By the Sea - Part 3

12/17/2011 @ 1:05 PM | Personal with 2 Comments

So this weekend I FINALLY did my Christmas shopping. As a matter of fact, most of it last night because I’m that slack.

I ordered one gift online last week which got shipped to a coworker yesterday while she was on her way to Georgia for her nephews graduation from Georgia Tech so I picked it up on my way home so no one would steal it.

Last night I hit up Wal-Mart for a gift card because that is what my coworker wanted for Christmas (I asked her). I don’t like guessing at things. Usually I get her a Kohl’s gift card.

My other coworker I usually get gift cards or if Avon puts out a special Christmas Barbie I will purchase one of those because she has been collecting them since she was a little girl and has amassed quite a collection which is insured there are so many and quite expensive now due to some of them being so old and in perfect condition. Anywho, I happened upon the B&N website and lo and behold they were offering a Christmas Barbie so I immediately bought it for her and it will be shipped this week.

Two of the physicians I usually buy wine for unless I can find some good Giants garb for one of them which I never scouted this year so they both get a bottle of wine.

Our nurse in the clinic I bought an O’Charley’s gift card from me and a coworker.

Now my boss is always difficult to figure out. He LOVES any electronic essentially. More gadgety more the better. I was unsure what to get him aside from the usual $10 iTunes gift card because he has everything Apple. Upon researching Hoth Cocoa which had Chewbacca I ended up on thinkgeek.com and found a cool iPad joystick so I bought that for my boss and will have to tell him NOT to use the gift card until he gets the package.

Anywhoo, what does all this have to do with the picture of my teeth? I went digging in my closet for the umpteen amount of Christmas cards I have to put the gift cards in and a scarf i’ve been missing and wanted to wear. So unpacking box after box I found an impression of my teeth that was done immediately after I got my braces off back when I was 16/17 years old. The top still look the exact same way but the bottom one does not. One of the teeth have turned inward a bit because I stopped wearing the night guards a LONG time ago. Probably almost immediately after I got the braces off because I didn’t care. Still don’t either. I found some of my old cross stitch stuff I had done. I also found the scarf *bonus*

Y’all have a Happy Holidays!

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Sprint for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

If you wanted a new smartphone for Christmas like everybody does and you also want it on 4G nows the time people. Spring is having a 3-Day sale going on right now. You can pick up any Android™ powered EVO 4G devices for FREE plus get your activation waived for new lines of service. I didn't type a misprint folks, the EVO 4G and EVO™ Shift are FREE for a limited time only. If you do not have a store close by you can order it online and receive free shipping from Sprint as well.

Knowing how expensive smartphones are I'd being jumping on that bad boy now if you are in the market for an Android phone. Everybody is wanting the bigger screen and definitely the 4G service. I actually saw someone on twitter the other day complaining they were not receiving the 4G speeds on a non Android phone and found it quite funny because I was receiving it on my phone and we use the same provider. The screens on these phones are really crisp is how I can describe it. Technology has come a long way and you'd swear it wasn't a phone you were looking at sometimes. The choice is a full touch screen or with the Shift a slide out keyboard along with the touchscreen. Get to your nearest Sprint store fast before the deal is gone.

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Slim-Fast for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

About 5-6 years ago I went over to the Weight Management Center here at our campus as they were starting a Slim-Fast study to lose weight. I got accepted and for 2-3 years I was on this study using Slim-Fast shakes and meals bars, meeting with the nurse and dietician at least once a month, and obtaining my coupons for the Slim-Fast product. I also had a regime of exercise that I wrote down in my food intake diary so they could adjust how many calories I needed to go down or up if I was losing too much weight too fast. I ended up losing about 80+ lbs over the course of that time period and now I am in a size 10. The shakes and meal bars are an excellent source of nutrition and most of them taste pretty darn good. I LOVE the Rich Chocolate Royale Slim-Fast shakes as they are the tastiest in my opinion followed by the Creamy Chocolate. I would keep a stash of the shakes in my mini fridge at work as that is what I would drink for breakfast.

Now the way the Slim-Fast 3-2-1 Plan works is that you have 2 Slim-Fast shakes or meal bars, 3 snacks or you can use the Slim-Fast 100-calorie snacks and a balanced meal. This along with exercise will do the trick for weight loss as well as keeping track of what you eat. I've proved that. Now I just watch what I eat to maintain the weight and continue to exercise. You can buy the Slim-Fast shakes at the store or online and be sure to 'Like' Slim-Fast on Facebook.

I've Seen Some Stuff

1. Monday’s are _________?
Annoying, painful, tiresome, a hassle. Umm, those are the only mild adjectives I could come up with. I despise Monday’s.

2. What is your favorite kind of milkshake?
Duh, chocolate. If I can get dark chocolate more the better.

3. What monthly bill do you most dislike paying?
It used to be my electric bill when I had a roomie because it was insane but since that is under control I guess my rent because that is the most expensive? I do not have any bills per say except for utilities and car insurance.

4. How many email addresses do you use on a regular basis?
I log into 4 separate accounts but my gmail acct has 4 other gmail accounts filtered into the one so 8.

5. What color lights are on your Christmas Tree?
I don’t put up a Christmas tree so therefore I do not have any color of lights.

1. I really need to clean my _________?
Yard. I meant to mow both lawns today as I always do my neighbors because she can’t as she has MS but by the time I was really motivated to do it the Eagles were getting to start. I still should have done the yards as bad as they played after the 1st quarter.

2. What food makes you think of Christmas?
This might be odd but pumpkin pie.

3. If you could choose to stay a certain age forever, what age would it be?
Hmm, I already look anywhere from 5-10 years less than what I am now. Would I have to actually live that time period as well? If not then I’d choose my late 20s some time.

4. What was your first paying job?
Taco Hell. I worked my way up to management before I even graduated high school.

5. Have you read the Twilight series?
Why yes, yes I have. It was a fluke really because I didn’t have any more books to read and one of my friends said here you would like this and gave me the series and I was hooked just like the Harry Potter books.
