I ordered a lame cheap advent calendar on Amazon thinking I'd get a nicer one next year. It came and is even lamer than expected. And the numbers aren't in order? Is that normal? I've never used an advent calendar before. Oh no! I just ordered one on Amazon because I was getting nervous that I wouldn't have anything for Friday. It's a Trader Joe's one, so I was hoping it would be safe.

I love that idea, @klongoria! Thank you!! And @nam, too! I don't know if I have time to pull it off before Friday, but I definitely might try. If not, I can prepare for next year! Hint, not all cubbies have to be filled by Friday 😉. True. But I really thought you and I were the same on this kind of stuff. No way I could do it halfway and not feel unsettled!

Josie's real set on a piece of chocolate a day Right, it’s just magnetic ornaments you attach to the tree each day. I’ve done the cheapy chocolate ones that @wine very accurately described as “waxy” lol. I didn’t want to do those again. Can Godiva pls make an advent calendar! ETA., sorry, it was you that said the chocolate was waxy. Wine said her calendar was “lame.” Either way, you both have me like 😆

Yikes trtlcrzy 105 would freak me out. I’m glad she’s doing better and I hope you get some sleep today! guster I have a wooden one that my dad actually made me when I was a kid, which is kind of a Sweet tradition. I’ve seen cute box ones at target and tj max in the last few days. And I never fill it all at once, my kids would get into it, I just stick something into it at night when I move the elf.

Morning! I have a dr app (ob) this morning, so I’m excited to hear the babe. Then I need to make a return at ulta and I think I’m going to treat myself to a ham and cheese crossiant. Dh is working late tonight on east coast time so I’ll probably throw sandwiches at the kids and let them watch a Christmas movie.tonights our only night without tball or baseball so I’m planning on relaxing

I should've gotten the one you fill yourself since C prefers fruity candy anyway!

We have a little stocking garland Advent calendar from Target last year. It's really cute and can hold a little piece of chocolate. Layla loves it.

Some advent calendars have the numbers all over the place. Not a fan! Ours has the numbers out of order because once the day has passed you turn the little box around and it's a picture. I didn't like that idea and put the numbers in order. A friend of mine said that they are supposed to be mixed up because searching for the number is part of the "game". Tell that to my OCD, the numbers should be in order!

Mine is kinda hard to read and I feel like for C it'll be easier for C to see how many days left if they're in order.

UO: I love the cheesy waxy advent calendar. I enjoy searching for the day and seeing what shape chocolate is inside. My mom always got one for us as a kid and even sent me one each year in college. Now she gets her grandkids one each year. C isn't on board with opening only one a day though.

They are filming in Austin this week. Also, are y’all still watching the Walking dead? I’m going to finish the season then I’m dumping it. I’m just not into it at all anymore.

I slept like crap last night and have zero motivation but a ton of work. My supervisor has a meeting and then wants to "catch up". I'm slightly nervous because my hot boss was going to talk to her at some point this week and tell her he wants me in that office more, which I want as well. But I am sure my supervisor will take it personally and drama will ensue. Why do I always have dramatic bosses?

I wasn't attached to any of the characters. I missed the most recent episode of TWD, but I'll watch it during the week. This season isn't very appealing as of yet, though.

I'm trying to finish Stranger Things because it's better than TWD at the moment. I"ll continue to watch TWD because I can't quit it. Andinplusalso Rick Grimes.

I still haven't gotten to watch Stranger Things. By the time Cadence is asleep, all I want to do is sleep.
I'm also now hooked on Call for the Midwife. I think I'm in Season 3 now.

I’ve been bingeing lots of Netflix shows lately. Basically I carry he iPad around the house while i clean. Life changing. Get to watch my shows without being a couch blob!
