Project Runway Season 12 Episode 3 Live Blog

Welcome back! It's time for episode three and it looks like it's going to be the unconventional challenge! Hooray!

"Give lifeboats to the Titanic" - Timothy

The designers are at Coney Island for a team challenge with yogurt. Kate is not happy.

Alexander and Justin are a team, then Kate and (is her name Ellen? Helen? You know, the girl who cried last week?), Jeremy and Ken, Sue and Sandro (there's going to be drama), Braden and Karen, Dom and Alexandria, so Timothy got left with Miranda - remember they are from Wisconsin or something, so she hates him.

So the design teams pass out free frozen yogurt to people and have to ask them for words to describe it. Things like "fluffy," "luxurious," and "raspberry town." THEN they have to go play carnival games because the prizes they win will be the fabrics they use for their garment which is to be inspired by the yogurt words. Does that make sense?

Kate and Crying Girl go for red sombreros. Jeremy is winning these big stuffed ice cream cones. Sandro and Sue are winning these blue blow-up alien plastic doll things (why??). Braden has a big monkey and gives it a little kiss! Timothy and Miranda seem to have a very large whale (it's bigger than Timothy) and a yellow kickball - did they get anything else? Is this sustainable? THEN... they see UNICORNS!! and so Team Wisconsin is happy.

If my dogs tearing apart a little stuffed chew toy is any indication, there is going to be A LOT of fluff on the floor at Parsons!

Karen and Bradon make a cute team, I am going to predict that they will win (so far no one has sketched anything, though).

Kate is doing... guess what? A corset. Again. Sandro thinks Sue's idea is too much like a drag queen costume. Timothy and Miranda's blue and yellow vinyl dress idea looks A) impossible and B) boring even if they do finish it. Alexander wants to use the eye of one of his toys. Sue doesn't even know how to use a sewing machine. Kate already has fluff in her hair. Tim calls the fluff "flotsam and jetsam."

COMMERCIAL #1

Everyone is cutting open stuffed animals. Sandro and Sue are fighting. I'm worried about Alexander and Justin's color blocking - especially the colors (mostly blue with green). In the preview one of the judges said there was a dress that looke like she had seaweed on her butt and I'm afraid it might be this one. I hope Alexander doesn't go home!!

Timothy wants to start over and make pants instead of a dress, but Miranda already patterned everything, so she starts crying over dinner with Sandro (I mean. not as much as Helen cried last week).

TIM TIME!

Tim is supportive of Jeremy's look (including some kind of "big fur jacket" which hasn't been made yet and blue vinyl pants.

Dom's Japanese street wear look gets a pass from Tim as well.

Alexander's look, he admits, is "junior" and Tim suggests that add another piece without making it silly.

Karen and Bradon are doing something no one else in the room is doing - but it has a big green plastic seaweed butt piece!!

Sandro and Sue don't get along, so that worries Tim. Alexander calls Sandro completely unprofessional and out of line (well, not to his face).

COMMERCIAL #2

For Helen and Kate, Tim agrees with Helen that the bodice look should be strapless and does not need the high shoulders Kate wants to add.

Timothy and Miranda have a look that "looks very hospital gowny" according to Tim. When Tim brings up "craft project" or "happy hands at home" that is not a good sign.

The models come in for their fittings.

Timothy's model (no the one he had for the first challenge) is super nice to him and gave him a card.

Kate and Helen are having a "love fest" and are like sorority sisters according to Kate.

Miranda and Sandro are being mean to Timothy and he walks in. Poor Timothy! He looks so sad. At least he is trying! She basically just gave up when they got a bad critique from Tim. She basically says he was only cast on the show to create drama for her. Timothy walks out of the workroom and Miranda doesn't really care.

COMMERCIAL #3

OMG it looks like Timothy is really taking his unicorn and leaving! Sad music. Miranda sucks.

Timothy is sitting in a stairwell and he reads the letter he got from his model, Sophie. It's so sweet! She tells him how lucky she feels to work with him and tells him to keep fighting - so he goes back!! Yay!

Sandro is crying because he wants to be perfect. Tim was wrong - it's not Timothy and Miranda's dress that looks Disney - it's Sandro and Sue's! It looks like a plastic Cinderella costume! (I think I should be Snow White for Halloween...)

The night is over.

It's hair and makeup time and Kate and Helen's red sombrero bodice dress looks pretty cute.

