Crop it all the way to the garbage.

Today was a Me Day. Go me! I took myself shopping in Halifax, or Metallifax as we now like to call it since seeing Metallica there.

Shopping was good... spent more than I intended but whatever. Could have been worse if I had bought the $165 Steve Madden booties I wanted. I figured I'd wait on them since I DO have a birthday coming up soon... hint...HINT HINT. Actually I've already told Chris straight up that I want the boots for my bday gift. No sense beating around the bush! Might end up with some sort of slippers or electronics if I'm not clear about what I'm getting at. Hehe... actually, to Chris's credit he is quite good at pinpointing things that are in my taste. Boots are possibley out of his league though... so I might casually find the boots online and make it my desktop background... you know, just as a little reminder for when the time comes... ;)

I did face some level of disappointment during my shopping experiences today though. For one, I was getting bored with talking to myself in my head. That wasn't too upsetting though, as I think it was evened out by the fact that I could take as much time as I wanted with no complaints from fellow companion(s) to worry about. The major dismay of the day was realizing that the "in" style right now is cropped shirts. Gross. It was bad enough that for the last couple of years the "in" thing was extra long shirts, which obviously doesn't go over well with an extra short girl. Not like I wanted to look like I have legs or anything... Anyway, at least with long shirts I could alter them or tuck them up or whatever to make them fit me accordingly. What the hell do you do with a cropped shirt to make you not appear like some sort of 80's flashback human rectangle? It's just not working for me, so therefore I once again pass on another fashion fad. Sorry... looks like you'll all have to continue living with me in my grandma-esque sweaters for a while.



This style was in every store today.



Chris says I like grandma clothes... he's not wrong.


There you go Yvonne! Hope this post was worthy of your continued loyalty ;)

Might go loopy if I have to do this again... OH WAIT, I do.

PHEW. One busy week done. Too bad I get to repeat most of it again soon. It was certainly filled with lots of stimulation... not all of which was the pleasant kind.

Monday, Tuesday, & Wednesday:
Day camps. Are. So. Stressful. I don't know why I always put myself through this. To be fair though, it wasn't really the kids that caused me stress this time... actually, most of the girls were really great kids. The problem was that some people seem to have trouble upholding their committments. I understand that things come up and you may be busy, but if that's the case then why can't you tell me straight up, so I can plan accordingly? Instead, I got stuck with 2 1/2 hours to kill by myself with nine pre-teen girls, on a rainy day. Awesome, thanks so much for that. I could rant for days about all the things that pissed me off within those three days alone, but instead I will work toward being a stronger woman and move on. Must try to learn from experience and make changes... some of which I have already put in motion, and things are looking up! Go me!

Thursday:
Seven. Hours. In. The. Rain. Freezing cold rain and wind I might add. Good god, I wish the weather people had warned me with these special little details, maybe then I could have better prepared myself in an effort to avoid shivering so much I got neck spasms, which is what really ended up happening. Oh yeah, and we got a $25 parking ticket. Halifax, you rock, thanks.  Anyhow, I survived (barely) and Metallica was pretty awesome and surreal. Also, the lead singer of Coheed and Cambria has mesmerizing hair. Look it up. Not a huge fan of the music, but couldn't stop watching the hair. He reminds me SO MUCH of Animal from the muppets.

Friday:
AM - Dead. No energy. Burnt out.
PM - Worked for half a day, then mooched supper off the fam, came home and mostly did nothing productive.

Saturday (AKA today):
Dyed my own hair again... SUCCESSFULLY! This was really a risky endeavor and it usually ends badly... but today I got smart and sat in the bathtub with a mirror propped up, and everything turned out well! Horray! Then I cleaned up and went to the mall seeking a bday gift for a friend... also successful. Tonight will involve partying to celebrate the afore mentioned friends bday. Tomorrow will probably be a repeat of this past Friday AM. Oh well!

That's all for today reader people... sorry I am lacking in posts lately... will try to improve this when I am not busy entertaining and educating stacks of attitude in the form of pre-teen girls.

stats seem pretty accurate...
