Mood: Piles of shiny

Shiny #1) First off: Sex and the City. Fabulous. Exclamation point. I got to wear my new dress for the first time and my new heels for the second (and painful) time; we stopped at Moxies to eat before the show and it was packed with half of the female population of Northern Edmonton and St. Albert all going to see SatC. The movie itself -- I luuuurved it, it wrapped up the series so nicely and I spent the entire two and a half hours giggling and flailing and smiling and exclaiming "I love (insert every different character's name here at various points through the movie)." I may have to go see it again when I won't have to worry about fighting a tramp squad of bitchy girls for stealing our saved seats and want to kick them in the face with my high-heeled shoe.

Shiny #2) This was an exciting weekend for my hair in particular. I finally sucked it up and forked over the money for a hair straightener, and while I don't regret the purchase we have a little bit of a love-hate relationship that we're going to have to work on... If we can get past the whole "omg the evil fucker wants to scald my flesh off!" and assorted related stress that comes of that, then we should be in a happier place. It's not something I would do every morning (as much as I wish I had the patience to though, because it's nice to be rid of my accursed hair wave.) I also realized yesterday that my hair has finally grown long enough to put up! *GASP* Look! Ponytail! I suddenly have all these new choices of things I can do with my hair~

Shiny #3) Nickie got a CUTE DWARF BUNNY! :D He's tiny and black and furry and adorable, and I shall call him Frodo. When she texted me about it I flailed and squee-ed until we went over to see him, and then I vaguely remember an excess of gushing and more flailing. Game nights at Brock's are going to be an extra point of awesome now with a fuzzy animal to cuddle~ YAY FOR NICKIE'S BUNNY!

Shiny #4) I bought myself a Nintendo DS! And it's pink! :B Hee hee hee! I love it, I can finally play all the cute girly games that no one else wants to get, like Nintendogs, and Animal Crossing. I got an obscure little game called Cooking Mama and it's terrifying how addicted I am to it. (It also makes me unbelievably hungry and I occasionally have to stop and go make myself a late-night snack of pasta or something equally delicious so I can play again.)

Shiny #5) We finally got tickets booked for our Carnival cruise in January~! Seven days in the Eastern Caribbean, and the ship is completely decked out. It's going first class on the sea, baby -- it's going to be sweet~ *Can't wait*

I'm off to play more Cooking Mama now. *Skips off*