Miranda realizes she should have just talked to Timothy (or something) and Sophie looks cute in the dress from what I could see.

Alexander is worried that he and Justin might be in a little trouble. Jeremy thinks it looks terrible.

Miranda cries a little and tries to appologize the Timothy kinda. He says, "actions speak louder than words." That is a perfectly awesome response! He is totally sticking up for himself and she deserves it.

Karen wants her model's hair to look "like a comet." Pink liner. Strong brows. Micky Mouse ears. Dolly pink.

Miranda is really happy with the look. She and Timothy share a quick hug.

Why is Sandro dressed like a farmer?

COMMERCIAL #4

The guest judge is Kelly Osbourne. The runway show begins.

Bradon & Karen. This is a no. The seaweed sticking out on one side and the fluff on the other are not cute. But I have a feeling this might not be the worst look.

Bradon and Karen

Dom and Alexandria's sweater with a face on it is so cute! The hair is a little much.

Sandro and Sue's look is OK. It doesn't look like a ton of time or design went into it.

Helen and Kate may win. Kelly calls it f---ing brilliant.

Justin worries that his look with Alexander is a bit over done. I guess it's not going to be in the top or bottom.

Jeremy and Ken are going to be in the top! The blue vinyl pants (made out of the same material as Sandro and Sue's ho-hum dress) are amazing!

Jeremy and Ken

Miranda and Timothy are probably in the bottom three. but they may not go home. Timothy thinks they may win!

Bradon and Karen, Ken and Jeremy, and Sandro and Sue are in the middle. I guess I was wrong about Ken and Jeremy being in the top three AND about Alexander and Justin being in the middle!

YUCK! Sandro just said something horribly sexist about how cool it is when a woman listens to a man. Boo!

COMMERCIAL #5 (it looks like Kelly is coming back to Dance Moms next week!)

I see - there are two teams in the top and two in the bottom. The judges want to talk to the top teams first - Kate & Helen, and Alexandria & Dom (they really were both really good).

Heidi wants to wear Dom and Alexandria's sweater. All the judges love it and think it is very fun, creative, and adorable. Nina loves the styling and calls it an "instagram moment."

Dom and Alexandria

I think the hair on Kate and Helen's model is bad, but Heidi seems to like it. Their love fest continues. Nina likes the dramatic red. Kate and Helen's model looks like a blonde Rachel Weiss to me.

Posen calls Alexander and Justin's look sea foam Skipper (or something). Heidi says they need to edit. Nina says, go fun or go glamorous, but they couldn't make up their mind.

Heidi calles Timothy and Miranda's look "so boring." and Posen calls it a deflated pool toy with a life vest. Nina is reminded of a toxic biohazard. The big question is - if they loose, who should go home? Miranda says she is responsible for the design and admits she got a little freaked and that they got into a fight. She didn't need to bring that up in front of the judges. It all comes out, but it sounds like Miranda made most of the dress.

Now the judges will do the (I think) unnecessary part where they look closely at the clothes. Miranda cries some more and yells at Timothy for bringing up the drama in front of the judges (um, she did that).

Timothy has been in the bottom three times in a row and this unconventional challenge should have been HIS challenge, the judges feel, so will they send him home?

COMMERCIAL #6

Helen wins (Kate said that if they won, it should go to Helen) and has immunity. She couldn't have done it without Kate and her corsets, though.

Alexandria and Dom are in and so are Alexander and Justin. So it's down to Timothy and Miranda. I think she should go home.

And it's Timothy. Poor guy! I really liked him in this episode. But he's happy that he learned something. He only regrets not dancing more.

Does Tim have to justify not using his Tim Gunn Save on every show now?

Timothy packs his unicorn and goes, "I won't stop believing in unicorns ever!"

Next time it will be a bow tie challenge with guest Jessie Tyler Ferguson from Modern Family and it looks like Sandro is going to walk out and hit a camera!

Where Are You in the Movie of Life (Again)?

I wrote about this site before here, but I was just thinking about it again today. It's a site where you put in your birthday and how old you think you'll be when you die and they show you what scene you are at in a certain movie.

Here's where I am in Star Wars, The Wizard of Oz, The Princess Bride, and Titanic.

Project Runway Season 12 Episode 2 Live Blog

Tonight is the second episode of season 12 and I'm here to live blog it as it happens, taking pictures of the screen when necessary. I update at each commercial break. Here we go!

