Despite my last blog being super long, I still managed to leave some stuff out.  Ughhh.

So this blog post is going to be a TOTAL MESS.  It's just going to be bits and pieces thrown around EVERYWHERE.  So bare with me...

I decided to get Steven and me some personalized Christmas ornaments, since we just got married.  I thought it would be super special, because every couple seems to have them.  And I wanted something to kind of... Commemorate our first Christmas as a married couple.  You know?

I also felt like mine & Steven's room needed a small Christmas tree, too.  Just to make things a little more... Festive...?

When Steven and I went to Bath & Body Works, he saw a cute mini puppy dog.  It has a magnet on the belly area.  Apparently, it's meant to be a "topper" for their candles.  It's just supposed to stick to the top of the metal lids.  But it was adorable and cheap, so Steven wanted to get it for me.

When we went to K-Mart, Steven wanted to try the claw machine.  He told me he's never won anything out of a claw machine before.  I pointed at the purple lion and I said, "He's cute.  Try for him." And he won the purple lion on his first try.

We went to Target and had just passed the card section.  I was picking out a Valentine's Day card for Steven.  He has a REALLY bad memory.  So I told him that he should get some birthday cards for his family.  His brother's birthday was January 3rd, his grandfather's birthday was January 14th, and his grandmother's birthday is January 26th.  I got to help him pick out the cards.  Target had a card sale going on.  If you buy 3 cards, you get a free Valentine's Day hedgehog or monkey.  And I obviously chose the hedgehog.

One of the packages Bath & Body Works sent me, from an online order I placed, arrived damaged.  I was buying their Christmas stuff and the bottles came leaking and everything.  I contacted Bath & Body Works.  They told me they couldn't replace the products, because the Christmas products I ordered were out of stock.  However, they refunded the entire order PLUS sent me an additional $15 for the inconvenience.  So I used the refund to purchase my husband a bottle of Bath & Body Works Noir cologne.  Our favorite scent!

When Steven got done with work, one night, he wanted to swing by Publix.  I stayed in the car and waited for him.  When he came out, he was holding a HUGE Orchid!  My favorite flower!

We went to Five Below, one day, and Steven bought me 2 plush toy pillows.

We went to the mall, one day, and Steven got me a "Traditional Lantern" wallflower plug, along with 6 different scents, from Bath & Body Works.  And he also got me a nightshirt, from Torrid.  The nightshirt says, "Never Perfect, Always Beautiful." on it.

Steven bought me these 2 Tatty Teddies, for my Valentine's Day present.  They're coming from the U.K., so he wanted to make sure to order them super early, so they'd arrive in time for Valentine's Day.

Right: You're The Love Of My Life And The Only One For Me

I had another Bath & Body Works online order.  It was for more Christmas scents.  It was the "Winter Candy Apple" scent that everyone else seemed to be crazy about.  However, I guess I'm just not crazy over the scent of apples.  I don't know.  So I returned them to the closest Bath & Body Works store, while Steven was at work.  And I ended up using the refund to buy my husband 6 bottles of the Noir shower gel.  His Noir shower gel bottle was almost empty.  And instead of getting myself something, I wanted to get my husband something that he needed.  It was a surprise gift for my husband, so I made sure to grab a few of the ribbons and cellophane bags that you can take for free.  We both love the Noir scent, so this was something that was a gift for both of us.

Steven treated me and my father to brunch, at Denny's


Our meals.
I haven't been to Denny's in so long.

I wanted to get Steven and me some personalized return address labels.  I ended up finding these on eBay.  And I instantly fell in love with them!  However, we both agreed to get some more personalized return address labels that aren't "spooky".  They'd strictly be used for his family, since they're religious.  The cemetery ones might make them uncomfortable.

Okay, I'm done.  As you can see... ALL OVER THE PLACE!
