This Week Ahead

Now that we're nearing the final week of November there's so much to look forward to!

• This week is Thanksgiving! I can't wait to spend it with my boyfriend. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays!
• Hopefully the mugs I bought back in September get here this week. I've been waiting way too long for them already!
• I'm making croquetas for Thanksgiving. I really can't wait to see what everyone thinks of them. I might even make some to take into work on friday
• I've also started shopping around for my boyfriend's Christmas gift! With any luck I can find something good this week.
• Black Friday is also around the corner, which is always fun even if I don't go out because where there's Black Friday, Cyber Monday isn't that far behind!

The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

The Good

• My friend has already made the banner for my blogs future Facebook page! And it is lookin' good!
  
  
• I am in love with my new hair iron! Plus I'm actually straightening my hair more often which is easier
• At work in order to get into the holiday spirit the manager gave us bells to wear. It's so fun and cheery
• I'm half way done with Christmas shopping already and I'm really excited to see what everyone thinks. I kind of want to just give everyone their presents now. I'm so bad at surprises

The Bad

• Even though we were supposed to go to Olive Garden we wound up just going to Denny's for my boyfriends birthday. Now, we usauly get the sampler platter because we love the mozzarella sticks, onion rings, and the chicken strips but for some reason half of the mozzarella sticks had the cheese all leaked out. Even worse all the ones like that were the ones I picked up -.-

• Some customers are unbelievably stupid. I wish they would understand that if they would be more clear or read things better it would make the whole process go far more smoothly. For example when you see a notice on a sign outside in the drive through don't just ask me what our "two classic something" is then get mad when I have no idea what you're asking. I'm not outside to read the sign and you're not even reading me the whole thing!

The Ugly

The leak in my ceiling has gotten much worse. It's gotten to the point where it even drips onto my bed now so I have to keep a towel there to catch the water. And now my pillows smell kinda mildewy. =(

Dr. D's Pet Package October 2013 Review

I know it's a month late but here's my review for the October Dr. D's Pet Package for Cats!

I had a very good first impression of the box because first of all, it was completely personalized. As in, it had Pappermint's name all over the place and a cute letter and everything.

Another thing O loved was that evertyhing looked very cute. The letter even had a little bow on top. Plus the letter had some tips to keeping your pet safe on Halloween!

Halo Healthsome Cat Treats-($4.18) 

One of the items in the box was these chicken flavored cat treats which Peppermint of course loved. I haven't really broken into them too much since she has four bags of cat treats but sometimes I like to mix them up and pop then into the food dispensing toy they sent me.

PetSafe Twist'N'Treat Food Dispensing Toy-($2.56)

At first Peppermint was greatly confused on how to use this but after awhile she got the hang of it and even now she sometimes bats at it to see if there are treats inside when I leave it laying around.

Zuke's Natural Purrz-($3.99)

This was the other bag of treats they sent which were Salmon flavored. I haven't given these to her yet since I have so many bags of treats left but I'm sure she'll love it since seafood flavored cat food is her favorite.

Pumpkin Catnip Toy-($6.95)

For some reason I didn't take a picture of this in it's original package but instead just took a bunch of pictures of Peppermint playing with it! Since I don't have the original package and the information letter is a bit vague on this one I just guessed at the price and compared to the other prices for the same type of toy it seemed reasonable, especially since it was Peppermints favorite thing in the box.

All and all the box was worth $17.68. It's a little under the $19 I paid but to spoil my cat it was well worth it. Especially since I know she'll continue to play with the toys and the treats will last me. It wouldn't be a box I get every month but it's definitely a box I'd like to get every once and awhile. If you're interested in buying one for your pet it starts at $19 and it's personalized to your pets likes and needs.

This Weeks Favorite

Book- What If...?

I read this recently and really liked it. It was basically a bunch of short stories written based on different prompts that started out with "What if...?". What I liked most about it is it sort of made me want to get back into writing.

