i needed new shoes for a friend's upcoming wedding, so i shopped.
at four inches above ground level, i seriously need tan not to leave my side during the wedding to avoid fashion mishaps, i.e. sprawling on the floor.
as with all shopping adventures, here's the impulse buy:
technically, shopping's not a simple joy since it requires a whole lotta effort as well as a really really fat wallet. effectively lessens the frustration though.so here's a product of this weekend's shopping that shall count as my simple joy #2:
really really cute hair thingies. i know the bears aren't really age-appropriate, but i couldn't resist. they're checkered! at least i don't do pigtails anymore.
where do i get the christmas joy and cheer i hear so much about?
here's how i picture a perfect christmas setting:
minus the fireplace of course. a small but fully decorated tree, perfectly wrapped gifts (and patience not to open any of them 'til christmas eve), cozy couch with pillows and a blanket, and soft instrumental music. very inviting, very relaxing, sweet, and simple.
so, santa, here's what i want for christmas:
if you can't, this will do:
no gift wrapping necessary. ^_^
ok, back to reality. it's the 11th, and i haven't the slightest clue on how this year's christmas will turn out. having a stressful work environment (despite the buy-out) sucks so i'm looking for ways to make this december better. been calling my saturday overtimes "sacrificial saturdays" already. it's a crazy rat race and i can't even see the finish line.
dear bosses: you're scrooges, every last one of you!
somebody, somewhere, has to know the answer to my question. i need a serious boost on this chirstmas spirit thing!!