"I need to sew my hookers" - Sandro

A big truck pulls up with a guard. I know from the preview last week that the challenge involves expensive diamonds. Each model will have a necklace, bracelet, etc. and the designers must design something that goes with/shows off the jewels. The guards have guns. Heidi comes out with the button bag and Kate hopes its not teams.

Alexander: "Wow. Wow."

The jewels are worth over $30 million. The look they must create is glamorous. Timothy doesn't like this challenge. The designers get to choose the model they want, also choosing the diamonds that come with them. I can't tell how many of them stuck with the model they had before.

They will finally get to try out the new Go-Bank account (they get $4,000 for the whole season) and we will finally get to see Swatch at Mood! They only get one day to make this evening gown.

Timothy wants to do something called trash for treasure.

The girl with the tattoos is doing a strapless dress which sounds like a good plan to me.

Mood! Someone whose name I don't remember goes for silk prints while Timothy goes to the garbage. I'm already getting tired of typing things about Timothy.

I hate shin length dresses. Yuck. The Russian is doing one.

"Bye Swatch!"

Kate is doing some kind of costume. Sandro and Ken are fighting in the sewing room. Oh, Ken pulled out, "Speak correct English." Not cool.

COMMERCIAL #1

Sue has some liquid silver-looking fabric. Bradon has some cool silver curtain fabrics.

COMMERCIAL #2

Tim gives Kahindo some help by suggesting she layer her print with a sheer green fabric for her African-inspired look.

Timothy's look is a mess and Tim says it looks like a ticket home.

Alexander Pope is giving Kate crap for not being original. His name isn't even original. I still like him. He's like, "Omigod, I have to go drape a skirt in like twenty minutes!"

Sue has a problem with her sewing machine and is freaking out.

COMMERCIAL #3

2 hours to runway and Sandro is running around shouting about sewing hookers.

Tattoo's dress looks bad and it looks even worse next to Kate's look which has the same kind of top, but better.

In the make-up room, they have found L'oreal's sustainable line of makeup which should make Timothy's model pretty happy.

A designer whose name I don't know is putting a matching headband on her model. Sandro is putting a bra on his head...

Sandro is upset because no one will help him work the steamer, so he calls on a crew member to help him, but the crew member doesn't help, so Sandro starts crying.

COMMERCIAL #4

On the runway the 15 designers look nervous. Heidi's hair looks super be beachy cute.

First up is Dom's look! She's the one whose name I keep forgetting who put a headband on her model.

Dom

Justin made a black dress. Luckily, it is not a hot mess or he would be in the bottom for being so boring. His model's hairnet hair is crazy.

Ken's green peplum dress is boring and the top is ill-fitting.

Kahindo's camp-looking cocktail dress is kinda cute.

I don't like how short Alexandria's dress is in the front - is this a fashion trend I don't know about? It looks like a mistake to me.

The proportions are off on Miranda's ugly blue top/skirt.

Miranda

Alexander's dress has wow. I'm glad he didn't put the sleeves up.

Alexander

Kate's Marie Antoinette look is pretty good. The styling is also spot on.

Kate

Timothy should go home, but there are a lot of messy looks tonight...

Karen's blue silk dress fits weird at the armpits. Is that on purpose?

Jeremy's dress has a lot of drama - he is safe at least.

Sandro's model can barely walk in that tight dress thing.

Helen (that's tattoo's name) is crying - Heidi even asks if Tim wants to go and talk to her! (She's not supposed to give away that the dress is hers). She's shaking and Sandro is trying to comfort her awkwardly as Tim approaches - in front of everyone.

COMMERCIAL #5

Tim whispers something to her, then says "We're going to carry on, everyone." Tim is so great. I love him. The dress doesn't look good, but it's not the worst.

I don't like how Sue's dress is a halter and the necklace has to go over parts of it. The two don't look like they belong together. She thinks she "definitely nailed it" however.

Bradon's dress is cute, but I'm not crazy about the black trim and I don't like the little jacket thing.

Heidi calls Dom, Sandro, Timothy, Kahindo, Helen, and Kate forward - they are the top and bottom six. Obviously Kate and Kahindo are in the top, with... Dom, I guess. Kate's dress is pretty, but no one thinks it is very original.

Everyone like's Dom's look, but not the headband (called it).

Timothy's dress has a racerback in the front and no one cares for it much, but they don't seem to really hate it.