Show/Movie- Pretty Little Liars

Now that I had finished Lie to Me and Gossip Girl I was at a loss for what to watch next. So when Pretty Little Liars appeared on my Recommended Shows on Netflix I decided to give it a try. Wow, my mind was blown. In a way I expected Pretty Little Liars to be a not as good Gossip Girl but boy was I wrong. It's just as good if not better than Gossip Girl but I still think they should have gotten Kristen Bell to be the narrator as "A". =p

Food- Waffles

Anyone who knows me should know that I love waffles. Not only do I love waffles but I love them way more than I like pancakes. The sad part though is that I almost never get to eat waffles because everyone else likes pancakes. At least my boyfriend lets me make waffles as long as I make him eggs and other stuff. 

Beauty- Remington Wet 2 Straight Flat Iron

I've been looking for a flat iron for a long time so I wouldn't have to borrow one all the time. Plus if I don't borrow one all the time I'm more likely to actually straighten my hair. Anyway, I finally bought one and I LOOOOVE it. It works really fast and even though there were some complaints in the reviews about it I haven't had a single problem yet.

Misc.-  Tights

I'm really unlucky with tights and whenever I buy new ones they always manage to rip. This time though I bought pretty good ones and they reminded me how much I love wearing tights! They're so comfy and they look great with so much! Too bad my cat dress is too short to wear comfortably now.

Random Thoughts

I'm finally back for real this time which means I'll be catching up on all of the reviews and things I've missed!

• I have so many reviews to post up I think I should hire an assistant!
• Next month I'm going to start my Facebook page and Instagram for my blog
• My boyfriend lost his phone at the grocery store a couple of days ago but thankfully his new phone should arrive today
• I got a new flat iron so I can't wait to feature that in my blog. Expect it for This Weeks Favorites ;)
• I've also started Christmas shopping early this year! I'm thinking of putting together a subscription box type thing for my Mother-in-law and Stepmother. What about you guys? What are your gift ideas this year?
• Thanksgiving is coming up next week! Luckily my boyfriend got the day off so we'll go half-and-half with our families. I'm going to make croquetas too! What are your plans and is there anything special you're looking forward to eating? I just love stuffing!

The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

The Good

• My Stitch Fix is supposed to arrive in a few days! Plus I kinda peeked at what to expect and I'm extremely excited!
• I've been using the cook book I got from my PopSugar October box and everything has been coming out great.
• JubyPhonic did a cover of the theme song of one of my favorite animes and it is amazing!

The Bad

• I've been really busy lately plus with my being sick a couple of weeks back my stomach is still pretty weak
• Nothing ships on Monday so I might wind up getting all my subscriptions delayed which also sucks!

The Ugly

I think that my stomach illness has brought back my lactose intolerance. Every time I try to eat something cheesy or with a bit of milk I feel bad all day. My lactose intolerance hasn't been so bad for a few years. =(

This Weeks Favorites: Note to Readers

Unfortunately I'll be skipping out on this weeks favorites since it's again been a sort of hectic week for me and I'd only be able to fill out like half the list. BUT you can rest assured that I will be back next week better than ever with a lot to share with you guys. This week I'm just playing catch up. Or trying to at least.

Random Thoughts

I didn't post this up yesterday so here you go! This weeks random thoughts!

• My PopSugar, Stitch Fix, and Julep Boxes have shipped and I'm going crazy waiting even though I already know what's in two of them. I'm so bad at surprises and waiting for stuff haha...
• With that said I'm super excited for my PopSugar Box especially seeing as I love everything in it!
• I've been getting a lot of pain in my knees recently. I wonder if it's partly from work. Maybe a knee brace type thing would help?
• Peppermint is so silly! Even though she's always jump/running from my computer chair to the window at my bed today she over shot and head butted the window. Silly kitty!
• Yesterday before I went to work my brother bursted into my room then was like "Oh, I thought you were gone already." Whaaaat? How bizarre! What the heck does he do in my room when I'm away?

The Week Ahead

Hey everyone! Sorry I've been down and out the past week. It was a bit hectic for me and by Saturday I just decided I might as well take the weekend off too. But this week I'm back!

• This week I have a few reviews to post up including a couple from October
• My PopSugar and Julep boxes should be shipping sometime soon, which is great
• This week I'm going over to N's house and we're going to make sushi! (or try to) I'll post up the results afterward!
• It's November so that also means I've started up my countdowns to my boyfriends birthday AND Thanksgiving!
• I finally got off the waiting list for Ipsy! Which means I'll be getting that this month as well. I'm so excited for it
