Confessions...and maybe a couple rambles

I am feeling a bit bleh.  It could be that in the past couple weeks 3 things have happened to our credit cards/bank account/paypal and I am seriously annoyed.  It's all working out now, and we are okay thank goodness, but I am just over dealing with it.  Anyway, this is all I got today. 
  • I have been working on a blouse (V1275) and I screwed it up somehow...neckline is all stretched out.  I am disappointed that it is messed up because I love the fabric, spent a lot of time being meticulous with marking and following instructions (just because I never do and I thought it would be a good thing for me to do), and I feel defeated.  It's an easy knit blouse, and I am too sick to look at it right now.  I think I can fix it, but I am not dealing with it for a couple days.
  • I haven't sent out Christmas cards.  I am not sure I am going to.  I LOVE seeing Christmas cards, but we don't get any because none of our friends and family really send any out.  Is there really a point in us doing it?  I felt like there was because I wanted to, but then I started looking at the cost.  Although it isn't overwhelmingly expensive or anything, I just feel like it is pointless now.  I am still deciding if we are going to do them.  I found a design on snapfish I like that I can get printed at Walmart and it will only cost like $30 including postage for us to mail them.  If I do it, I am going that route. 
  • I ate McDonald's for breakfast (with a LARGE coke!)...and ice cream last night...and a huge bowl of pasta.  And I wonder why I gained 10 pounds since the wedding!
  • I have a mountain of dishes to wash, but instead I hung out with Ashton last night...we watched TV and had girl talk.  I needed it!
  • I have realized that I am a total child in my movie preferences.  Yes, I like some grown up movies like The Help and The Holiday and even things like Taken...but overall when I watch a movie, I like to escape and just laugh and see heartwarming things.  I have realized this about myself lately.  I watch Disney movies a lot (no surprise), I love musicals (happy ones, not Sweeney Todd and stuff), and the grown up movies I like the best are ones like Emma and The Holiday and Ever After.  I just realized this about myself lately.  Thomas and even Ashton have always described movies in terms of if it's a "Jennie" movie meaning happy, lighthearted, etc.  I just have really realized this is true of me lately...and I am ok with that. 
  • I have had my Christmas blog design ready to go since October, but I have yet to install it.  I NEED to do that asap!
I'm out of stuff to say today...I promise to work on some blog posts that are more interesting for the upcoming days.  I have stuff to say, I just need to sit down, download pictures, etc.