Kate's model is so tall! The guest judge (a costume designer) likes it. Everyone likes the gray color.

Sandro's look is overdone again after they told them not to last week, but Heidi likes it. Posen thinks it is a little trashy since the sides are sheer.

Kahindo's dress is maybe in the bottom? Heidi thinks it is too simple/boring/off-the-rack. Sad. No one thinks it showcases the necklace. So... maybe Helen is going home?

Helen explains that she never made a dress with cups before. Helen says "go big or go home." Up close, this dress really is worse than Timothy's. Helen's crying again because of how much she loves couture - she's even making Sandro tear up, but Nina is not going for it.

Maybe Tim will use the Tim Gunn save this early to save Helen?

Back stage, Alexandria is mean to Timothy and Sandro is telling him to just shut up in front of the judges. According to the online-voting thing, viewers think Timothy is going home.

Heidi calles Nina "Mean-a." :)

Tim gets to speak on Kahindo's behalf and explains that he advised her to put the layer over the print.

Tim explains that Timothy's dress is 1000 times better than his first attempt.

LAST COMMERCIAL

Kate is the winner and Kahindo is out.

See you next week!

Project Runway Season 12 Episode 1 Live Blog

Tonight is the premiere of Project Runway season 12 (can you believe it?) and I'm here to live blog it as it happens, taking pictures of the screen when necessary. I update at each commercial break. Here we go!

"Remember the Unicorns" - Timothy

The first four designers are at some old-timey airport. One of them is from Russia. Three more designers arrive - the one in a hot pink shirt and bright blue pants claims to be "a force to be reckoned with" I'm going to guess right now that he gets voted off tonight! The guy with the orange hair says "Some people love me some people hate me" - I love him! Are they jumping out of airplanes?

Heidi and Tim arrive to welcome them to the "runway" (oh, I get it! Runway!). Hey! A former designer is returning to be the 16th person in the competition, I didn't know that. It's Kate from last season. Who cares? Are there really a lot of Kate fans out there? At least it's not Project Runway Teams anymore. One designer is deaf! Cool.

Love Heidi's glasses and Tim's suit is amazing! Gotta take a picture:

Heidi and Tim on the runway - literally.

Are they making something out of a parachute? They are. Kate fell trying to get the yellow one that no one else wanted.

A bunch of other stuff just happened, but when I tried to update after the first commercial it was all deleted. The highlights include my favorite orange-haired designer saying that he designed costumes for The Lion King and Mary Poppins, a guy with a beard who was a professional modern dancer, and a woman who used to be in the army.

COMMERCIAL #1

Kate is being nice to everyone and explaining how it goes. The Russian guy is so cute! He is making a swimsuit and said something about having potential which was cute, but which also got deleted from this blog somehow.

We get to see inside the hotel a little, but I'm not that impressed with the decor. Here is Orange Hair and his roommate Modern Dancer (who also kind of has orange hair, but he has a beard):

Brandon/Braiden and Alexander inside the new digs.

And now I can finish trying to fix the mistake with the blog and continue watching (I had to pause - sorry!)

There's an older guy who has two really cute kids!

AHH! The orange-haired guy's name is Alexander Pope! Seriously. Love him. He can't believe the woman with the blond sort of dreadlocks doesn't know how to use a basic sewing machine (she is trying to do 3,000 pleats, and based on her sketch it is not going to look very good even if she does finish the pleats, which seems unlikely).

Timothy doesn't usually use electricity. He is into, like, sustainable stuff. He's "waiting to get into a situation with a wood stove" which almost would have won best quote of the episode, if he hadn't already said something about unicorns. Now Timothy is burning his dress to make it "interesting." The Russian and the former model (Alexandria?) are not getting slong.

TIM TIME!

Tim likes the colorblocking that Alexandria the former model is doing, but to me the parachute fabric is really bunching up at the seams and does not look good - that's probably going to be true for most of the designers, though.

Alexander says, "Kate's dress is soooo girly" and then makes a face. :)

Brandon is the name of the modern dancer. His inspiration is wind. Tim says there is something James-Bondish about it.

Tim likes the effect the burning had on Timothy's fabric. Ken (he was pink/shirt blue pants guy) thinks Timothy's dress is awful. Timothy wants his model to go barefoot, so Tim tells him to go for it.

The army girl is not using her parachute very much. This could really hurt her because it's kind of breaking the rules, but this has happened before on PR with mixed results.

