Home Alone Kinda Week

Happy Tuesday little bots, Last week I was home alone while my man zipped off to London for a week on business.  Needless to say I was going stir crazy and having freaky ass dreams about ghosts.  So when he returned on Sunday night and decided to take the day off yesterday to recoup, I became his shadow for the day.  That's why there wasn't a post yesterday, so thus I'm making it up today.

Last week was pretty boring and uneventful, but I did go to Nordstrom, lush and Sephora with my mom one day and have an impromptu spa night by myself.  At Nordstrom's I got this cute "grown-up" friendship bracelet with these cute charms on it.  I took one picture of it while waiting for my mom to finish up in the bathroom; and now after many likes on instagram, Nordstrom has reached out to me asking to use my picture on Nordstrom.com.  So now you can see my bathroom pic of my bracelet on Nordstrom's page. 









When my man returned on Sunday he brought with him gifts and booze.  So below is a quick slide show of what he brought back:

Buckingham Palace's chocolates

Tonk's wand from Harry Potter (replica from the film)

The little stand it came with

Bead Union Jack bracelet from the British Museum

Corgi key chain from Buckingham Palace

Cat head statue from the British Museum

Nimbus from the British Museum

Scotch from the duty free

Yes I was jealous that he went, but he wants to go back so we are going to save money so we can go in a couple of years.  Also we can pick out the right hotel and where we want to go.

This week is another Women in Film event that I'm helping out with and possibly some running away on my part to my parents house early next week for some teeth cleaning.

His And Her Gift Idea List 2014

 

Last year I did a separate his and her geek gift list, this year I wanted to do something a little bit different and combine the two. I did this 1) I forgot about this until the last minute and 2) next week I'm planing on doing a couples geek gifts. So on to the gifts!

His gift ideas:

The controller shop: make him a custom controller from the Controller Shop:

Geeky Jackets or hoodies: be loud and proud in fandom like this amazing Ghostbusters jacket from Supper Hero Stuff:

Monthly subscription: give the gift that keeps on giving month after month, what something more specific than loot crate try Nerd Block:

Hers gift ideas:

Monthly subscription: if your gal is crafty type try For The Maker monthly subscription:

Axent Wear Cat Ear headphones: while this is only a pre order item, if your woman is patient she can have them in April in a variety of colors from Axent Wear:

Galaxy Jewelry: who doesn’t want to have the galaxy on their finer tips you can buy yours from Cell Dividing:

This should help give you an idea what to get that geek in your life for x-mas or Hanukkah or whatever they celebrate. Have a good weekend little bots and come back next week for couples geeky gifts.

Sore Throat and Cool Things

            Wasn't feeling sick these past couple of days so sorry of the no update yesterday.  Good news is that I haven’t recived a runny nose (yet); bad news is that I keep getting this sore throat in the mornings.  And no, I don’t smoke.  It came on Friday afternoon and by Friday evening, I couldn’t swallow, talk, and I was hacking up mucus chunks.  Sounds pleasant, but the best part was I could not go to sleep until some time after 2 am.  Come the next morning, my throat was a little sore from the hacking up but over all ok.  Very weird.

            Another thing that happened last week was that my man went on a business trip to Dallas with the leads in his division, leaving me home alone with the cats and the city.  Let’s just say I kept myself busy trying to finish GTA 5 (still not done) and playing with makeup that turned my bathtub into a clown murder scene.  But upon his arrival home he gave me a beautiful gift from the Texas’ state fair. 

From the Fair

            I just want to make a couple of announcements from some things coming up this moth that I am excited about.

            First off have you checked out The Wolf Among Us yet?  It’s a done by the same company who did the Walking Dead, Telltale games, based on based on Bill Willingham's Fables comic book series.  The sorties take place before the comic book and will consist of 5 episodes.  The first one is out now on all platforms but you can play part of the first episode for free now on Xbox and Playstation. 

            The second thing I wanted to mention was… BRAVEST WORRIORS IS BACK!

Well to be precise it will be premiering the second season on YouTube this Thursday.  I cannot wait to watch it!  I love catbug and I want to make a mascot suite in his form and wear it to conventions.  However that would be a lot of time and money and I sure as hell don’t have the money to make it.  One day cat bug I shall be in you!

            That was totally not weird… anyway be sure to come back tomorrow for Party Wednesday as we continue our month long Halloween themed parties.

Bitchin' Fridays: Re-Found Obsessions

Still stuck over here in no mans land, and with not much going on you start to explore some of your old belongings.  I am very greatfull that my mom never threw anything away, hell my room still looks the same as it did in high school.  While I was rumageing threw some or my drawers I discovered a drawer full of jewelry.  Going threw this large collection, I selected a few items that I wanted to show you.

This is a necklace that I recived from my mom and dad a few Christmas's ago.  It was from Nordstrom and has these beautiful stones that are almost translucent in the light.  It is very heavy around the neck, but very stunning peice to wear.

These earrings I want to say came from Nordstrom as well, but I had these for a long time and I hardly remember what I had for dinner 2weeks ago.  Brass wire with tiny light blue crystals intertwined with it.  These are supper light and catch the light beautifully.

These are from a jeweler in Santiago Chile, my dad bought them for me when he was working down there.  Sterling silver and both of the stones are lapis lazuli, I just love the bright color in these stones.

These are probably one of my favorite pieces.  They are from an artist in Bainbridge or Seattle (my mom bought them at a store in Bainbridge so sorry artist if I don't know your name).  They are made out of antler and  14 carat gold, supper light, and when you hold them up to the light the antler gives off this gorgeous tan color.  When I wear these they are suttle but eye catching.

That was a look into my jewelry past.  Catch me Monday for an update blog and starting this coming Wednesday the parties are back.  Stay tuned!
