4-22 the mall

i got my tax refund, half went to fixing the car and the rest went to shopping.

while the car was being fixed Toby and i walked to the mall two miles away from the guy who was fixing its house. this was like 1pm or so. I was given a 300$ budget.

I spent 70 or so at meijers the day before. I got two dresses and strapless bras, because i have no idea what happened to the ones i used to own. nail polish, and something Else.

I really want to start dressing more like I'm 30 and less like I'm 14. so i tried to stay away from the juniors sections and stores. I don't understand young peoples clothing anyways. you can show a little cleavage, not the whole thing. and do skirts/dresses/shorts really need to be so short.

Toby also wants to start branching out from just graphic tees. so he had a goal while at the mall. which made him a little less bored.

we went to all the stores that i could see good sales signs in the window. I only shop sales and clearance rack. I don't care about not being on tread, if i can get these 70$ pants for 20$ I'm going for it.

so i got some dressy shirts. but it was hard to find pants in my budget, that fit well. they were all so long or to high waisted. i found some but i had to go to jcpenny's petite section, i went with Capri's for summer. I gave up on skirts to long or to short, it just was not going to happen.

then i wanted some shoes to go with my dresses and also my pants. again sales racks, but 9 1/2 is not an easy size to find. so sears , i get 20% off everything, so i just went with the 30$ sandals, and i felt so guilty. i could have got three more tops for that price. but i only have three pairs of shoes at home so i needed them. and there so comfortable, i love my shoes.

we got Toby, some shorts , tees, and a vest that he fell in love with. but he was feeling guilty taking money away from my clothing budget. I just want him to look good and feel good, so i made him get them.

for more shoes we went to payless. and even those prices were a bit much but way cheaper then mall prices. I got a pair of platform sandals, seemed like they would go with more then heels. and got Toby some shoes to go with his new clothes.

I spent all my money and got way more stuff thanks to being picky about prices

now after all that shopping it was 7pm and the car still wasn't done, but we were done with the mall. Toby's mom picked us up and we drove around with her. then came back to her house. she had this strange young boy with her. so Toby and i sat on a couch and the boy sat on the other. i tried to get some sleep seeing that it was 9 and bed time. but it was so hard and uncomfortable. the car got finished at like 11pm. Toby's dad was dropping off his brother, so he took us to the car. we didn't get home til 12am. and i had to wake up at 3:20am for work.

and yet I'm not in a dead sleep right now. I wish i could sleep with light and noises around, but day sleeping doesn't work well for me

im going to go try to get to sleep now, k bye

craft fair FAIL

So I made tons of items for this craft fair. I handmade price tags, bags, signs. I was really happy with everything i did.

the day came .Toby woke up late and we didn't leave until 7:30. Then there was a road closer so we had to go a different way. we got into Temprance at about 8:20 but we were hungry so we so we didn't get to the church until like 8:50. We didn't know how to set up our canopy, we had to get tons of help with that. My table was to small for all my items. We forgot our chairs so we had to get some from a friend.

I only had three sales all day and two of them were to people I knew. I didn't even make the 10$ back from the cover fee. so i lost money being there. from gas, cover fee, and not just working the day. Then it started raining and what ever people that might have been look where scared away. then i got my fingers smashed trying to take the canopy down.

i'm not even sure if i want to try to do another craft fair again. i mean if this is how its going to be every time then its not fun. not that many people came.l I was most upset that nobody from my family came, not a one. and everyone in jessicas family came. heck they helped her sell.

so to be such a downer, but i just need to get this off my chest.

i'm such a lady

It got hot out of no where this year. Sadly Toby hasn't really wanted to go out to parks as much this year. We used to go play tennis, croquet, and act like we could play baseball. our bikes are all rusted up so we can't ride.

I feel really bad for Toby. his dog died last month. so we have been spending money on vet stuff for the weeks. and we have been behind on bills. so he has not been able to afford his T or Prozac . its been two months. and now he has to go back to the doctor just to get another script. yesterday someone called him a lady .

I have been getting really into barbie dresses. i even got three new barbie in the past couple weeks (birthday gifts). just so i have someone to dress. I don't really know what I'm going to do with the Ken. I'm in the CAL i guess one couple can be hetero .

some things i've made

palm sized sandwich

spring time young bride

ugly bridesmaids dress. that bow could be bigger

quest bag love

ok, im on a quest to find a pattern for a crocheted shopping bag. thats easy right. but i want one that doesn't stretch to my knees when its full. and in most of the patterns they try to sell this as a good thing. im not sure why, maybe i'm just odd.

i tried to make up my own pattern but it just looks like a basket, so i stopped. i'm going to frog and try a real pattern.

yesterday i worked with metal. i got a few things worked on. not finished just worked on.

i work on my birthday isn't that just sad. i mean i wasn't going to do anything, but still goodness. so i got a new job. i wanted this job to be right after i got off work at kmart. but that didn't work out. i'm working nights. so im missing all of my craft groups. and toby is already getting tired of driving me around. which i why he should have the second job not me. he is working on getting a better job so that i don't have to work two.

Money~
I have 40 hours next week. I'm really happy about that.

I gave toby 210$ to pay for the car to get fixed. The car is finally ready, and Toby only has 85$. I'm not very happy about that. I mean, why would he spend money that he knows we dont have. Goodness. I'm no longer going to trust him with money. He's done this before.

Hair ~
All of the dying did mess up my hair.My hair is thinner, my coils are getting looser and bigger. my kinks are now more coiled, my curls are now waves. I hadn't really noticed before because all this winter I've been keeping my hair in twist.

It could also be some of the products that im using. I've been using peppermint,tea tree oil, leave in conditioner and water, spray three times weekly. rinsing weekly, no-pooing every two or three weeks. I use Jason's conditioner. I'm thinking of going back to lemon juice,apple cider vinegar, baking soda, olive oil, all that good stuff. But i don't remember if that stuff worked or not I'll have to give it a go.


I just discovered banana clips, loving it


Life~
money is starting to get tight. I don't like it. I'm way to used to just shopping. now I have to go back to planning out things,bla, bla, bla, *crying*

I've been trying to take as many hours at work as i can.

Knitting~
I'm knitting a messenger bag right now. I'm hoping that it turns out well.

Sex~
I've been trying to jump Toby for the past two months. He has depression, and other things. So he has the lowest sex drive ever. He always tells me to go have fun with my self. He even went as far as buying me new batteries.

no one understands my pain. I have an over active sex drive and imagination.

Knit: I'm working on a bear for toby for Valentines Day. I found the pattern on ravelry, it really easy. once i learned how to work with the double pointed needle.


Food/diet: I brought a book a couple of of days ago vegan with a vengeance. I went food shopping and got 160 worth of food. I tried not to buy many items with cheese or milk ingredients but that’s nearly impossible. I got lots of vegetables, fruit, tofu and other good things. I want to make tons of food. I will share the good recipes.

Life: why didnt anyone tell me how expensive fed ex is. I mailed my mom the purse i made with a gift card and twenty dollars, it cost me 8$ to ship that. and it was only .21 pounds.