COMMERCIAL #2

Helen has tattoos. I haven't mentioned her yet. She is also not really using much of her parachutte in the garment.

A few more designers whose names I don't know also get critiques from Tim.

Dreadlocks is named Sue. She had 1% hope after the pleating didn't go well, but Tim thinks her garment is a knockout.

The Russian is named Sandro. He is making a jacket for the top of his swimsuit (what?)

The models are here. Timothy asks his model how she feels about "acting and moving awkwardly and things like that." She's going to try. He wants her to channel the Virgin Mary and to sniff her armpit.

The designer with the short blonde hair has made something with a hood that looks like a raincoat to me.

The models leave and the second night is over. Tomorrow is the runway.

COMMERCIAL #3

Tim has to stop and ask Timothy what he is doing (pulling is model, which he calls "choreography." Time reminds him that each model has the same amount of time on the runway. The model wonders if she should just walk normally. Timothy: "Um, no."

Hair and make-up time. Fun, summery, smoky eye, cat eye, etc. Timothy's model can't have product or anything that's plugged in. Just bobby-pinning and braiding and no make-up. After he leaves, his model starts to cry.

The army woman is wearing a uniform.

Sandro's swimsuit has a camel toe situation. Yikes. How can he not lose?

And now off to the runway...

COMMERCIAL #4

Part of their prize is a year's supply of water. They actually get A LOT of prizes - over half a million dollars worth.

Zac Posen is back as a judge (No more Michael Kors??) Nina is there, and Kate Bosworth is the guest Judge. Tim gets to be a judge kind of, but not really. He just gets to save one person. The runway will also be anonymous this year so the judges will not know who designed which look until after they have graded them.

The show begins and first up is Sue the pleater. It's OK. Nina is smiling.

I really like Brandon "Modern Dancer"'s wind-inspired look. It is short with a long train:

Braidon

Jeremy is the name of the guy who has kids. He did what looks like track/hiking pants and a white T-Shirt.

Kahindo has not stood out to me so far, but I kind of like her pleated purple and pink skirt.

Sandro's model is covering her crotch with her hands and some fringe stuff, but, yeah.

The designer with the tattoos has an ugly wrinkly butterfly looking dress thing.

Alexandria's colorblock dress is next. Then Karen's stripy moo-moo thing.

Timothy's model does not really so the performance/choreography. She doesn't even sniff her armpit, so he is pretty disappointed.

Justin (the deaf guy) has constructed his dress pretty well, but I think it's sort of boring:

Justin

Kate's dress looks like a sexualized apron to me, not a "sexy princess" as she puts it.

Angela's short raincoat.

Alexander's diamond dress looks great coming out, but starts to ride up a little in the front. This should not be a problem at all since Sandro's model's vagina was out and all.

Alexander

Feather Earrings is named Dom. Her look has a jacket. It's OK.

Ken has a ruffley orange dress. It's actually cute, so I was wrong to guess he would be the first one voted off. Heidi smiled.

Ken

Miranda (army) has a really so-so looking dress considering she made it out of fabric instead of a parachute

.

JUDGING

Now they know who made which garment. She calls Angela, Sue, Miranda, Brandon (I think his name might be Braidon), Sandro, and Timothy as the high and low six. Sandro should probably go, but I think Miranda will be the one out. We'll see!

COMMERCIAL #5

They don't like Timothy. Why is he wearing sparkly high heels and his model is barefoot (also, her hair looks bad. I feel bad for her).

They all like Sue.

Nina likes Miranda, but is disappointed she used the black fabric - Heidi has a huge problem with it. It looks like she is going to skate by, though.

They don't like Angela's because it's missing a bottom (no pants, skirt or anything). Nina calls it a disposable poncho. I think she will be out.

They like Braiden's. Heidi "really really" likes it. It's my favorite of the six they picked.

Sandro explains his inspiration - something about "early twentieth century" but Zac calls her a slutty cat toy. "NOW I understand" says Sandro. Heidi mentions the taste level, but it looks like he is safe. Now that I think about it, the idea to make swimwear out of parachute material is actually very clever.

New this season, Tim comes out with the six models so the judges can get a closer look! That is VERY different! This part of the show is going on too long. Tim says he would give Miranda an F for using that black fabric - he is right.

COMMERCIAL #6 (those new Mr. Clean commercials freak me out)

The winner is Braiden! Hooray for Alexander's roomie. He gets immunity.

