Dusting off my blog…

I know it’s been awhile but I have a tale to tell!

So I moved into an apartment FINALLY!!! OUR own place! It’s very wonderful! But that is besides the point… or maybe it’s part of the point… :O)

As we all know I hate the evil place that shall not be named… Well my Honey had time to himself (which seems like a good idea) and he found some furniture on line from the evil place. So he thought he would go to the evil place in person to check it out… but SURPRISE they didn’t have the furniture however they did have other things he needed… like bread, cereal, and a few other food items. So he thought “well I’m already here so I’ll just get a few things.” NOW I know what about to say is going to make me sound like a hysterical lunatic but I don’t care.

The evil place won that day. It won it did what it planned to do all along… it got you in there with false ads… and when you couldn’t find what you came for instead of leaving b/c they didn’t have what you went for you got distracted and spent money there anyway on something totally irrelevant to your purpose. Something that could have been bought somewhere else better that actually had the things you were looking for instead of falsely advertised not things!

Now I know that is the purpose of many places to get you in… and get you to stay and spend money… but I just feel the evil place has a freak show ability to do this to people! And I know it’s just a few items he bought… and in the long run doesn’t make them a bunch of money… but I still feel like buying things from them is like just giving them my paycheck that I work to get from them to begin with. I work 5 days a week to get the pay check I get FROM them why would, I then go and give it right back to them? b/c I have a false sense of low prices from them?

Let’s just face the bottom line… I hate them!

The End…

A collection of things

Well last night my sister and I witnessed true genius at work:

Sis: (to store employee) “Do you sell Fabric here?”

Employee: “No”

Sis: “ ok Thank you.”

Employee: “Well actually last week a lady was asking me about fabric and there is this aisle. I can take you to it… it has like rugs…..and…”

Sis and I: “No that’s ok…”

Employee walks away…
Sis and I proceed to laugh about it for the rest of the night.

Sis decides he must be watching too much project runway. Rugs Fabric not the same thing. Then we needed to find the Halloween clearance and I suggested asking the employee again I also suggested what his answer would be… “Oh Halloween clearance I have some Halloween stuff in my truck I can take you over to my car…”

What a fun night we had with Melted cheese and chocolate, looking at shoes that are too expensive, shopping fun, and clueless employees! Sister nights are always fun! The only thing to make them better is adding the Queen (mom)! Which will happen Sunday!! Crafty funday!

I have been to two roller derby practices since I wrote so many moons ago. They have been fun and I love it!! Just like I suspected I would!! I still haven’t come close to finishing forever blanket #2. But some day I will and I will tell you all about it… I think.

Well I don’t feel like writing anything else b/c it’s Friday. And somehow by some miracle of God I wish that we would get out of work early today… I doubt that is going to happen. O’well, have a great weekend.

YOU YES YOU

MUST GO HERE and ENTER the CONTEST!!

Please and thank you from the bottom of my half mexican half i don't know what else heart!

:) (ps it's friday wahoo!!)

Can i get a moment?

So lots of things happening and not happening! I finished the baby blanket. It's cute and soft and i gave it to the father to be. he seemed really touched by it. Which leads me to believe that no one gave them a hand made blanket yet.... i guess all their friends and family are buy it types. Interesting. (also he quick put it in his car so that his wife could open it 1st which i think is super cute.)

I attend a really pretty wedding this weekend. It was nice and fun and the bride looked pretty! :O) Not to mention she is super nice and now i have to start working on the blanket for her. (so i have taken it out twice oh wait make that three times and i think i can now really make some head way on it.) Attending this wedding i think woke my honey up or something as to the cost of weddings/receptions. So he had a mini break down over it. I think i have managed to talk him off his ledge. Not sure.

He has perhaps come to the realization that we are paying for whatever we have. (i already knew this and am quite fine with this in fact i like this.) I think that made him realize that you can't just pick a fancy place and go from there. 1st you need a list of how many people and depending on that you then go to the venue. Then the food. I have no doubt that no matter where we have it that we can make it lovely. I already have a thousand and one ideas on decorations... and a theme.... and the list goes on and on. I just need to ease his mind and get him out of fancy pantsy mode i think.

I left my cell phone at my mom's house last night and she is truly hilarious. I called her from the Honey's phone when i got home just to make sure i did leave it there. She said "Oh yeah i was wondering what that fancy calculator was doing on the counter." LOL yes mom i left my fancy calculator at your house. So today with out it i feel a little naked, a little dirty, a little happy, a little sad, a little nutty, and a little free.

I am 90% certain i will be joining a roller derby team real soon! I can't wait!!! it will be awesome! so i hope. I feel like the physical activity of it alone would be awesome. I don't know yet for 100% but i really am excited about it. All the people involved that i have meet so far are so super nice. Fun FUN!

