Hello, lovelies!
Welcome to the continued posting of this little nut, sitting here blogging when she should be getting ready for bed. Thanksgiving and all, but meh.
Thankfully, I have most of everything done, considering my ma and I spent the night cleaning the house to near perfection. All that's really left is the cooking of the turkey.
*gag*
Okay, yes. I don't much care for Thanksgiving. It's been a gradual thing for years now, me not liking it. I just think it's pointless and merely there to be in the way of Christmas.
I'm not very adventurous when it comes to food, so I don't care for pies, dressings, weird sauces, beverages, creams, puddings, bleh bleh bleh. I don't even care much for cake, but I'll leave that alone for another time. I'm also not much of a bird person (unless it's Arby's or Chick Fil A or cold sliced turkey you get for sandwiches), so the fact that I'm stuck with turkey for too many days makes me sad. Give me pizza and I will eat it for the rest of my life.
Anyhow, a miracle kind've happened for us this week.
God has provided for us a tremendous amount and we were able to go and do a lot of Christmas shopping today. Can not tell you how excited I was to get shopping done for my fam. ;P
Now I can go crazy next paycheck and buy all de Christmas things my eyes see.
Oh yes, speaking of Christmas stuff.
Lemme introduce you to a little thing called "Shopping with the Queen".
Where I come out and show you all the pics I take from a trip to the store/stores, of things that me eyes fancy. Yesh yesh, this way, mortals..
*hisses at blinky laser lights*
It's important to note that Cosmo, my tablet, who is very precious to me, takes much better pictures outside than he does at home. Which is why I'm in desperate need of a camera to replace the one that malfunctioned on me last year, leading me to getting a new camera of some kind (which also led to me getting something to go on the internet with, har har).
So just letting you know ahead of the time, of my unfortunate predicament.
I also must say that I'm pretty impressed with the way some stores are dazzling up this Christmas..while others, ahem, are lacking in the worst way.
I walked out of a couple of stores today utterly disappointed in what I saw.
It's sad how little an effort they made to make things pretty and special like they did last year. ;_;
Idk why they don't just rehash the same designs that worked. Sigh.
On a side note, I can't wait to get a tree!! Omg, another reason I need Thanksgiving just to be over, cuz I need dat Christmas and it's wonderfulness to come. XD
I'll be a gazillion times happier when it comes around and wipes away this year's crummy residue.
I grow bored of 2016.
Those are some big freakin' ornaments. ._.
Over at another store, I came across a plenty of Penguin things to make me go nuts.
If you know me, you'll know I have had a near life-long obsession with Penguins, and I can't explain why. All I know is I've claimed myself as one.

Bath n Body Works in particular has done a gorgeous job with their decorating this year.
They've sparkled up their Christmas merchandise and it's stunning.
I'm not a girly girl, but I do get a bit mesmerized by shiny things. 8P
Any fool can see how gorgeous they did the thing this year.
Seriously want that Vanilla Bean Noel, btw... *sobs*
Next came the bookstore, which I walked out of, empty-handed. But hey.
need it
I naturally couldn't resist snapping pics of the lovely nerdy things, considering I am their Queen and all. *snickers*
Here, have the remaining pics.
stickers
A box my mom got for my nephew, dkqjkkwh
Finally, a penguin...with reindeer antlers.....that is me.
A funny thing happened at B&BW, btw.
The two women working the counters were both extremely gorgeous, it wasn't even funny.
So after one complimented me on my penguin earmuffs (...don't judge me), I took that moment to tell them both that they were very beautiful and looked like models. XD
They gasped so loud and were grinning so wide, it really made me feel like I accomplished something.
IDK about you, but making people smile or laugh has always been a goal of mine.
Something I love doing and strive to do as much as I can.
I guess it's the entertainer in me, but I really do love to make people smile and laugh.

Happy, in other words.
I have a tendency to feel like a failure if this is not accomplished and winds up playing out as the opposite. And I really beat myself up for it.
Which is silly, of course, given that many people are so horrible and will be mean solely to be mean...
But yeah. Today was an interesting enough day.
Very busy, but I at least got stuff done and got things I've been wanting for quite awhile.

God really blessed us in more ways than I could ask for.
Stressing so much about how he's going to provide and getting angry at him for not doing something when we want him to just makes me wanna kick my own tail.
It's rubbish.
God has a timing for everything. He has a plan for everything.
No matter what happens in this life, he's going to take care of you.
Be it on Earth or in Heaven.
You just have to trust in him. Sure, not everything's gonna work out.

Life is never exactly how we plan it. But there's no sense in whining about it.
Stand up, dust yourself off, roll with the obstacles, keep your chin held high, and endure.
If one door closes, another will open.
No sense in trying to break into the door that can not be unlocked.
And no sense on beating on it, either.

It's okay to get upset, throw a tantrum, cry, whatever.
You're human and nothing else can be expected from it.
But you must learn to adapt and accept what comes.
Or you'll always live your life in stress and bitterness.
Now that I've said all that, I must away to bed.
Another busy day tomorrow, being Thanksgiving and all. Sigh.

Wish me luck as I try to manage through it. 8P
As soon as midnight of November 25 strikes, I'm blasting that Christmas music. XDDDD
Until the next post, have a great day, loves. Stay safe, gorge yourselves, and God bless.