And it's down to Timothy and Angela. They've got to keep Timothy just for how much interest he adds to the show. And they do.

That means Angela is out.

I'll see you next week when we will get to see them using their bank accounts, etc. Coming up this season: Someone is missing! Boobs! Camping! A foaming vagina! Stay tuned.

What to Make for Dinner for Vegans

When they find out I am a vegan, people always ask me, "What do you eat?" and I don't know what to say because I eat a lot of things - really almost everything everyone else eats - just without meat, dairy, eggs, or honey. Here is a list of things I regularly make for dinner:

Tacos/burritos/breakfast burritos/quesadillas (I use beans instead of meat and I don't use cheese). For the quesadillas I use refried beans mixed with salsa (and sometimes veggies) folded into corn tortillas. For breakfast burritos I use beans, potatoes, salsa, and avocado.

Pasta: It's true that some pasta has eggs in it, though. Spaghetti marinara is a pretty common meal, usually with some bread and/or salad (most italian dressings are vegan).

Potatoes: mix them with veggies or peppers and onions, serve with a thick piece of wheat toast - also makes a good breakfast.

Veggie burgers: Make them at home or go to in-n-out and order the veggie (a burger with all the fixings, but no burger) and then add your own veggie patty. Yum!

Veggie dogs: Get the ones that say Veggie Dogs - the Tofu Dogs are not as good.

Pigs in a Blanket: Use Pillsbury croissants, veggie dogs, and mustard!

Soup: I like tomato soup, pasta fagoil, and pea (with no ham), but there are plenty of other soups you can make or buy.

Frito Pie: is like tacos, but you use veggie chilli and fritos, then top it with salsa, tomatoes, avocado, black olives, lettuce, onion, cilantro, etc. Yum.

Yaki Soba: Stir fry these noodles with veggies and soy sauce.

Samosas: You can buy frozen veggie ones and cook them in the oven. They are usually filled with potatoes, peas, and spices.

BBQ: You can make veggie burgers and/or hot dogs, but sometimes I just like to skip the grill and make corn on the cob, baked beans, and maybe a baked potato.

Chicken Strips: They sell these frozen chicken strips that you can cook in the oven. Serve them with garlic green beans and BBQ sauce to dip them in.

Veggie sandwiches: As long as you have a flavorful bread and some avocado, you're good to go. Subway's veggie delight with no cheese and no mayo is also good.

BLTs: It can be hard to fin the good vegan bacon, but it is really good fried in a pan with vegan butter. Add vegenaise to some toasted wheat bread, lettuce, tomato, and avocado and you have a great hot sandwich.

A Book I Want to Read

The Dinner by Herman Koch. It comes out in February. The Huff Post says it's a tale of two families set on one night in an expensive restaurant. Skins good!

Christmas 2012

So, it's almost time to open my presents. I know I got slippers and I can't wait to own them because my feet are cold. After the presents are open, I have phone calls to make and a meal to cook. The bread is baked, the pie is done, the presents wrapped for everyone - simply having a wonderful Christmastime!

This year I got my mom slippers and a brain teaser book (next time, just get her a word search, the big print kind, that's her favorite part). I got her husband a knife (I think he really likes it, he says I am going to inherit it). I got my brother and nephew the be Family Guy Xbox game. I got my Dad and his gf these metal brain teaser toy things. I got Jeff a Swiss Army knife and some other stuff. I got Carlos a book. My secret santa recipient at work was Kevin, but I couldn't get a 60's Motown record for him, so I just got him a Starbucks gift card (sorry Kevin). I got a cute Christmas card for everyone else. Here's what it looks like:

I got the following gifts:

I got my friend Carlos a copy of Ulysses (he wanted Finnegan's Wake) and I got one for myself, too. I even started a blog about it.

New slippers (thanks mom) and pajama pants.

Mini flashlight (it's a family tradition)!

Regency House Party! (I wanted either this or Frontier House).

A frisbee golf putter!

A little pink pocket knife like I had when I was a kid!

Chocolate!

A whole box of the pens I like to use at work (I really wanted these)!

Three new nail polishes! (Not shown: the Tifffany blue that I already started using two weeks ago). There's a metalic blue and a gray! I've never had gray nail polish before. I think I'm going to try it today. You know I love nail polish.

I got this chia pet-like gift from my secret santa at work. Today is day one.
