My Husband is a Cheapskate
Posted on December 13, 2011 by Ching under Shopping.
So Brian and I checked our mail today after work and we didn’t really get anything except for junk mail per usual. Although, I did get a $25 gift card from Ann Taylor. I love gift cards! LOL.
ME: Ooh! $25 to Ann Taylor!
BRIAN: Do you want to go to Bradley Fair after dinner?
ME: I doubt I can get anything there for $25.
BRIAN: It will be my Christmas gift to you.
I get him a Citizen Eco-Drive watch for Christmas and I get something from Ann Taylor using my $25 gift card so all he has to do is pay the difference? Really? What the heck, man?! What a cheapskate!
P.S. I really want a gift certificate for a pin-up photo shoot with Aleycia for Christmas. It’s good for six months so I’ll have enough time to lose the extra ten pounds that I still need to lose in order to look somewhat decent. ~hint~ ~hint~

My New Bow Belt
Posted on December 10, 2011 by Ching under Shopping.
I wore my new bow belt for the first time yesterday. I’m not quite sure what other outfits I can wear it with. I mostly just got it because I thought I could wear it with my tacky sweater. Unfortunately, it doesn’t quite work with that outfit. The belt is super cute, though. I think it will go really well with my Brighton Roselie coin purse.

Ching’s Mardi Gras Christmas Tree
Posted on December 10, 2011 by Ching under Things to Do.
Brian helped me decorate my office on Tuesday night. We wouldn’t have been there so late except we didn’t really have a plan. We just had all of these random holiday decorations and didn’t know what to do with them. We finally decided to just make a Christmas tree shape with the white garland.
Here’s the result. It’s a little tacky, but oh well. We had fun making it. Sorta.
I don’t usually decorate, but all of the decorations going up at work inspired me. My coworkers are so creative! I’ll try to take pictures of the most festive cubicles at work next week and share them with you guys.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Posted on December 8, 2011 by Ching under Movies.
I’m really looking forward to the American adaptation of Stieg Larsson’s Män som hatar kvinnor, the first in novel of the Millennium trilogy. I had the opportunity to watch the Swedish versions (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
The funny thing is that we were hanging out in our living room watching the The Girl who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest
I just gave him this look and busted up laughing. I was laughing so hard I almost cried. “What good will that do me? I don’t speak Swedish!” After realizing how absurd his suggestion was, he started laughing too. He laughed so much that he turned red. We had a good laugh about it for several minutes.
I’m looking forward to the American adaptation so that I can pick up on all those subtle nuances that I might have missed by having to read the subtitles. I’m not a huge Daniel Craig fan, but I think actually think he makes a good Micke Blomkvist. Check out the movie trailer below.
Looks pretty good, doesn’t it? I’m thinking of taking Brian to watch it over Christmas vacation. Anyone want to go with us?
For those of you who aren’t familiar with the novels or films, the Swedish versions of all three films are available on Netflix Instant Watch. It might not be a bad idea to watch them before the American versions are released.