I have a list of exciting things come up soon:
Social Distortion show
Zip Lining
Crafting at the sisters!
The GEM show (gemmy gem gem)
Roller Derby
Roller Derby
Paying of a Credit Card
AND MUCH MORE!!!!

I can't wait for all the fun FUN! OK i suppose i should go now and work or something.

3 day luck

So this weekend was great! 3 days of awesome doesn't happen often and this weekend it did! Friday i jogged/walked/died with my friend Kristin. then we went to dinner with her friends and brother and pretty much spent the rest of the night laughing. Hysterically. I laughed so much my jaw hurt. Saturday Katie and i went shopping and i found a really pretty dress for the wedding i am going to (note NOT in just attending) next weekend! Also everything that i wanted at Target seemed to be on sale! FUN!! Then we went to my other friends house where we proceeded to laugh our butts off (they are still there though) all night. So Sunday was a nice fun day with the honey! No fighting no crazy-ness just fun! we even went to visit Kristin at Uno's where i got yummy flat bread pizza & pizza skins!

I just had to document the 3 days in a row of fun b/c it really happens quite less then you would think. Also in there i stole some music for Topod from my friend's computers! I ate lots of yummy things! and i am now ready for this week to be over quickly.

Oh we didn't get to see the neat-o too good to be true apartment on Sunday b/c the son decided not to move out. Which when you think about it he would have to crazy to want to move out especially in these times. save that money. It's just too bad for us he wised up. but then again maybe it's not b/c what if we were in there and he wanted to come back and we got told to take a hike! UGH that would be awful.

Alrighty i am going to go try and work or something. Have the best Monday ever. or something.

Tuesday

Horrid day. Boring.... wretched. Hoping i don't have to join the meeting. Trying to make pretty reports. Hoping i don't explode and punch someone. He does deserve it, oh how badly he does. UPDATE: I'm off the hook so far! Sweet marmalade! I was about 90% certain i was going to get yelled at today. So far that wont happen.... so far.

So anyhow, crocheting still happening. No soccer last night. Went to my moms last night. She made yummy food. We got into a tiff at the end of the night. Yeah i annoyed her but she didn't have to pinch my fat so hard. Grrrrrr. But we hugged and made up. Fun times!

Pay day needs to come like now i want to:

- Pay off Credit Card #5
- Pay back someone for an iPod
- Buy some new cheap sweaters

Speaking of iPods i got a purple iPod Nano that i seem to be in love with. it's cute and has all these neat things. So what if Apple is trying to systematically control each human by getting them all to buy iPods. I guess I'm a Pod person now. (i know the horror.)

Sunday we had lunch at Honeys Dad's house. It was interesting. His step mom and I had a good conversation about Stores and their customer loyalty base. how some places stay in business and you wonder how. don't get me wrong i <3 the big K but how do they stay in business? while their clearance items are awesome.... their everyday prices on everyday things leave something to be desired. Anyhow, it's all very interesting.... kind makes me interested in business until i realize i hate corporations and selling. I'm to honest and i care too much.

Well I'm done now. You talk.

It's the book end

FRIDAY!

You know around here Fridays are like gold....ok better then gold b/c i don't like yellow gold but gold is worth money so i guess lets look at it that way.....Fridays are like gold. (lol) And it's Friday and though i have no idea what i am really doing this weekend.... it's a weekend. And as long as i'm not going to the dentist, or some other doctor it should be FUN!!

I am rapidly getting done the baby star blanket as i suspected would happen. (Hey sis i will totally make you one in lap size.... pick out some colors!!) I haven't gotten much of the newest forever blanket done....no sweat. I do however need to buy more yarn for the newest forever blanket.

I have over the last year maybe 2 fallen in love with these amazing wedding photographers and thought how awesome would it be to have them there for my wedding. BUT in REAL life i can't afford them and even if could do i want to pay that much? AWESOME PICS yes but i don't want to be paying for my wedding years after my wedding. So i think most likely there wont be a photographer just the people around us pictures. Is that crazy?

My goal for my "wedding" is to not spend too much but still have fun and make it our own. I already have one giant part of it in place and i kind of don't care too much about the rest. As far as the food and such goes....doesn't mass production of food always suck? i kind of just wish i could have yummy appetizers but i know i can't. People going to a party at night would want dinner or they might start getting crabby.

So anyways will this blog become an all about wedding blog.... doubt it. from time to time i might talk about it. but i don't see it becoming an every post topic.

Anyways, my b-day was awesome! SUPER fun! SUPER GREAT! SUPER THANKS TO EVERYONE! :o) (i think i gained 10 pounds....)
