Have any of you guys walked into a Godiva store or tasted Godiva chocolates? After work today I met my friends and the mall and we walked into the highlight of my week. I bought a few truffles and tried a sample and I was in love. I am so obsessed with this store it's not even funny. I signed up for the rewards card so I get a free truffle a month and so yeah, I'll be trying truffles every month for a year. So worth it.


I worked every day this past week and the week before that so next payday I'll be banking. I'll be saving all of this extra money for Christmas gifts this year. For my Dad I'm thinking of buying a nice wine and splitting it with my sister. For my mom I'll be getting a cosmetics brush set and some make-up, and for my girl friends I'll be making these cute little baskets. I'm thinking of getting each of them a unique gift that goes with their personalities and then filling the rest of the basket with stuff like little VS lotion/mists, Godiva chocolates, personalized accessories, etc. (but with different scents/colors/designs). Something like that. Are you guys planning any gifts this year? 

I can't wait for Christmas. I'm going to get a wreath for our door, get a 3 ft. tree, some candles, akdfkjdsf. It's going to be great.

Sigh I feel super stuffed. Earlier my sister and I met our parents at Olive Garden and my sister and I shared a plate and we still got full. Now I have quite the food baby and I feel like taking a very long nap, so I'm going to go do that now.

I re-did my profile last night. Took me about 12 tries. I always feel like a jackass when I write about me's, does that happen to anyone else? I always re-write, even if I've thought about what I'm going to say beforehand. How would you guys describe me? Maybe I can put something in there like "What Others Think". It would feel more genuine to me.

Oh, and this is way late but if any of you don't really use LJ but you have a feed reader, add me to your feeds! (What readers do you use, btw? I'm curious.)

I can't believe it's already November. Just last year all anyone could talk about was the election, and voting, and politics. That seems like it was a few months ago. On the plus side, it's almost Thanksgiving and Christmas! My favorite holidays.

I'm already cutting back on spending and saving my paychecks as much as I can so I can go all out for Christmas. I've made lists for the few people I'm buying gifts for and now all there's left to do is wait. Classes end on the 15th so I can relax for a few days before Christmas all the way until January. <3 For my spring semester I'm thinking of actually taking classes on campus. There aren't many pros about going to class on campus but it'd be nice to actually be around people during class. I'll have to think about it some more. I already know that I want to join this social club thing that my friend is a part of, they do tons of activities and it's a great place to meet new people, so I'm really looking forward to that.

I've been drinking so much water lately. I'm trying to get my 8 cups in but it's so damn hard. Most of the time I want to give up because I feel like I'm about to burst. But it's healthy, and it helps, and yeah. I should probably list the benefits of water here for some motivation (for myself):

1. Studies have shown that not drinking enough water, dehydration, can be a key element in causing headaches, migraines, chronic fatigue syndrome and depression.
2. Water helps regulate body temperature, especially during exercise.
3. Drinking water regularly lessens the burden on your kidneys keeping us pollution free from toxins.
4. People who drink more than 5 glasses of water a day are less likely to die from a heart attack than people who drink less than two.
5. Drinking plenty of water is essential to maintain a good digestion which in turn keep your metabolism going.
6. Water primarily stimulates the circulation of blood, fluids, and the necessary elements inside our body. Additionally, it also controls and regulates the skin's natural balance.
7. Drinking more water can help to prevent overeating and benefit weight loss.

Yay water. I hope I can keep this up.
