December Madness

What a personality my kid has developed.
He is like a mini tornado!  in less than 2 months, he went from my sweet little coo to.... big bad coo.  I have no idea who he gets it from.

Watch the video below for more madness

Happy Holidays everyone!

I can't believe Christmas is almost here!! I am super excited.  I have been to the mall so many times in the past week. I can't believe I am saying this nut I am sick of the mall.  I am mall-ed out.   See ya next year MALL!!  There were way too many people... rude people who walks so fast and bumping into my stroller.. rude, annoying, stinky people....
Anywho....  we waited to hours for santa, we were trying to teach him "cheese" and smile for the camera, he went along with it and didn't seem to care when he saw all the other kids crying and screaming for their lives on santa's lap.  Infact.. he was waving HI to santa and everything.. smiling and playing... but as soon as I put him on santa's lap...he gave me THIS face.  He didnt cry.... he gave me this "deer caught in the headlight look".... the same look as last year.   Maybe he will smile NEXT year.

I am in such a good mood tonight, maybe its because of the holiday coming up, or that today was my last day of work (until next Tuesday) or that bottle of wine I just finished................yea I think it's all the above combined.

I can't wait till tomorrow night, spending Christmas eve over my parents house, Christmas day with the in-laws, and Monday will be my "do nothing but lounge around all day" day.

Holiday Party/Pot luck at the office.  I was in charge of the decorations :)

This is my contribution

Can't have a Christmas party without Christmas cookies!

I even decorated the plant in the conference room

Hubby got me Ginngie a few years ago as a stocking stuffer, I break her out every Christmas. (yes, it's a HER)

So that's all folks! Happy Holidays everyone! and be safe



Holy Lipstuff Batman!

I was doing a little clean up at my desk here at work, and I found all this lipstick/gloss here!!!

No wonder I can’t find any good lip stuff when I am at home on the weekends.

The weird thing is that I don’t even wear most of these colors here (i.e the hot pinks)

Top row from left to right: Maybelline baby lips in “Peach Kiss” and Cherry me”, MAC lipstick in “Crosswires” and “Curtsy”, NYX soft Matte lip cream in “Addis Ababa” and “Stockholm” and MAC Lusterglass in “Beaux”

Second row from left to right: Palladio tinted lip balm in “berry”, Nivea “a kiss of Milk and Honey” chapstick, Lancome Juicy tube in “Coral Rush”, Loreal infallible in “Azalea”, NYX lip gloss in “crystal soda”, “Dolly pink”, “smokey look”, Nars lip gloss in “0rgasm” and Loreal infallible lipgloss in “coral sands”

That last lonely pot is MAC tendertone in “Pucker”

I really need to take this stuff home, it is getting out of control!

Jacob's First Dentist Appointment and weekend recap

It went really well! I was shocked at how good he was being.  He opened his mouth nice and wide for them to clean.  He never opens that wide for ME!

BUT, his gums are swollen and infected.  The infection is due to the combo of him teething and a cold he caught.   The dentist said he was in a lot of pain which was why he hasn't been eating. 
Poor baby :(

It seem like he had so much fun at the dentist, he didn't want to leave!  He got some toys, a tooth brush and a sticker! He was such a happy camper.

His appetite is slowly coming back,  He ate a lot more yesterday then he did in 3 weeks.


After the dentist, we tried taking pictures with Santa.  Santa was super busy cause there was a 2 hour wait.    I looked at my husband and knew Jacob would not sit in his stroller for that long without freaking out.  So we had to skip Santa's lap.   We are hoping to go to Sesame Place for the Very furry Christmas event this coming Saturday and we will see Santa there.   We can only go if Jacob is feeling 100% better.  He still has a very stuffy nose.

Sunday was uneventful, we stayed home, I made congee (Chinese dish: rice soup), did some house work, laundry... the boring stuff.  

Ohh and I dyed my hair.  I decide to just go back to my roots, dark brown...

I got the Garnier Nutrisse in Sweet Cola, which is a dark brown.

and of course it looks BLACK on my head.

Feeling a little goth right now, but after a few wash I am sure it will lighten up a little bit, so it will look more natural.

Rebecca Minkoff is here!

And she is gorgeous! Rebecca Minkoff 'Mini MAC' Clutch

I saw this on sookiepyo's youtube video, it's in her latest "What's in my diaper bag" video.  I saw her pull that bag out and I fell in LOVE.  I had to ask her what brand it was and where I could get it.  She was super nice and gave me all the details.  She is one of my favorite YT moms, she is super stylish and gives out great beauty and fashion advice. (plus she has a great collection of bags)

I have been looking for a crossbody clutch, and this is prefect.
For my Birthday, 2 of my good friends (Alice and Jen) gave a a nordstrom Gift Card.  So I knew excatly what I wanted to do with that card.


I took 2 weeks to decide on what color I want.  It was down to That red

Navy

or Teal

I did what any girl would do.  I took a poll with my best girl friends.  The red won :)

I actually Love all the colors so maybe I will get another one.  Christmas IS right around the corner....

Crazy Hair Lady

My hair is hot mess right now!

I need to trim my hair, I need a hot oil treatment, I need to dye it (I have like 2 inches of roots showing), oh heck I need to just shave my head and start all over!

I keep making appointments and canceling it.. I think my hair dresser is sick of me right now.
I am also very indecisive, keep it long?, cut it short? stay lighter? go darker? bangs or no bangs? highlights? lowlights?

Right now I am thinking about violet black for my color.

This way I can get my hair darker without feeling bored.  I am a gal who had every color of the rainbow on her head. So a little violet doesn't scare me.

This weekend is pretty packed, I will make an appointment for next Saturday and I will try my best to keep it.  Lord knows I need to do SOMETHING with the mop.

Non-Cooking Fridays

It's Friday! I call it "non-cooking Fridays"   This is the one day out of the week I refuse to cook.

Being a full time working mom, my weekday is really busy.

• I get up at 5am
• Drop off my son at my mom's
• go to work
• come home and cook
• feed Jacob
• feed myself and hubby
• clean dishes (Hubby and I take turns with bathing Jacob and doing the dishes so I will never have to do both on the same night)
• Bathe Jacob
• figure out what is for dinner the next night, take things out to de-froze and etc
• cut up some fruit for dessert  (This week is grapes and Jacob loves feeling them to me)
• then it's off to bed for story time 
• and then finally sleep

So on Fridays I do not cook nor clean! Hubby takes me out to a restaurant or we order take out.  This way I get to spend some time hanging out with Jacob before his bed time.

I think every mom deserve to have a night off at least once a week.
