working at the car wash, girl.

what a great day it's been.
i guess the greatness started yesterday, really. i called in to work and took a much-needed personal day. i slept till 11, which was glorious. my hair co-operated post-shower, and looked completely adorable in a sort of edgy way, if that makes any sense. we went to eglinton and i started my christmas shopping in earnest. while we were up there, joshua got a call from his new job [squee!!] asking him to come in and sign some paperwork later in the day. he's working at the eaton centre, so i figured i might as well tag along. while he did jobity stuff, i went across to the homesense at yonge and queen. i have a love/hate relationship with that store. i could have spend hours there. i went in with the intention of looking for a sushi set for my sister. they didn't have any, but i stumbled upon gifts for both lauren, and my brother's girlfriend kristin. such cute presents too. love it!
after the mall, we came home and chilled. just an easy night. pizza for dinner, watched a movie, snuggled. we're so cute. just before sleep, i took advantage of sugarpill's sale, and ordered some amazing loose powder shadows. stella, weekender, and darling will very soon be mine. love.
today i slept in again, tho only till 10ish this time. my friend emma came into the city and she, joshua, and i went for sushi for lunch. it was soooo good. i'm convinced that bikkuri makes the best hand rolls. the best tempura shrimp too. oh yes.
after lunch, emmers and i hung out for a few hours. she left at 5 and josh and i headed to winners and walmart. i struck out at winners, but walmart was a success. i got a bunch of things i'd been wanting to pick up for a while, like some new scrub pants, and an organizer for our takeout menus [yes, we have that many, and yes, i am that into organization]. i also bought some adorable christmas cards. and some gifts/stocking stuffers.
other than stockings, i'm done the major players in my gift-giving life. the parents are all bought for, joshua too. lauren and kristin are done. i know what to get aspen, i just need to find it. my brothers are the hardest part. does anyone have suggestions for tweenage boys? i'd prefer not to have to resort to video games, but i do want something they'll appreciate.
