well. i had the ear issue for..okay, well, i still have it. this morning, i didn’t call the dr. because it seemed way better. as the day goes on, it gets worse again. although, in fairness, my nose wasn’t running and my eyes weren’t watering all day.
so, i got up to run some errands and chatted with one of my favorite peeps, gabe and found out that they are still attempting to get a small arts festival in our town going. after talking to him for a while, i kind of realized that i have become so stressed about getting sick and having to ditch out on plans, or leave early (i stopped talking to someone because of that.) in addition to attempting to avoid the people that i dislike, i often don’t do the things that i want to do. or, i make myself so stressed about it that i feel like i don’t really want to do it at all. i don’t want to be that person. i don’t want to be uninvolved in my community. that has never been me. that isn’t me. i am going to try my best. let me go on to say that gabe has been really pushing his work out there and has kept on it and has gotten to be really well known in this area, and for an area not really so open to art…that is something. it really is.
i found an awesome bra at…TARGET! i have been spending at least 40 bucks on bras that are not terribly comfy and not terribly attractive and then saw one there that was 15 bucks and tried it on and it is fantastic! i have big boobs and it is really something to find a good bra. that said, i bought 2 more today. i was actually looking for this dress in a medium, the dress was on sale cheap at my target, but they didn’t have it in a medium, so i went to another target but they didn’t have it either and online it isn’t on sale. although, honestly, it is only 25 bucks. i know, i am cheap. i got the same dress in black with white polka dots and it is really flattering and comfy. i think i should wear this style of dress every single day. i wish i could find em in cotton. i would love that. this is why i need to learn to sew. seriously.
i went to st vincent depaul, my favorite thrift store, where the checkout girl is a retired lunch lady from my college who gives me even more stuff for even more cheap prices. i always try to argue, she never lets me. she used to let me eat meals at the cafeteria even though i didn’t live on campus. she didn’t know. you hill girls remember margaret? such a sweet lady. i got some really cool stuff there…
and there is more on my flickr, so go check er out!
also, i got photos of the two birds i finished…no backstories yet, though.
we have a mohawk on the boy, and his cute tie and then the girl has a little stray feather and a crocheted scarf. cute? i have a couple more of em stuffed but no faces or legs or anything yet, so that will be to-morrow. i also will be updating the luxe.etsy.com store in the next few days. i have a bunch of yarns and fiber. bunch!
i think that about does it. i didn’t sleep last night. literally. i finished the new chuck p. book yesterday and it was fantastic. i will have to read it again. so clever. and i started a book called mappa mundi which is about technology that is supposed to treat mental illness and help people to feel happy and content. it of course falls into the wrong hands and they are working to use it as a mass weapon. it is actually really good so far and her writing is a nice change of pace and fun to read. i am not so good with the words myself, not even to describe it. gah.
mwah!
