Yesterday was a wonderful Friday! Tyler and I went to the social security office and OMG, there were SO many people there but then the security guard informed us that to change my name we were to go next door and luckily there were NO ONE there so we were in and out quickly! We then made a quick trip to the car shop to get my car’s (Zella) oil changed and that only took 15 minutes. They usually have some bad news to tell me about Zella but this time they didn’t…whew! I didn’t want that especially with Christmas coming up.

Yesterday was very relaxing…I made peanut blossoms and we watched two movies, Wanted & Fred Claus. Wanted is an amazing movie…I usually don’t like action movies but this was definitely a good movie with creative scenes! Mom and I talked briefly on pager…she “forgot” to invite us to dinner and grandma took them out for chinese food! my very favorite food and my mom “forgot” to invite us!!

On Black Friday Tyler convinced me that we needed a new TV. Do we really? No but the fact that it was an OMG deal! I’m weak like that… I tried saying the word NO firmly and I guess he knows me very well.

Once we got home with the new TV, he convinced me that we should rearrange the living room and get rid of our TV stand. I gave in and let him do what he wanted but made sure he left room for our Christmas tree!

I love my new ornaments! Stripes & polka dots…so me!

Come on over for hot chocolate!

Tyler and I went to IKEA again this weekend for the millionth time. I never get tired of that place. We needed chairs for our dining table & some other organization stuff. I’m at that stage where I want everything to be simple and not visible.

Everything’s organized and put away! Can’t go wrong with black.

I also love ULTA. I got some new make up today. I ran out of conditioner and noticed my hair is actually better without conditioner so I won’t be using it anymore. Farewell, conditioner!

Last night we bought Swiffer Wetjet and OMG, that stuff works!!! I love it! Our floors are clean now. The apartment better stay clean for the rest of the week, seriously or I’m gonna go bananas!

I’m ready for bed but I can’t….I have to watch Gossip Girl, One Tree Hill, AND Heroes!

Since I promised pictures, here are pictures of the living room / kitchen / bathroom. Not the bedrooms because they’re still a work in progress.

More pictures coming when the bedrooms are completed and that’s after Blake moves in next week.
