It's da brat-tat-tat bustin' out on that ass.

Hiya.
So, first lemme start with...I don't like Bloglovin. It confuses me, & I can't change my picture yet because I refuse to have it connected to my FB account. They said that they would eventually have it fixed to where we could change our pictures in other ways. So for now, I'm still rocking that blue heart. I don't know how to post from it. Is it just for reading?! Or have I just not figured it all out yet?! I'm set up on it and all, but I'll probably continue to use my Blogger dashboard until (1)I figure it out, or (2)until it won't let me...whichever comes first. You can still Follow me on Bloglovin' though, if you haven't already. :)

Today is Naughty Talk Tuesday. Link up with Nicole! It's a link about sexy time. I'll post mine separate from this post.

Now, I'm gonna have a bit of a selfish moment.
Don't hate on me for it.

I wish people around me would think like me.

For example, pictures.
It's rare that there is someone else that likes to capture everything in pictures, besides me. It's not that it never happens. But when I want it to, it seems like it doesn't. Let me elaborate a little. You're on an outing with lets say some friends. & you (being me) are snapping pictures, it's fun and memorable and junk, ya know? But wait....you're not going to be in anyyyy pictures because YOU'RE THE ONE TAKING THEM. & Let's face it, selfies aren't always the way to go. Sometime you'd like to be in a few nice candid shots instead of always being the one taking it. This has been an issue to me for as long as I can remember, because I was always the girl with the camera. One question I always want to ask photographers, because on normal circumstances they are more than likely always the picture taker, is "does it ever bother you that you are in minimal pictures because you're always the one behind the camera?" It's actually funny to me that it bothers me, because I'm rarely satisfied with pictures that I'm IN,..but it's just the simple principal that you can show people pictures of where you've been and who you were with and all the fun & then it's like "well where are you?" Behind the f'kin camera, as always. Not complaining about that part, but it's the fact that no one even offers "oh hey, let me take one now so you can get in on the picture." Oh & when they do, or when you finally ask, they snap a quick shot & then that's it. I actually take the time to try to get a good picture of/for you. Is it really to much to ask to do the same for me. If you look unflattering or something isn't right to me, I'll say "let's do another" Or "let me get a couple more". Them...nah they can't be bothered with that.

Gift giving..
I may be part of the 1% with this, but I usually pay attention when my husband or anyone in my family says "I want [something]" I feel like no one does that for me. I've even become very outspoken at times with saying I WANT THIS. When it comes to Christmas, I STILL make a list. Why? Because if someone asks what do you want, I can give them the list & there's no excuse for "well you never told me what you liked or wanted." Um, no. I have a list...it's about 5 or so pages long and very specific. (I wish that was an exaggeration, but it's not....In my defense, it's not actually a "Christmas list"...when I see something I want at anytime I write it down,...for ME. It just comes in handy when some sort of gift giving holiday comes up....also 85-90% of the list is CD's & Movies I want...again, not an exaggeration. I think I have 5 pages front and back of just movies. lol When I buy myself something, or if I happen to receive it as a gift, it get's marked off, but the list is for me.)

Cleaning..
Hubs & I still live at home, my home. We have 5 adults living in this house. No, I'm not kidding. FIVE.
Cleaning can be quite the chore. Everyone is suppose to clean up after themselves, work together, blah blah blah. I can clean, I don't like to but I can....When I get in a cleaning mood, I HATE that I can't clean. Why can't I? I like to be ALONE when I clean. Why? Because I refuse to clean with someone else sitting on their ass. I'm not cleaning around you. I don't even want to clean in the next room. Leave, go visit with someone or something. If you want me to clean, scoot! Huntin' seasons are my best friend because it's the only time I get chances at getting the house alone! Everyone's gone to the club for the weekend. It's leaves me with the option to do whatever the fuck I want to do...& clean. lol

It applies to way more areas of life, theses are just the examples & areas that came to mind right now.
Okay.
Look, I know how ridiculous I may sound.
But please tell me I'm not completely alone in this?! Haha


Now that I've given the impression that I'm a completely spoiled brat, I'm gonna go sulk in my room...
Okay not really. LOL
I'm gonna do another post & then go clean something downstairs (where I'm alone), or put together my dresser for my bathroom! :)

Have a fantabulous Tuesday.

This Christmas...

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!

I kind of can't believe it has already came and went & that this week is already half way over...

Christmas Eve was so fun, we did Christmas with my side of the family the first half of the day & then Dougs' moms' side of the family that night. There is never a dull moment at his Nana's, that is for sure! And it always ends in story telling and LOTSSS of laughing. I told my mother-in-law last night that if anyone ever wanted to become a comedian in their family they would have PLENTY of material to use or draw inspiration from. Seriously, lol...

We spent the night at her house so we could wake up and open presents with her and my bro-in-law. Nice relaxing morning. Then we had to stop at my Granny's then it was off to Doug's Aunts to see everyone.

Then home! We waited to open what we got each other today instead of doing it with everyone else around.

And EEEEK! I love what he got me--a pair of Beats! Blue ones!

I loves them so much!! I'm baby-handling them a little. lol They're my precious!

He got a PS3 (that came with Assassins Creed III & also the Assassins Creed Trilogy game fo freeee!) from me.

Wifey Points!

(I'm excited about the ps3 as well!!)

Anywho, I'm very happy when what I got, some of which was unexpected. 

I got: 

A pair of Converse (my FIRST pair EVERRR)..I knew I was getting those though cause I designed them.)

An MP3 player (unexpected but SUPER f'kkin excited about it, mine went on the fritz like a year or so ago)

The Exorcist (Yeaaaa!)

Miranda Lambert-Crazy Ex-Girlfriend

An Old Navy shirt (I bought it myself with my Granny's money, it's from my granny for doing her Christmas shopping--she was with me when I picked it out.)

A Kate Spade make-up bag (from White Elephant)

2 Camis

Bo Burnham: Words Words Words DVD (SUPER excited about this too)

Incubus- If Not Now, When?

The Book Of Lost Things by John Connolly!

Some earbuds

A pair of flats (also my FIRST pair of those, lol)

"Jagger Swagger" shirt!

Pair of gloves

A framed picture of my beautiful niece

A little cash & a gift card

& My Beats.

If I had to pick a fav..so far it would probably have to be My Beats! Hubbalub did good.

Above all, the family time was great. As I said before, lots of smiles & laughs! If someone could have just been a fly on the wall last night...L-O-L! & I was let in the loop that there is a new baby on the way. (no, not me :( ....) But I'm super excited for them! And I loved watching my niece and nephew open their piles of gifts. They loved everyting they got, which was a bonus. And as far as I know everyone liked what my Granny got them (which means I did good shopping!)

There was only one little bummer for me, but I'm trying to let it just kinda roll off my shoulders so I won't talk about too much, not right now anyway. We all know that not letting yourself get down is sometimes easier said that done.

That being said, the good FAR outweighed anything that could be a damper, so it's been a bit easier to not dwell right now.

I am definitely super blessed and content.

Me & My Scruffaluffagus

Thank goodness that beard will be going away soon!

Gonna leave you with this, I saw it earlier online & had to watch, glad I did. I absolutely love this video..it made me cry a little, I'll admit it. Such a priceless reaction! :)

How was your Christmas? What did you get? What was your favorite thing? (whether it be a gift or quality time.)
