SUPER Advent!

It’s greyer than grey here, so the pictures are going to suckx0r, sorry.

Dude, who is going to have the sweetest advent calender at their house? Um, me! My mom Bill and I are doing a super advent this year. 24 days of fun! I made all the tags up last night. We are each getting eight little gifts (I was like, hey lets all get 7 gifts, and their like, youΒ  mean 8? Um ya) and wrapping them up cute. Then I will randomly distribute these tags. They are going to have a little riddle or trivia on the back, written by the person who got that days gift. Who ever gets the question right gets the gift. Cool huh? Well I’m excited for it. I’ll put pictures up later of the whole thing together.

These tags are totally jiving with me. I was a little weary about having to buy a THOUSAND so that all my jars could have the same tag, but I’m anal like that (Virgo what can I say), so I had to. But I am finding tons of uses for them:

Oh I just realized I didn’t write what I have of Empire on the tag, oops. Maybe it was because I was distracted by the fact that the binder it is on doesn’t match. Ahhhh. I got it before Quickutz started selling zippered ones. It’s really bugging me, but I can’t justify getting a new one just to match, can I? Now see why I am selling the Stiletto Katie? I have a lot man! Wow, these socks really work with those colors, hehehe.

On a totally separate note, went to the dentist yesterday, cleaning, and I have NO CAVITIES!!!  I eat a crap load of candy, plus I have some kind of genetic low enamel level so this is good news, especially since I don’t have dental insurance. Oh and I asked for a new case for my midnight torture device (otherwise known as bite guard), and they gave me one of the fugliest things I’ve ever seen in my life. It is absolutely gigantic and the sickest color brownish pink I’ve ever seen. Ugh. You try and keep ugly and poorly designed things out of your house and they just get in here, ahhh. I might actually have to try altering it some how…
