Blogmas Day 8: Throwback Thursday- The Answering Machine Ornament

So my favorite favorite favorite ornament when I was little... and still now, even though we don't plug it in anymore to make it make noise... was an ornament that was a little mouse on Santa's answering machine! It had a button you could press and it had Santa saying "Hello, I'm off packing my sleigh right now but you can leave a message. Wait for the jingle bells!" Or something along those lines.

I'm not sure why, but I loved that one the best! We had other fun buttons to push, but that was the one I would always go to! I think it was the easiest to push and maybe the easiest for me to reach on the tree... my mom moved it closer to my side because I loved it so much!

I also like the simplicity of it. It isn't from a movie or anything... but its just got this mouse on it and its Santa's voice on the answering machine and that is just special!

So yeah... it isn't the prettiest ornament or the fanciest... but it was definitely always the most fun! And its a fun Christmas memory and I still always love putting it up on the tree! I'm definitely going to get a lot of push-button ornaments for my own tree when I have a family because they are just fun!

Hope you guys liked this fun little memory... I have another one for next week too because there were more Christmas decorations that I just kind of used as toys. Lol.

Bye!

Disney Store Closing Haul

So if you read my post from yesterday- you know that I love The Disney Store, but it is unfortunately closing. I did pick up some things from the store that I thought I'd share with you guys! I did get a couple of t shirts. One is a Star Wars shirt, which is technically a men's shirt but I thought it looked really cool and I don't like that Disney doesn't carry the same things for men and for women. For the most part they look unisex to me and a lot of their men's stuff has characters I like better. Like the star wars shirt for women was grey with pink lettering and had no pictures, but the mens shirt had a really cool metallic silver logo on black clothing with pictures of all the new characters and Luke inside of the letters... much cooler! So I got that! The other shirt I got is really funny and it has Sleeping Beauty on it and it says "I Woke Up Like This." Which I really liked! Super cute and funny and my niece likes it when I wear shirts with c...

Scribbles About TV: Jane The Virgin Finale Review (SPOILERS)

So.... Can we talk about all the twists because there were a lot! I didn't even see all of them coming! Alrighty we start out in typical Jane The Virgin Mode with Jane's choice between Raphael and Michael... I'd be okay with either but I think I'm team Michael. Jane has a weird moment with Raphael and thinks she's better off without him and just having him be the father of her child. She's also starting to have some feelings for Michael again. Then she almost has the baby on the bus and some woman helps her and gets the bus driver to take her to the hospital. Rogellio and Xo are in Vegas and they get drunk and can't remember what happens, but they make it just in time to see Jane deliver a baby boy. I knew it would be a boy! Lets pause on that a little and go to Michael and his ex partner/friend with benefits who comes back says she has a lead on Sin Rostro, gives him an address where the plastic surgeon is and by the time Michael gets there, he's de...

Scribbles About Life: 3.10.16

Soooo... I don't really want to post about my day... but I don't really want to post anything else either. I started writing something about female characters in movies and TV... but I just didn't like what I was writing and... idk... I was a blog writing machine this week and now I feel defeated. I wrote a ton on Monday and Tuesday and now I just don't feel like doing a post today... but I want to write still... So I'll talk about things that I guess are on my mind lately... Idk. So I got this Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor... and for some reason... I'm addicted to the way that it smells. Idk why, it smells like cherry medicine... but I also sort of like it. Its more cherry than medicine... and I can't smell it on my lips... but Idk. I keep smelling it in the tube. I got some cute stuff from American Eagle yesterday too! I got a dress and a romper... I do not own any Rompers... except this one... but it looked good on me and it didn't make me look f...
