Boy Meets World season 1 GIVEAWAY

I wanted to do something on my blog for Christmas, because it's Christmas and I love it. I wasn't going to, and then I was, and then I wasn't. But now I am.
 
I'm hosting a giveaway, all on my own. No sponsors or anything funny, just me giving you something.
 
 
One of my favorite ever tv shows growing up was Boy Meets World. I finally managed to get the entire series on dvd for myself, but in buying the boxed set, I ended up with brand new, sealed doubles of seasons I already had. So I'm giving season one to you.
 
This giveaway is inspired by the fact that it's been announced that Boy Meets World is going to continue - with Girl Meets World. Corey and Topanaga themselves are returning as the parents of 13-year old Riley. I don't know who else may or may not be returning, but this is exciting enough for me.
 
So enter below to win your very own copy of Boy Meets World season 1. And spread the word.

There's just no time

I've been struggling lately.
 
I survived the move without any kind of break down, but now that we're into the apartment, all the little stresses are getting to me.
 
And today they're getting to me big time.
 
I have reasons to believe that Chloe's back into teething mode. (Didn't we just get over that last tooth?) There has been excessive whining, and it looks like the rash is coming back.
 
There is barely anytime to eat. There is very little time to get stuff put away. I can barely keep up with the daily stuff like dishes. There's no time for groceries without Chloe going into major whine mode.
 
Boyfriend even spent part of his day off cleaning the old apartment for me.
 
I'm just too overwhelmed with stuff to do, and absolutely no time to do it.
 
That, paired up with budgeting and other personal pain-in-the-ass things, as well as work stresses, I am not keeping up so well.
 
I'm cranky. I'm stressed. I'm mean to everyone. I suck.
 
And ain't nobody got time for that.
 
But tomorrow, I think I'm going to do a small giveaway. Sponsored by just me and my money. So come back for that!

Time for some Holiday cheer up in here


This is how busy I am at work today.
 
But I'm taking a quick break to say hi.
 
We still have no internet at the new apartment townhouse. I can't believe we live in a townhouse.
 
I started organizing the basement last night. The basement where we basically threw everything to get it out of the main living areas upstairs. The basement where my craft area is going to be. You have no idea how much that excites me.
 
We put up our tree last night. It's lacking something, but I can't figure out what. It's artificial, and not a very full tree, and that makes me sad. It also means I need to buy a nice tree after the holidays when they're on sale.
 
Boyfriend doesn't know it yet but I might set up my smaller tree in the basement. Holiday cheer all over the place.
 
Oh how I love Christmas.
 
We watched Home Alone last night while we set up the tree.
 
I can't wait to do more Christmas shopping on my next pay day.
 
How are all your holiday preparations coming along?

Christmas Shopping and Moving Weekend

I don't want to forget about my blog in all the craziness of moving, which is this weekend, but even at work there just hasn't been any time. The hotel I work for hosts a Christmas dinner theatre and I've been working hard at booking, taking payments, doing seating charts and filling out the paper work. It's super busy, but I love it. And that's not even my original job - I'm still booking meeting rooms and all that regular stuff I always do. Oh how I love this job.

So I've been busy with that and moving, and everyday life.
 
Today I made a huge Christmas purchase, first thing in the morning at Toys R Us for our girls. Boyfriend was sweet enough to drive up with me in his own car, meet me there, I paid and he dragged it home while I went to work. I sure do love Black Friday sales when they work out in my favor.
 
I feel a little out of the loop since I'm lacking an "I'm Thankful" post this week, but I'm Canadian so I was thankful in October. I'm still thankful now, so read that post if you want a Thanksgiving-related one.
 
If not, you made it to the end of this boring post, and for that I thank you. Now I need to go get me a coffee. Hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving, my American friends.

So I took a sick day

Sunday night I wrote and scheduled a post, just recapping our simple weekend. I got up Monday morning at 6am with Chloe, thanks to the kitty, cranky but ready to face the day. I was up for about 15 minutes when I felt a wave of nausea. It passed. About 10 minutes later, another one.
 
And while I did not actually get sick, this feeling stayed with me on and off all day.
 
I know what you might be thinking, but no, I'm not expecting.
 
I'm not sure what I would've done otherwise, but I woke boyfriend up and he took care of Chloe's morning duties (feeding, dressing, packing her daycare bag), and took her to daycare with me. He had the day off, and had a cold so it was nice to have someone to spend my sick day with.
 
I took a morning nap and an afternoon nap, and they were just lovely, and much needed. I couldn't eat a thing most of the day. I just sipped on apple juice. I felt okay enough to go pick the girls up from daycare, but still felt tired, weak and a little shaky for most of the evening.
 
Finally, finally, I woke up Tuesday morning feeling weird, but not sick, and made my way to work. I've felt fine ever since, just extremely tired.
 
And that is the story of my sick day. And trust me, I don't have many.
 
Coming soon? Busy days at work and moving on the weekend.
 
Stay tuned. Or not. I might not be around much.
 
Here's what's been going on around here lately...
