, I got time.
I still haven't made my list.
We've started doing this thing over Thanksgiving where all the siblings take over the couches in one room and pass around the ads and make our lists. It's quite handy.
Bookshelves may be good.
I have like 3 well, 4 smaller ones but they're overflowing. Maybe I should ask for some tall ones. I could put them where the shorter ones are now and then use the shorter ones for DVD's and CD's or pictures or something.
But they've gotta be good sturdy ones cause I'm an English major so there's a lot of anthologies involved.
Plus like every work by Shakespeare, a bunch of classic novels, some random nonfiction, and A LOT of popular fiction. One of my volunteers was talking about favorite novels. I told her I was a Patterstonian. She thought that was funny.
Please tell me you get that reference.
Back when the show was still good.
Alright, music and I'm off. Got a meeting in the morning to plan out the next newsletter with the Library Goddess.
Huzzah for coffee.
