Thursday: Tacos

And not to have this post all boring and about food. I think I forgot to post a photo of my purchases after I mentioned them in a blog post. So here we have’em:

Careful with enlarging them. They’re friggen huge. I decided to just copy them over from my Flickr page. I was lazy and didn’t want to resize them.

I have no shame. You all can see my newly purchased undies. Whatever. They’re microfibre and I want to spend all my monies on them. They’re so soft and comfortable, and don’t leave a panty line! I am super confused with VS’s sizing. I have everything ranging from XS to Med. in their undies. I had to return three pairs of small’s and exchange them for mediums, that still look incredibly tiny on my butt. I shop at aerie stores all the time for regular underwear and I always buy smalls and they’re always the same fit/size each time. Why fool with me, Victoria Secret… why?

Then I headed to BBW where I picked up some much needed smelly ahnd soaps. Mmmm. Can you guess what everyone’s getting for Christmas!?

4015029905_2596966932_oI picked up a christmasy/winter nail file because I’ve recently became obsessed with filing my nails rather than clipping them. 3 hand soaps (Frosted Orange Spice which I think is just a holiday scent, Wild Honey Suckle — a regular in this household, and Sea Island Cotton which has a very fresh scent) and with a purchase over $10 I got to pick up a hand cream for free. I think I picked up Sea Island Cotton. On the bottom you’ll see a lip balm (which is so retarded. I should have tried this on anything other than my hands before purchasing it. But it comes out very shimmery and GOLD on your lips. It’s a bit insane, and a total waste of $7.50. Lastly, I purchased some hand sanitizer in wild honey suckle.  I can’t stop smelling my hands after I apply this. Mmm so good. I need to go back and get some more deals before they stop having their grand opening sale (Buy 3 get 2 free, or Buy 2 get 1 free). I know my Mom would love some of their bath scents…

What are your favorite things from Bath and Body works, or even Victoria Secret PINK line?

Eat your veggies

When making supper an I have to choose a green veg, I usually opt for the boyfriend’s favorite: broccoli, rather than my personal favorite ASPARAGUS!

However. I have a little pet  peeve with greens. I usually place the broccoli crowns chopped up nicely in a bowl with maybe 2tbsps of water, cover with saran wrap and nuke them until they’re a bit cooked but still a tiny bit crunchy. But! When I put them on the plate to serve supper they get cold within minutes. I cannot bear to eat cold broccoli and I usually pawn off my leftovers to the Boyfriends plate.

How do you keep broccoli warm longer than 2 minutes, while the mashed potatoes and carrots are still super toasty? It’s very annoying!

Our local mall was in renovations for the last 8 months or so, and from October 15—17 they’re having a grand opening of a … “hallway” of stores(?) Hey, it’s Friday so I’m allowed to have brain-freezes. What I was most excited for was Bath & Body Works, and Victoria Secret PINK! And guess what, I drove there.

I left after supper so only (lol)  had two hours to check out all the new wonderful stores. I spent most of my time in the two mentioned, but what I was also excited to see was a Teaopia.  I’m not a huge fan of tea, mainly because I tend to sweeten it too much for myself.

I would show you the purchases that I got, but I forgot to e-mail them to myself last night. If you’re a flickr friend you can view them on there. Otherwise, you’ll have to wait til tomorrow. Sad loss, I know.

During lunch I have to take my car (HEHEHEHE!!!) to get a drive safe test done. It’s not that far away from work, and apparently it only takes 30 minutes + $35 to do it. Not bad. I mean, it’s necessary as I still only have a temp sticker on my license plates (10 days max). So I need the emissions test done before I get an “October 2010” sticker from the moto vehicle registration office.

I don’t really have much to talk about today.
