Friday, February 18th, 2005[Entry 284]so won't you be fair...
Kind of a bizarro day.
First off, I woke up and my ass hurt. I've never used one of Susan Somer's butt-masters...but I think my butt feels like I used a butt-master for 10 hours straight. So much for crouching and sitting on my office floor cutting out shit yesterday. My co-worker was feeling the pain today, too. I was so puzzled when I woke up..."I haven't worked out since Tuesday...how can this be?" It hurts to walk. It hurts to move. It hurts to sit. Should I be sharing this? Probably not...but tough shit.
I took a 1/2 day at work. It was such a busy and stressful week...things calmed down and I had three more days to use...figured I might as well take what I can when I can take it. I drove home and found the mailperson had brought me the rest of the rebates from my computer (talk about fast). Logged into my bank account and saw that I got my Michigan tax refund back and my federal tax refund back. Cha-ching! I threw most of it into savings and decided to "treat" myself to some shopping...something I haven't been getting a whole lot of lately. Which is stupid...because here I'm slightly stressing about a condo purchase and how I will be in the poorhouse if I bite the bullet...but off I go to buy clothes.
My mom and I went out to Fairlane. I went in the Diesel store and walked out with nothing but a few free postcards and the promo calendar for this year. My third Diesel calendar. It's a wall calendar, even. I was thinking of putting it up at work...but I already have a huge year calendar on my wall, a monthly desk calendar, and not to mention my planner. I put up that Diesel calendar and it's like, "Hello...I love dates!" Anyway, there was a Diesel turtleneck on sale that I saw when I bought my purse many moons ago. Even the sale didn't tempt me. I am so proud of myself! Oh, and I saw my "dream" sandals...and I didn't even feel the slightest urge to blow $90 on them. Is it pathetic I'm congratulating myself on not over-endulging? Perhaps. I'm just glad that it's become EASY not to spend money. I'm proud of myself.
The main reason I wanted to go to the "mall" was because I got $10 to spend at Victoria's Secret for my birthday (from V Secret). I fucking hate that place, but free panties are worth the trip. I was very excited about this until I saw some stuff I really wanted and noticed the sizes were either xs/s or m/l. Two sizes to take the place of four? I'm sorry, but how can you guarentee that fit?!? YOU CAN'T! Cosabella (highly overrated stuff, don't waste your $$$) does that dumb double size thing but if I remember correctly they do xs/s, s/m, m/l. So at least you feel more confident in that sizing than a choice of two. After much debate I went and waited in line with mediocre stuff...and decided, "screw this!" and I threw that stupid underwear back into the damn bin. I hate that store!
I did get some cute things at Forever 21; a dress for one of the weddings I have to attend and two shirts. The dress is pretty damn cool; it's a kimono style. Hits around the knee. Black. 3/4 huge sleeves. Deep v front and back. Ties at the waist in the back. I'm thinking for the August wedding(s). Oh, and it was $26. Do I care if it's from Forever 21? Hell no! Not for $26!
My mom and I went on some more little adventures; we had one sour one. We both had to pee...bad. We were gonna go to TJ Maxx at Northland mall...but I thought it would be a better idea to go to the Target and pee there...because bathrooms at Target are always in the front. The Northland Target was the craziest, busiest Target in all the land. I was slowly driving down an aisle, looking for a space...and some women actually passed me up in the aisle because she was an impatient bitch. That parking lot was a 90 car pile up waiting to happen. Gotta love the Southfield/Detroit border. Anyway...there wasn't a parking spot to be found...so I opted for TJ's. Only. We get to the TJ Maxx and discover it has been closed. That was the secret TJ Maxx! The totally shitty one that had the best clearances! Sure, it was a pig sty and rarely had new merchandise...but this news was sad. Tragic, really.
Not even going to touch the condo happenings with a ten foot pole; maybe some other time. Something happened tonight that I still can not even put my hands around...topped off the night and definitely made it categorized as "bizarre."
And so here I am; bitching about my butt and whining because a ghetto TJ Maxx closed. Happy freaking Friday!
