I’m now super happy that I never, ever bought a Yankee Candle at full retail price, and now only buy them at Ross (not even...I pass them over for the nicer candles at Ross that are cheaper, too!).

Ha, was gonna say...if it’s not at Ross or on major sale at B&BW, then it’s not being bought... And even when I had money, I couldn’t justify Yankee Candle’s prices! Yankee Candle at Ross, though...

Hipsters who are too cool for school. :) Tell them it’s organic, fair trade pineapple. They might try it!

Hey, “Hawaiian” pizza is actually pretty damn tasty to me and my entire immediate family, even though we know no one eats that shit in Hawaii. heh.

Best of luck on all your changes! I have to do the apartment and food ones, as well, but right now, my main concern is getting a new job.

Who else had one of the worst weeks of their lives? Both work and family has just gone to shit, and on the same day. Thank goodness I’m trying to extricate myself from the work situation, and that it wasn’t my fault in the first place.

I’m right there with you. Everything seems to be coming to a head this month... I just want it to be over.

As a Beatlemaniac since the age of 12, I never fully understood the hatred for Yoko (was too young at that age to pin it to racism or just deranged lust for John). But the older I get, the more I love her. She’s just a cool person, period.

Yup. As a zaftig woman, I try to avoid buying clothes on Amazon from a brand I’m not familiar with already. Most of the places on Amazon or eBay are Asian cheap clothing peddlers who cater to petite Asian sizes, which means I have to buy a size XXXXL in order to begin hoping it will fit!

I save the wrappers from my maxi pads and wrap them in toilet paper, as well. So toilet paper, then the maxi pad wrappers.

For years, I just called it “lulumon”, like one of pokemon’s sisters...

It was just a moment of self-critical weakness on my part. They were out there, spending their Saturday waving signs at passers-by, and I was feeling like a chump after the initial high of seeing non-conservative protestors on that corner for the first time ever. The look of disappointment on her face, though... I…

Your 3 is grass. heh heh. Man, I need to watch all the episodes on Netflix again...

Ooh, making clothing totally intimidates me. Maybe because I hate the measuring and cutting part, maybe because I just don’t have the attention span! I used to make my own messenger bags, and those would take me so long because of the measuring and cutting. The actual sewing part would take only a couple of days…

So for once, there were awesome protestors by the mall near me, holding up “Support Abortion Providers” and “Fight the Patriarchy” and “Support Planned Parenthood and Women’s Health” signs. So as I passed then, I gave them a thumbs up and said, “Keep up the good work, guys!”

::internet hugs all around for you and your family::

I need to get started sewing some Xmas gifts for the ladies in the office. Just little card/coin holders with snaps to close it securely. They’re really easy for me to put together, and not a burden for my tiny, crappy Hello Kitty sewing machine that I bought for $8 at Goodwill.

Hooray! Thanks for the Brandi beauty box link! Totally bookmarking it!

Worse, I get that shit at work.

Glad you didn’t have a crap attack! :) And hope you’re feeling better soon!
