This week I’ve wanted to do nothing but spend money. It sucks because I almost never want to spend money. Sure I’ll window shop online all the time, and I have a few things I regularly purchase online each month. That doesn’t explain what’s going on with me right now though. It’s like I can’t visit any kind of e-store without wanting to buy something!
Thankfully I’m just about flat broke. After buying some makeup and a couple new domain names I wiped out my fun money stash for this week. I thought I was going to get to buy some new clothes as well, but what extra cash I had got transferred to the “how the fOOk are we going to pay for gas fund”.
Maybe this heat is doing weird things to my brain, and that’s why I’ve wanted to do nothing but spend. It’s turning me into some weird girl who actually enjoys shopping for clothes and random garbage. *BARF* I even ran around in a couple stores today for more than an hour just looking! Yeah, it’s got to be the heat.
Thank god we’ve got storms moving in today that’s supposed to cool everything off. I need the old me back!
I did something tonight that I really needed. I went to the in-laws, and we relaxed in their little pool. It’s one of those Walmart type above grounds, so it’s not really big, but it’s plenty to just chill in. I seriously feel a lot better today, and it’s amazing how lounging in a pool can drain all the stress right out of you!
I did something else I haven’t done in years, too. It was starting to get dark which reminded me I really needed to hit up the Family Dollar before they closed at 9, so we hopped out of the pool, took off to the store, and I shopped in my shorts and tankini. I hate how I look in a swimsuit, so normally I’m covering myself up before I head in anywhere like that, but I didn’t have a t-shirt with me. I had to suck it up and shop like that.
At least I made it to the store 15 minutes before they closed, so I got to grab everything I needed. That’s one less trip I’ll have to make tomorrow. I do still have to hit up the grocery store. I got almost all the ingredients to make my own laundry detergent, but of course Family Dollar doesn’t carry Washing Soda. I didn’t expect they would. I still need to pick up vinegar, too. The largest size they had was really small, so I’ll grab a bigger bottle of it tomorrow.
I need a new mop, but the dollar store just didn’t have any floor mops that I like. I’m tired of buying the crappy $2 ones that fall apart in a month anyway. I want a good microfiber one that’ll get the job done and hold up for awhile.
Right now I’m making my shopping list so I’ll have it ready to go in the morning, then I’m going to setup a blog for my little sister in law. She’s 13 now, and she’s mostly keeping a diary on her computer in notepad. I told her I’d hook her up with a blog, and that way she can set it up so only her friends and family can see it. Of course that way I can kind of monitor it (like I do her myspace) to make sure she isn’t saying anything she shouldn’t be either.
I just called my mom to let her know I won’t be going shopping today. It’s not because all this nasty weather has moved in. It’s because I’ve been laying in bed for the past 4 hours listening to that nasty weather. I’ve tried everything within my power to get some sleep, but my insomnia has kicked in once again.
I definitely don’t want to spend all day traipsing around the mall while she tells me what she thinks I should be wearing “at my age”. I’ll save that for another day when I don’t feel like shit.
I am however about to drag Hubby out of bed. *evil grin* I’m hungry, and a trip to Hardees for breakfast would really hit the spot right now. Heck I started getting hunger pains about the time I tried to go to sleep. Hubby woke up around 4:30 due to all the weather. It got pretty nasty out…so bad that our power went out for about an hour. I asked him then if he wanted to go get breakfast this morning, and he told me to wake him up. So, I better not hear him complaining when I drag him out of bed!
I’m off to throw my freshly showered hair in a pony tail, throw on my Clemson jogging pants, and a tank top, and I’m out the door. Maybe getting some food in my stomach will make me feel like taking a nap when we get home.
I was sitting here playing around in Paint Shop Pro trying to clear my head, and I heard the bottom drop. It’s been raining steadily for the past couple of hours now. As much as we really need the rain, and I’m thankful for every drop we get, I just really don’t want it to rain all day tomorrow. Looks like that’s exactly what it’s going to do though.
It’s almost 3am already, but I have to be up by 9 to go shopping with my mom. She promised to buy me lots of girly things I’m needing if I’ll go with her. She hates going all the way to Greenville by herself. I know…a few days ago I talked about how much I hate going to the mall. Guess what…that hasn’t changed! I still hate going to the mall, but if Mama’s buying I’ma goin’!
Then I wanted to come back home and check out a new boutique in town. We don’t have many stores in our little town, so when something new and interesting opens I’m definitely checking it out. This new little store on main street (I can’t even remember what SIL said it’s named) is supposed to be like a ton of clothes that are handmade from all natural materials.
Hmm…I wonder if they carry any vegan shoes? I know they’re supposed to specialize in clothing made out of hemp and stuff like that, so it’s definitely a store I’d be interested to shop in.
I just don’t want to be subjected to all this shopping in the pouring rain. Shopping is bad enough on it’s own!
