Thanksgiving Weekend Update

I had a fantastic Thanksgiving with my in-laws. My sister-in-law got engaged a day or two before the holiday, so it was wedding talk extravaganza at the Favors household. Food was plenty, alcohol was flowing freely. (I may or may not have gotten sick from too much champagne..may or may not..)

Favors family tradition is the "In Bed" game with fortune cookies. This was mine. Boom.

Yesterday (Black Friday) consisted of heading over to the local mall so Hubs could go to Express (they were having a 50% everything in the store until noon). The mall was not busy at all, I was surprised. I normally do not, repeat DO NOT participate in Black Friday. I refuse to sit in the cold at 10pm waiting for stores to open up at midnight to get a good deal. I'd rather sleep in my warm bed! Hubs really wanted to go to the mall, so we decided to get in and get out with a mission. We went to two stores, Express and Nordstrom (only because we parked at Nordstrom). Hubs bought a new pair of pants and a sweater at Express. I got a new pair of pumps at Nordstrom. It wasn't that good of a deal, but I loved the fact that they were nude patent leather and not pointy. As I'm typing I am currently wearing them to break them in. I plan on getting a lot of use out of them with two work Christmas parties to attend this year, and two weddings in 2013 already lined up.

After getting out of the mall in under an hour (hallelujah!), we headed down to the Tacoma waterfront to grab seats at a local restaurant/bar to watch the highly anticipated Apple Cup. Washington State University vs. University of Washington football rivalry. What's not to enjoy?? I was the only person in our group rooting for WSU and one of the only Wazzu fans in the bar in general. It was so nice to see all the Husky fans let down :)

Much love,

Relaxing Friday night

Work has been INSANE this week. My supervisor and a co-worker were both out, so I was covering for both of them. Needless to say...I'm pooped.

Did I also mention that I am on call this weekend? No? Well, I am. So I'm having a quiet night in drinking tea and getting my Christmas cards addressed. Early, yes, but it's better to be early than late in my opinion.

Have a great weekend, loves!


Much love -

November weekends

When it's a cold, blustery day you don't want to do anything other than lay under the covers in your comfortable bed and either watch movies or play on the internet. There are lot of things I should be doing, but am I? No, I am not. I'm on Costco's website picking our Jason and my's first Christmas card...due to the icky weather, it is proving to be more difficult that I originally had planned..

I've just told myself that I need to be more productive, so as soon as I order our Christmas cards, I will be starting to get dressed (still in my pj's at 3:42pm - so pathetic...) and ready to go to the Super Mall in Auburn for a fundraiser with my mother-in-law and sister-in-law. If you don't know, the Super Mall is basically an indoor outlet mall. The stores I usually go to are Nordstrom Rack, The Loft Outlet, Banana Republic Outlet and Victoria's Secret. The fundraiser tonight is you give a $5 donation at the door and get every better discounts that you ususally do. There will also be music and such. I don't know much about it, but I heard more discounts and I invited myself to this shin dig.

1, 2, 3...here I go!

Much love,
