Autumn-Winter vibes

It's December! Oh my goodness, how did that happen?! This year seems to have gone ever so fast. I just feel like I was getting ready for Christmas not so long ago. Happy 1st December! Anyway! Let's talk about Autumn-Winter vibes. The days are getting colder, I can really feel the difference. Mostly when I get up in the morning as it takes ages to warm up. Lots of extra coffee and porridge helps! 

The leaves have been so beautiful recently. Every time I look up or down I love seeing those beautiful leaves all over the place. Autumn is really here and alive indeed! I have been getting super excited for Christmas. Time seems to be going so fast, so I'm making the most of everything Christmassy. You know how it is when you keep working, and time passes by. I always think I have loads of time for christmas actives, movies, food dates, coffee dates, but work gets in the way, so I am trying to start early so I can get it all squeezed in.

I am pretty proud to say that I have done most of my christmas shopping. I mostly wanted to get it done because when you work in retail, you don't really want to be going out shopping in December. When you come home from long hours in a store, the thought of going out through the shops fills me with dread. So just a tiny little bit left to do! Thank goodness. Other than shopping I have been listening to my favourite christmas albums. These include She and Him, Cameron Mitchell & Aprilemade, oh and listening to this song over and over and over. This song really makes me feel christmassy. It's now one of those traditions for myself and David to watch A Very Murray Christmas every year now.

i wish i was a pot ledom

it feels like winter now. having to get up at 5am to get ready for work, and then to start at 6am...makes it feel very winter-like. its dark....i feel half asleep. plus, its really cold at the moment. i know in my house we have always been put another jumper or cardigan on instead of turning up the heating...but its ever so cold. i feel my nose turning to ice as i write this.

recently i have mostly been going to work, coming home and watching programmes wrapped up in a giant blanket while drinking so much tea. my parents drink many many many cups of tea, therefore i am ending up drinking alot too. well, i also got my first egg nog latte of the season yesterday from starbucks. oh i love it so much.

i have been watching the new series of America's next top model...or all stars, as the new series has been called. last week they had to make up songs. i am in love with Allison's song. like, seriously, its on replete all day long! and its only 48secs long. its brilliant, plus its so catchy you end up singing it all day. i love Allison. i always wanted her to win her cycle.

off to wrap up in bed for a bit and watch a movie...maybe eagle vs shark, as i was gonna watch that the other day but didn't get round to it. off out tonight to see one of my best friends for a catch up, which will be lovely.

wishing for wonderland

ah its getting colder outside, and my current obsessions includes trying to track down some eggnog...which is proving quite hard. ever since when i was a little kid, watching all the cool American Christmas movies, i have always wanted to try eggnog, and this year i want to find it...but my search isn't going well. any ideas? if i cannot find it, i think i am going to try and make my own. apart from that, i am currently looking forward to listening to my Starbucks winter wonderland CD while i wrap Christmas gifts...eek not long until Christmas!!
