I should probably rename this blog to Shopping Network. I noticed that my recent topics were usually about shopping and buying stuff online. I'm not usually this shopaholic, in fact my dearest friends can attest how I save money up to the last centavo. Well, blame it on the holidays and the need to spread cheer right?

So back to the topic, The Husband and I will be having another shopping trip tomorrow to buy stuff for ourselves.
- Santa clause outfit for Sandy and her baby cousin Chloe
- two blouses for me
- another shirt and jeans for The Husband
- Sandy's Christmas outfit and hopefully two pairs of sandals

I just can't stop myself in buying more toys that I bought Sandy a toy makeup kit, silver camera and a Little Mermaid phone. They each cost around 100-200 bucks so nothing biggie. I just want her to open as many presents as she can regardless if their cheap and expensive.

Shopaholic Mummee

Gosh I can't get enough of shopping. Can you imagine how addicted I am? I played hooky today just so I can squeeze some shopping time before we go full blown shopping tomorrow for the little girl. In my defense, I'm buying things for other people, to make them happy. I believe that it's better to give than to receive you know? So today, in a span of 2 hours, I bought 10 gifts which I wrapped quickly in 30 minutes. The little girl won't stop trying to help by putting scotch tape on all gifts that I had to re-do some of them.

Checking Out

I came across the MooseJaw site via my PUB assignment. My first impression is that I love the color scheme of the whole site including the layout. Almost all of our ecommerce clients in my company are into sports products so I make sure to take note the design of each sports site that I visit. I also liked the layout of the product detail pages and the tabs to display more info. I even tried to purchase some volcom clothing just to have a feel of the checkout process.

The big fuss

Every blog I go, someone wants to buy a laptop as a gift for themselves this Christmas. It's the new desktop. Even college students NEED to have one, either to make it convenient for them to study or just to upgrade their social status (I hope not). As for me, I only got one because my company shouldered the other half of the payment. I still feel desktops or iMacs are the way to go when it comes to graphic design.

Christmas Party - Girlfriends

Here are some photos from last week's Christmas Party with my college girlfriends. We may be 10-20 lbs heavier but we're definitely 10 years wiser. I love how we all evolved into caring women. It’s nice to see my once carefree girlfriends worry about things such as if there’s soy in the food, the weird color on the baby’s poop or if 26 months is already late for the not so talkative toddler. Of course, old habits die hard so there are few moments when all we can talk about are shoes, bags and clothes. Our favorite topic, hottest boys in town, is now a thing of the past since we've already found our best mates. Oh, except for the two single moms who adore their babies and don't give a d@mn whether they find anyone or not. It’s a fine, fine day.

Thong

I just had to try this quiz.




You are Thong Sandals



Trendy and modern

You're always seen in the latest styles

From glam to casual, you always look fantastic!



I'm not always updated with the latest styles but I do work hard to look good whatever I'm wearing :D

Can't get enough of shopping

Been browsing the Wilmington NC real estate website since this morning but I can't seem to finish my post about them. My mind is filled with shopping escapades and parties this coming weekend so I can't really concentrate. Sandy and I will be shopping on our own tomorrow for her shoes. I’m so excited to buy her a new pair after seeing the blogs of mommies posting their recent purchases. However, the Alice Crocs that I'm supposed to buy for Sandy is not available in Rustans (boo) so we'll have to make do with another style. December is really the best month. You can shop till you drop and no one will care, except your wallet LOL.
