~Now that I think about it, this weekend wasn’t as unproductive as I originally thought. We took the boys for a mini session with these ladies (who know I am totally stalking them for a sneak peek) and then went to lunch at new place we have been wanting to try. B and L went to the Lions game yesterday afternoon and the rest of the weekend was spent doing assorted chores around the house with some relaxing mixed in. All four of us actually sat on the couch at the same time and watched (part of) a movie as well. And that was probably my favorite part of the weekend ;).

~I didn’t do a Latest Additions to the Subscription Box List update post yesterday and may or may not do one this week. I’m guessing with the holiday week new box launches will be on the slow side, so I might just do a combination post. We’ll see. In other subscription box news, I am expecting an assortment of boxes this week including Austin Lloyd, bluum, Cultured Owl, PijonBox (the December one) and FrisqueBox. I am guessing it will be a fairly slow week, unlike last week which was box crazy!  Also, the “Subscription Box Reviews” tab is totally up to date now and includes all reviews done to date.

~Did anyone watch the AMA’s last night?  Not too exciting in my opinion.  Did anyone else think the sound was off for Katy Perry?  That performance sounded so off.  Or like it wasn’t turned up or something?  Was it just my tv?  Miley’s performance made me feel drugged and also like she needed a pair of these cat leggings.  And my neighbor actually said that exact same thing on Facebook.  I was cracking up.

I don't even know.
I don’t even know.

~B doesn’t have school tomorrow or Wednesday night and actually isn’t working Wednesday either (B claims he told me all this, but yesterday was the first I’d heard), so I am super excited about that.  L doesn’t have school Wednesday either, so I need to figure out something fun for us all to do.  Any ideas?  Science Center maybe?

~B and I just started watching Dexter and yeah, that’s another show that makes me nervous.  I think that’s the sign of a good show though.  Breaking Bad and Homeland have the same effect and I love those.  We are still on season 1 so clearly we have a long way to go, but it seems like it’s going to be a good show for those winter nights.  And yes, we are clearly way behind on this.

~And finally, I don’t know how this is possible since it’s not even December, but I feel like I am behind on Christmas stuff!!  I’m doing well on my shopping and have plans for a lot of other things, but I’m seeing all these trees and decorations and realizing I have a lot to do this weekend.  So much for getting it all done early and enjoying the season right? Although, I have “fun stuff” scheduled for every weekend in December so maybe that’s why I feel the pressure to get all this done now?

~That’s about it from here this morning.  What’s going on for you this week?  And how was your weekend?

    I have started watching Dexter about 3 months ago, now I’m on season 6. So far season 1 is the best. I keep getting comments and weird Facebook friend invitations because my name, I’ll leave it there you have to keep watching it. Homeland and Breaking Bad are great shows as well. My hubby and I are dressed up as Jesse Pinkman and Walter White for Halloween. Watched AMA and I don’t know why, Rihanna performance was interesting, looked like she needs to run to the loo.

      I want to see a Halloween picture of you two!!!!! I bet it was awesome!

      Why did you stop??

        Not really sure – If the season 6 and on are on netflix I probably should just finish it

    Oh cat leggings would have totally made that outfit. I was hoping with that being such a powerful song she would have come out classy and just sang without all the extra stuff. She didn’t need it. I agree the overall show was pretty boring. I was suprised by Lady Gaga since there is a parody out there by the Hillywood Show that has the same idea as her performance.
    I’m hoping to decorate this weekend sometime but we’ll see how it goes. We have a pretty busy one and then every weekend is busy in Dec. Things go so fast.

    1. Jennifer

      they do go fast! I wonder if her performance was inspired by the cat leggings???

    I didn’t finish watching the AMA’s yet so I haven’t made it to Miley’s performance yet. I saw who I needed to see (Justin Timberlake) but I’ll definitely finish up the rest of the awards tonight.

    Dexter…you are going to love it! We started it a few years back on Netflix and couldn’t stop. I am still in the process of watching the final season (we had a few months of Showtime for free this fall which ends pretty soon) . I’m not stressing it though because the last half of the seasons including the final one are due to be on Netflix in January. So excited!

      Thst gives me plenty of time to finish the first seven seasons then 😉

    I figured you would have watched Dexter already! One of my favorite shows. Enjoy!

    I’m way behind on Christmas stuff. I *hope* that we’ll be ready to put decorations up this weekend, but we’re in the middle of a bed switch/room reorganization that is taking more time than planned…

    1. Jennifer

      I don’t know why we haven’t watched it sooner! Everyone always raves about it!

    Just finished Breaking Bad on Saturday hated it ending. I want more and more. I started on Scandal and I love that the season is long I made it through one season in a day and a half so I might finish Scandal second season quickly hopefully netflix doesnt take long to add season 3. I also am trying to get into Orange is the New Black but its a little harder to get into. But I admit if I didnt force myself I would have stopped with Breaking Bad it takes awhile to get to the plot.

    1. Jennifer

      You hated the ending?? Really?? I loved it!

      Ahhh, I ove Orange is the New Black! Is Season 2 out yet? I couldn’t get into Scandal. I need to give it another go because everyone raves about it!

    Miley could have done the song in a classy way, but seems to feel the need to be outrageous all the time. It’s sad, because she’s talented enough that she doesn’t need the silly antics.

    Um, why are the furbabies in a rolling basket?

    1. Jennifer

      Oh, the boys like to push them around in the laundry basket. They are pretty tolerant dogs!

      I know. I like that song but she’s got to get an outerspace crying cat background while singing. Weird.
