ERRAND DAY!

Today!!! I ran errands with my mom after receiving my third and final shot of gardisal! We went to the mall to return some things and also check out the holiday sales. I swear I have been going to the mall too often.

I finished reading Insurgent last night and I have to say the ending to this book was a lot better than Divergent. I felt like the ending of Divergent clued us into what was going to happen in Insurgent too much. I don't like the whole transitional ending. I prefer the book to end as it is without the reader knowing what might happen next. Sort of like the main characters of the book should have peace at the end before the set off on another adventure in the next book. Mark and I placed bets on what the third book will be named. He says, Resurgent and I say Convergent. This is just for official purposes. I would need proof to look back on once the book comes out in May!

Haha, above is a picture of my mom's leche flan. It took her a couple tries of getting it right but she finally did. I admire her determination and persistence

Good shopping day!

Got a good haul today! All of these were purchased from H&M! I like shopping on week days when there's hardly anyone around. I was able find everything fairly easily on the sales rack! I'm excited to wear the black blazer because the black blazer I currently own is way too big on me and doesn't tailor to my fit. I'm also glad I was able to find a peplum top and dress still in my size! The good thing about H&M that Forever 21 doesn't have is a bigger range in sizes and it's in numbers.. not your typical S,M,L. So the dresses and skirts actually fit me at H&M. Although I do think Forever 21 does size Love 21 in numbers, everything is sized half a size larger... The other thing I bought was just a brown long cardigan that I can wear with leggings :)

I also saw Les Misérables with Mark :)  It was really good. I went into the theater without knowing anything about the movie or story line and that's how I usually like watching movies in theaters. Unless it's based on a popular recent novel. SPOILER ALERT. My favorite characters were Thénardier and Madame Thénardier who are played by Sacha Baron Cohen and Helena Bonham Carter. They were absolutely perfect for the part and I think they did a really good job as did the rest of the cast!

I am so tired after waking up early today to catch the matinee and the family party today... I'm going to take the rest of the evening listening to Les Misérables pandora and reading Insurgent :)

Gingerbread Tree!!

This morning I woke up to get ready for church and I looked in the mirror and saw some really bad eye bags. I have been getting plenty of sleep but on top of that I've been trying out this anti-puff and dark circle remover cream. Either I'm just waking up with a puffy face or the eye cream is reacting with the skin under my eyes. Although I do see less dark circles, the puffiness I wake up to is still menacing.

I went to church with my family and went to Red Lobster for lunch. When I came home I had a few friends over to watch the Hangover (unrated version) and decorate this long overdue gingerbread tree. I think it came out pretty well. Although the gingerbread cookies weren't very appetizing... they never really are. The day went by quickly and it's just hours away from New Year's Eve!

Yesterday all day I was in my bed reading Divergent. I couldn't stop reading it. So, today I got to use my Kindle 4 for the first time and read Insurgent! I'm excited for her third book to come out which is supposed to come out this coming year. Hopefully Insurgent is as good as the first book!
