Serial Killers (pt. 2).

Remember that time I posted about all this creepy stuff that happened the other day?

Well the ice cream truck just drove by our apartment again, this time playing “Happy Birthday.”

1. It’s still the middle of December. It’s 63 degrees right now, but not ice cream weather.

2. Do they normally play “Happy Birthday?” That seems odd to me.

3. Especially because my birthday is in 9 days.

Definitely a serial killer.

Serial Killers.

I’ve been working a lot of 5 AM shifts, which is when we do all of our shipment (I work at Victoria’s Secret, for those of you who don’t know). Today we had about 12 people working, split up between the Pink room & the cotton room, with a few girls in the beauty room. We were all just chatting & working, & the girls in the beauty room had KJ103, the local pop station, playing. All of a sudden, the lights went out, & the back-up lights came on. This creepy old Christmas music started playing, but it was all staticky. We were legitimately creeped out.

After my shift, I got home & took a nap. When I woke up, the ice cream truck was going by. I live at an apartment complex, so that wouldn’t be too weird… Except that it’s December & it’s 45 degrees outside (which, in itself, is odd… It’s usually much colder this time of year. But, I digress…). So I thought, “Surely the ice cream truck isn’t driving by when it’s this cold.” I looked out the window to check, & sure enough, not only was the ice cream truck there - it was parked outside my apartment, but no one was in it. Again… Legitimately creeped out.

If anything happens to me, let it be known that someone had been following me. They know my habits (I love Christmas music & ice cream), & they know where I work & live.

I watch a lot of Criminal Minds…

Fun Stuff.

I got blue eyeliner. This picture was supposed to show that, but you can’t really tell.

Freddy’s has pumpkin pie concretes.

Colleen sent me the best package ever!

Braums has holiday ice creams <3 (I feel like I’ve posted some of these before, but they’re not showing up on my feed, so…)

I made Hello Kitty gift bags for my littlest sisters’ Christmas gifts.

I read this while waiting for my co-workers to arrive.

Went to the Seahaven show! The band before them had a Doctor Who fan in it, I’m guessing (:

Seahaven was so good <3

Afterwards, we went to Buffalo Wild Wings & Kathryn & I shared this awesome dessert. It’s a cinnamon sugar tortilla topped with ice cream, cheesecake bites, chocolate, & caramel.

So glad I got to see some friends from Shawnee! AJ, Temple, me, & Corinna

& then there’s Kathryn <3

I’m wearing my new Seahaven shirt today.

I’m so thankful that I married someone smart who I can have psychological conversations with <3

I made some more Christmas ornaments because Christmas is now less than 2 months away! The one on the left has Rebecca & Jonathan’s wedding invitation inside, & it didn’t turn out as well as I’d hoped, but it’s the thought that counts, right?

Since last time…

I feel like I always wear black because 90% of the time, when I leave the house, it’s for work. & most of my clothes are black anyway, I guess.

I made corn chowder one night. I love fall. & my Crockpot.

Laker & I wore dorky shirts when we went out one night. It has Wilford Brimley on it & it says “Diabeetus.” Mine is Pikachu.

We bought pumpkin spice marshmallows. You should too. They’re awesome.

I also made chili. Chili is one of the greatest things in the world. 

I actually went out for something that wasn’t work.

It was for a cookout at my best friend Brandon’s house. Check out the awesome face I’m making in this picture someone Instagrammed… I look like a mean high school girl.

After the cookout, I went to Marble Slab with Laker & Howie.

I got cotton candy ice cream with marshmallows on top because sugar is good.

Laker & I are really cute & stuff.

I did some coloring.

I didn’t want to go to work. But my hair was straight. Which, in my opinion, deserved a picture.

My family’s copy of Harry Potter & the Sorcerer’s Stone is a little well-loved. I’ve read it 6 times… Plus it’s been read by my mom, sister, & brother multiple times.

I bought a new sweatshirt at work. It’s black, too.

Such great Scripture. I was convicted by this the other day.

I made chicken pot pie muffins last night. They were pretty good (: 

Which brings us to today. You already saw the coconut oil fiasco (I’m not 100% sure what a fiasco is, but we’ll stick with that because I’m tired). So that brings us to these boots. I was super excited because I knew Laker & I were going out today, so I wanted to wear boots & a sweater since we’ve had awesome fall weather lately. Then Laker informed me that it was 71 outside. I felt so betrayed by the weather… So I wore my red boots anyway.

& we bought candy corn cotton candy!

In case you were wondering…

This is the way to win my heart.
