I Feel Like Sh*t

I Feel Like Sh*t

After a week of emotional stress (relationship), insomnia, crazy hectic work week, late night shopping endeavors, poor nutrition (no time!), exposure to various cooties, a lot of going outside in the cold, a bunch of heavy lifting and time spent immersed in allergens and dry air, I feel like shit. Haha I sound like one of those spoof Christmas songs about the stresses of the season.
ALL of my bills were due this week and with the shopping I've done, I'm just about out of money until Wednesday. But I'm not done shopping. And I have to eat.
Dammit! I just realized the really nice large cup of fresh fruit I bought last night to eat today has been sitting out all night/morning. :(
My body is absolutely craving health and nourishment. Mmmm I can just taste those yummy succulent berries and pineapple.
Jill says I can still eat it. Yay!
I have a lot of crafty stuff to do today. Decorating funny stockings for the roommates. Making mom's gift (I'll moblog it when finished). And a similar project for Christine. My humungous Christmas card undertaking ... Even though I can't recall ever successfully mailing out plain old cards, for some reason I decided that this year I would transfer different pictures from my camera phone of people's pets (my petsitting clients) to my computer, edit them and somehow print them (Kodak kiosk or hook up a printer and buy photo paper) and insert them in photo frame cards. In addition to doing regular cards for everyone else. And I have zero addresses procured at this point.
I think I've decided to cancel all the fun stuff I was hoping to do today. Cuz it's far away and I'm tired & feel crappy. I was going to visit Christine and then cross the street to Pentagon City for shopping. And see Ocean's 12 w/ her & Lex. And go to her parent's party and then her friend's party.
I am craving Christmas cookies. Hopefully there will be some at my aunt & uncle's open house tomorrow, when I get to meet my cousin's baby (if it turns out I don't have cooties). This baby is the first of the next generation on my mom's side of the family.
I just remembered that Flurry's mom is getting married today. I hope it all goes splendidly.
I'm gonna go use a coupon and get lunch now.

And So It Begins

And So It Begins

Yay! I won my first eBay auction. And I received positive feedback:

"Super Quick Payment!!! Excellent Transaction!!! Asset to Ebay!"

Internet Shopping Surprises

Internet Shopping Surprises

So I'm looking up the anniversary edition of Annie on DVD on Overstock.com and it suggests to me that customers who bought my favorite childhood movie "often buy ... 'Heavenly Hooters'" (as well as 'Dora the Explorer' and 'Aladdin'). Heavenly Hooters is described as "a busty babe beachathon in this boobular bonanza as twenty talented tootsies frolic in the sand wearing everything from skimpy bikinis to just a smile and a tan. Also includes a bonus DVD game titled 'Fake or Real'."
Surprise #2: Did you know you can buy actual live puppies on Amazon.com? That can't be a good thing. Upon closer inspection, it's through "Sponsored Links," not directly through Amazon. But the links came up right in the middle of the list of items when I did a search for 'pug,' thinking I'd get shirts and mugs and books.

My Bidding

My Bidding

So even though I've had an eBay account for years, I've never used it. Today I made a bid for my first time ever. The auction ends at 9:20 a.m. I hope I get it. It's a gift for Christine. Martini glasses to complete her set. For her new home! Even though they can be found on Amazon.com, they are no longer available there or anywhere.

That Sex Guy

I saw Kinsey this week. I thought it was done very well. I enjoyed it and found it quite thought-provoking. I will want the DVD when it comes out.

The next person I'm with is going to play the cello beautifully and play it for me all the time.

December

December

How the hell did it get to be Dec. 4 already? Geez. My lazy butt has done nothing today except sleep a lot, do a little work on the computer and some goofing off on the computer, make my to-do list and start some laundry. I'm about to head across the street to Panera. Mmmmm. For a You Pick 2 combo of Frontega Chicken panini and broccoli cheddar soup and a cold cola (must have caffeine & sugar!). Then I need a shower. I have a lot of cleaning to do. I'm a bit of a disorganized slob. I also need to brainstorm further my gift ideas and shop for supplies to make some of them.
And I brought work home. Gotsta read up on some of the animals and create care sheets for them. Good information to know, but it is work and takes away from my slacking time. My fish need their bowls changed too. I was sure my newest fish was going to die. He hadn't eaten for the first 3 weeks I'd had him. I tried 4 different kinds of food. And added a warming lamp. He started eating the other day. So I guess I need a name for him after all. (The other 2 are Mr. Fishy & Patches.)
Anyone have a good local mechanic? My car is a POS and a death-trap. Can't afford to fix the non-existent suspension. I probably shouldn't keep putting off fixing the violent shaking or the exhaust coming inside causing nausea. I keep the vents closed and don't use the heat and open the windows if it gets too noxious. The leaking in the rain onto the driver's seat is more of an annoyance than a hazard, so it can stay. The wiper that's falling off on the driver's side should probably be replaced. And I'm about 2500 miles overdue for an oil change. At least I'm not missing the broken A/C in this weather. Thank goodness I'll be done paying for this piece of crap in January.
