Well, it’s now officially Christmas at the mall in Cocoa! I am on three hours of sleep right now so today is going to be interesting! Mall work goes from about 6PM-5AM. Luckily we were able to leave early since their are two “shifts”. We lasted until 2:45 and decided we would rather drive home awake, then push it and drive home exhausted.

I had a small plastic bag of Pirate’s booty right when we got to the mall as we were checking and replacing lights on the garland. I sipped on my 32 oz. of water as we worked as well. Mmmm H2O!

I also snacked on some monkey munch/puppy chow(whatever you choose to call it!):

Yumm! My wonderful friend Ashley brought a huge bowl of this stuff for us to munch on. Chocolate, peanut buttery goodness!

I also snacked on a few pieces of halloween candy throughout the night, about 4 pieces throughout the night. It was a LONG night so it was a nice sugary pick me up.

When we first got there we had three hours of prep work which involves “fluffing” garland, finding which lights work and don’t and replacing the lights that don’t. My pictures came out blurry, but here are some from the work room..

Yep there’s a whole lotta Christmas going on..

At about 8:30 we broke for dinner which was GREAT because we were starving. The group decided on pizza from the Sbarro in the mall, my only request was that there be veggies on the pizza. Luckily, Adam was ordering so he made sure to get one and even more fortunately I had some other veggie lovers to share with!

Plus another piece half the size of this one.

Okay it literally had just come out of the oven when we got it and my veggies tried to escape my ravenous attack. They lost the battle. I scooped the veggies back on and as unattractive as it looks it was yum! They had green peppers, a little brocc, red peppers, onion(notice an Italian theme with the colors?), and mushrooms! Mmmm! I wish their were more veggies on the pizza but it was better then having no veggies at all!

I brought some POM tea for a pick me up with dinner. I have never tried POM tea but it was yummy! I bought two of these during a sale at Publix so I have another yummy one waiting in the fridge for me. I loved the fruity green tea taste, it was a nice treat.

I also hated the pizza..obviously..

Throughout the night we prepared garland to hang..literally all night! Thank goodness though, the time flew by so fast. I literally couldn’t believe how fast time was passing by. At around 11:30 we hit a wall though and my friend Gayle I were pretty much garland buddies the whole night and we needed a coffee break. The only place to really get coffee that late(the DD wasn’t 24 hours..sad) was 7-eleven. We grabbed our friend Andy and drove down the road and made a coffee run. I ended up drinking an unpictured vanilla iced coffee. It was SUPER sweet! I’m not used to drinks that sweet, but it did the job.

Then during break around 1:45 I dug into this and shared with Adam:

He was really excited about this flavor, so was I! It was yummy with a very subtle sweetness. You would expect a little more tartness from a pineapple yogurt but it had just enough. It wasn’t my favorite flavor so far, I liked it..but Adam LOVED it!

We decided to head out at 2:45 since it was just us two driving home and we didn’t want to wait until we were super tired to drive home. Better safe then sorry, right? So we headed home. Luckily I think the coffee took 3 hours to kick in because we were talking the whole way home!

It was my first night home alone in our apartment all night, I ended up turning all the lights on and watching the recorded episode of SNL with Taylor Swift. It was one of the funnier SNL’s I have seen in a while! I think she did great, I especially loved “The Monologue Song”.

Long story longer, I couldn’t fall asleep. I was up until 6 AM..the sun was rising! I fell asleep watching Friends on my laptop. I woke up bright and early at 9:45 and couldn’t fall back asleep. At least I will be able to fall asleep early tonight?

For breakfast I had another breakfast cookie..yummm! I was sadly..and I mean sadly..out of bananas! It was still good but I missed the nanner yummyness! I added half a cup of 0% plain chobani and some more mushy strawberries.

Messy, yummy breakfast!

I then moved over to the coffee station, especially since..if you look at the clock..I had been awake 4 hours prior. Mmm coffee..

I am hoping to get out of the house today..Adam may not be as excited about that he was up until 6 as well, but stayed in Cocoa..and was running around all night. 12 hours! We shall see..wish me luck?

So that was a random job, but those decorations have to get up there somehow. What’s the most random job you’ve ever done?
