My Christmas Eve

I hope you had an amazing Christmas Eve!!! This year I spent it only with my mom and dad, because my brother is in Mexico. My aunt invited us three to her house (she lives around the corner), but we decided to stay in and have a quiet and peaceful night. Before dinner, my dad and my mom told me stories about their childhood Christmases. I loved that they shared that with me, and it was fun to listen.
My mom was going to cook lasagna (vegetarian for me, yum!), but in the end we ate Chinese food, which I love. My dad let me drink beer, and after dinner, we put on our pajamas and we watched TV in their room. My uncle stopped by to pick up my cousin's new bicycle. They were hiding the bicycle in our garage for a couple of weeks, so that my cousin wouldn't see it; he is 10 years-old and still believes in Santa Claus.
I'm a very calm and quiet person, so this day was perfect for me, but tomorrow we're driving over to my grandma's. I'm happy to see all my uncles, aunts, cousins, and grandma; and every year we have tons of fun. I'm a bit fuzzy about seeing my cousin Sofia. She stayed over at my house, and apparently she doesn't know how to behave and I don't have any patience. So I kept on scolding her, maybe she told my uncle that I was mean to her; and that will cause commotion.

Right now I'm trying to figure out what to wear, I feel like I have nothing :[

Tomorrow I'm going to give my mom her Christmas gift. I got her a makeup brush (she has a horrible one), and a gift card to one of her favorite stores; that way she can get something she truly likes. And, I'm giving her my brother's gift, which she doesn't know about. He gave it to me the day he left, and told me to keep it a secret until the 25th. For the past days she's been like: "Your brother didn't even give me a gift, how mean...", so I can't wait to see her face when she knows about it :]

It is 11:30 now and "Sex and the City" is about to start, and I'll probably watch it tucked under the covers, I need to wake up early tomorrow to pick out an outfit, do my hair, makeup, and open gifts.

Goodnight,
Ana

Christmas Holidays! Yay!! Things I've Bought!

Today I had my last final at school. It was more like a final group project. I'm so happy that this semester is over, but at the same time, I'm going to miss my professors :[ I'm still at school because my brother is still in class taking his finals, and he is my chauffeur. Ok not really, if he would read this, I would have to forget about him driving me to school, LOL! But it is alright, I figured that as long as I have a computer with Internet, I'm happy :] And I'm actually using a Mac right now, Aww they're so pretty! I'm using it with XP because I have never used Mac OS before. I'm so relieved that classes are over, now I can dedicate more time to my blog.

I've been buying a lot of stuff lately, which I feel a bit guilty for :[ Here's what I've got:

A new coat! I've never had one, and this is so pretty. It is Guess (not that I care about name brands) and it was at a good price. I'm actually wearing it right now and it is so comfy and warm. It looks like this, but it is black (I couldn't find a picture of it):
A new flat iron! My old one works just fine, but I've read that this one works just as well as the CHI, but is half the price. I've seen them before at Sally's, but I thought that because they're generic, they wouldn't work. Turns out they are amazing! They used to have really cute designs before: cherries, stars, etc. Now they only have snakeskin prints. I really like mine; it is hot pink, almost neon. It does work very well; I especially love how it curls my hair. It makes it look so natural, something that curling irons never did for me. And obviously, it straightens hair very well, too.
A new desk! It arrived on December 3, as planned. I absolutely love it! It was so easy to assemble. I only needed my dad's help to bring the box upstairs to my room, because it was very heavy. My dad offered to help with the assembly, but I ended up doing it myself. It was super easy, I just needed to screw in the legs, and the little drawer knobs. I love how it looks in my room!!

So those are the things I've bought lately that where relatively expensive. But it seems like I'm not stopping there. I want a new MP3 player. I’m not falling for the whole iPod trend; I think they're overpriced and way too delicate. I have looked in four different online stores and I’ve narrowed down my choices to three. The SanDisk Sansa 4GB Fuze, in pink obviously:
The Creative Zen Mozaic 4GB, in black:
And the SanDisk Sansa 8GB Fuze, in silver (mainly because there is no other choice of color):

So that's about it. It is a very long post, but I just wanted to share all of this with you. Thanks for reading.

Love,
Ana
