The saga of Panera

So 400 dollars later and a ride from my good friend wayne, I finally got my car back around 4 o' clock today. So what do you do when you get you car back and you just happen to have your laptop handy??? You go to Panera Bread, play the sims and BLOG! Well lets just start with the fact that I had the BEST bowl of brocolli and cheese soup that I have ever had from Panera, even though they are asking 4.69 cents for it when like 8 months ago it was 2.99. Also I had the Chipolte Chicken sandwich and it was amazing! I really would recommend it to anyone who is going to Panera to order it! Well here is a pic of my oh so delcious meal tonight. Anyways so no trip to panera would be a success without a little sims action. I am in the process of developing my Oh so luxurious neighborhood of Anne Harbour - Where only the Rich and Tan survive... And it is taking me seriously 3 weeks to complete my luxurious beach apartments. But anyways who wants to hear me talk about that... I'm guessing no one? but after we left Panera Bread we headed back to The Chill spot to watch Momma's Boy: which was a ridiculous episode, the blonde from corpus christi was a mess.. I means if she said I didnt even get a date one time, one more time i was going to throw my shoe at the TV. We also watched The City: which was kind of dull and Bromance: which well do I even need to say.... It was ridiculous! But anyways Thi sis basically a weeknight in the life of Me and My Waynebow Bright!




Almost New Years.. Hopefully your getting your new years resoultions ready!

Twas the Day of Christmas

Well, Well, Well... Christmas this year was all in all pretty good. Im just thankful that this crappy econmy had no effect on this holiday of giving and receiving.

 
So lets start with the giving part of christmas, for anyone who knows me, knows that i take gift wrapping very seriously, as i always say Christmas is the super bowl of of gift wrapping for me. It took me approximately 10 stores and 3 hours to find the perfect wrapping paper and ribbon. But anyways here is a look at some of the final products all wrapped and bowed up. This was the year of all my gift recepients saying it doesnt matter what they get, which aways makes it a billion times harder to pick out the perfect gift for each person. But I managed to buy everyone all of the according:
  • Mom - 60 dollars in gift cards/Diamond Earrings
  • Dad - FSU Dad Polo
  • BFF Wayne - Sweater Vest
  • Little Cousins - Gift Cards and Art Sets
  • Grandma - Coach Scarf
  • Grandpa - FSU Grandpa Polo
  • Cousin Ashley - Make Up Set
  • Unof. Godson - A crap load of toys
There was some random gifts that i didnt list but im sure you get the point. Everyone seemed like they liked their gifts so i deem Christmas 08' a success in the giving department.

Next we have the good old receiving department. This year i received everything I wanted and more. Even my extended family did a great job in the gift department by supplying me with an abundance of gift cards.. Here is a list of some of the major stuff i received this christmas
  • Guitar Hero
  • A CHI Flat iron 
  • Yatzee (because Im a nerd)
  • Bath and Body works stuff
  • Gilmore Girls Final Season DVD
Let me just state for the record that my CHI is badass (it has rhinestones and all) and I would advise anyone with natural or natural curly hair to buy one, It really performs miracles :) 
But anyways I have been playing guitar hero allll day. It is so addictive and it makes me feel like such a rockstar when i play it! Even though I was blessed with everything i wanted, i am well aware that a lot of families had no christmas at all, which is why I always donate to toys for tots which i recommend everyone who is able to do. Because really, nothing is more satisfying then knowing you might have provided a christmas for a child who might not of had anything at all under the tree. 

Overall Christmas was a great ending of a decent year. I got to see my spoiled baby cousins smile and rejoice over there gifts. My grandma was elated the whole family was at her house to celebrate. And i was once again top dog of gift wrapping once again which was honestly no surprise ;)
And i got to whip my friend wayne ass in yatzee like i do in every board game and showed him who is the boss of all thing competitive... 


Anywho Merry Christmas to All and to all a good night!



Right about now...
What am I watching: Mars Attack
What am I listening to: To the Tv
What am I wearing: Devil Rays shirt and pajama bottoms
Where am I at: On my couch
I want: to go to the Mall tomorrow
A word to describe me right now: Blessed!
