I haven't had time to come up with any real posts lately... I mean all I've been doing is posting pictures and stuff. Oh well. So I guess this is my semi update for you!

Today I ate two hot dogs for breakfast. Ughhhhhh. That did NOT go down right. I am sitting here in front of the computer, waiting for this storm inside me to die down. Tears will come out of my eyes at any moment. Last week I ate a Culver's hamburger for breakfast and the same thing happened to me. I think I am world's biggest idiot at eating right and eating healthy. Unfortunately, for the next nine hours I will be stuck STANDING as a cashier. The cash registers are the farthest things in the store from the bathrooms T___T

I'm trying to get more hours from my work place so I don't have to stay at home and mope around being bored. Usually on days I don't have to work I sit here on xanga for about five hours straight. I suck at life.

You know what dosen't suck at life?

This dress. I want it. It's $22 at Gojane.com. Honestly, I'll never spend that much on an item of clothing so I will probably only drool at pictures of this dress until I die.

Since I am soooo effing cheap I will probably get a $10 wedding dress. Speaking of which, even at Salvation Army they are at least $20.

Anyway, I'm just kidding. I'm not THAT cheap but I do love a good bargain. Here are some recent steals:

$7 tote bag from J Crew. I bought it to the lake the next day. After taking like four photos none of them would show off how pretty the purple really was. Bummer, cause well.. it rocks. And how many of you can honestly say you've found anything at a better price than this at J. Crew?

I got these a few days ago at Tyler's. They were only $5. Marked down from like $40. There were other styles for $5 but I believe I chose the cutest.

OKAY. While we're still talking about how cheap I am, do you guys evere ask for discounts when you buy stuff? Like, if you see a tiny rip you're allowed to ask for a discount, right? Anyway, I shop at some of the stupidest places in order to get good deals. One example of a stupid place is Papaya.

You can read the reviews here but I can just tell you. It's basically where all baby mamas shop. I go in cause I'm attracted to the $3, $5, $7 sales (uh, HELLO? Who wouldnt?) but I have to navigate through strollers and teenage mothers giving additude to their boyfriends. Clothes are everywhere, it's pretty much an obstancle course. Everything is pretty ghetto. Even the "ghetto" girls at my school get prom dresses here. However, I really like this store can I can get some cute stuff that none of my other friends have. And it's not like I'm gonna wear a tank top every day so I don't reallly care about "durablity" or whatever everyone was complaining about on the review site.

Anyway, on thier $5 rack, they always have cute dresses but there's always something wrong with them. There's a giant sharpie mark down the front, all the buttons are missing, it's torn, blah blah blah. I see it as - aww, it's just one widdle rip! I can fix it :)

However, lasttime I went there were tons of holes on a similar dress (to the gojane one but it was alot crappier). I asked for a discount and they denied me one. Soooo gizzay, that was the closest they would have EVER come to a stupid customer buying something that looks like a dog ate.

Oh yeah since I have such a big heart for broken clothes, look what I got at Charlotte Russe last week for $6:

It has a huge rip in the zipper but nothing I couldn't fix. That's why the cropping is so awkward. I just saved you guys from the classiness of a Care Bear bra (I hadn't yet fixed it). Also, the dress my friend is wearing is also $6 at a once-in-a-lifetime sale at Dillards. I seriously wet my pants when I saw it, I mean, it's cute and it was of a well known brand. AHHHH! Too bad it's too big for me but it looks SO CUTE on Ali.

Okay, let's stop talking about clothes.

As you can see from a few posts ago I got a new fish. His name is Arnold!

However, a few hours after getting him I could tell that he's really sickly. I mean, you see in the photo? That's his default posistion. He never moves. Even when you tap on the glass and stuff. He even has this weird black stuff on his fins. It's kind of sad, but I didn't know what to do to help him.

I returned him and got another betta fish - GUSTAV!

My mom picked out Gustav and he was one of the liveliest ones in his cup. He wasn't sitting dead at the bottom, like everyone else was. He's been in his new tank for about an hour and he's swimming around all happy and stuff. Plus he's sooooo pretty.

Anyway, I think I will conclude this post for now since I have to get ready for work. Did I tell you guys that they changed the CD? Now we have to listen to Spongebob shit mix. It's already stuck in my head and I have to listen to it for another nine hours.

I had an amazing time at the lake today with el Pilster.

It's cool how things work out. Taking pictures of your best friends are always... the best (lack of better adjective.... hahaha).

Soooo cute, right? We both came home with nasty sunburns, though.

She's leaving for the Philipines for two weeks. I'm gonna die without her!

BETTA DAYS.

Everyone meet Nawanda and Arnold.

Boo!

Welcome home.

That packaged I ordered...

....finally arrived!

I got to paint on a moutain today. With one of my best friends in the entire world.

I don't think life gets any better than this.

Probably the best self portrait I have ever taken of myself. Bwahaha.

Proof that Ali and I were never meant to smoke:

1. Bic pen = cigarette
2. terrible "smoke" on photoshop

When I'm at the gym, the main body part I work out is my abs. It's cause my legs are already beyond muscular and my arms.. are just another story. My arms are so weak it's not even funny. I always have to set the machine at the lowest possible weight just so my arm can get a good work out. It's embarassing and it's even more embarassing how sore my arms feel after that. Haha. Okay point being, I'm obsessed  with toning my abs because I love the feeling of having good, strong abs.

A few days ago I went intense on these suckers and the result was awesome. They were hard and I spent much of my free time poking them. I also get the people at my work place to come feel the hardness.* Sweet!

However... I have been experiencing lots of pain there. I don't know if what I'm eating affects it but I have been seeing the toilet alot lately. My abs still hurt, even though it's like three days since working out.

I don't know what to do. I don't really have any friends who go to the gym, either. So I don't know what's up with my body.

I saw this at one of my favorite stationery stores and it made me laugh. It reminds me of my mom cause she drives this huge van and drives all of my sisters' friends around. I wanted to buy it for her birthday.

For a while, I've had this idea for a photo. I really wanted to do it for a long time so yesterday, I actually got off my fatass and attempted it. I had to use a ladder on self timer, since my dad broke the tripod (funny story, I'll save it for later). My original sketch of how I wanted it to go down was like this:

We'd be sitting on a bench or something, and I'd be wearing a cute dress or something and it'd be a really... cute photo. We'd be staring at eachother, smiling, all cute-like (Yeah, I'm running out of adjectives. Hahahaha). Anyway, the problem with this idea photograph was :

1. cute clothes = not so cute after contact with my dog
   She gets hair and dirt on everything. A big I WANT TO GIVE EVERYONE IN THE WORLD A HUG kind of dog. So I had to go with jeans and the basic stuff I wouldn't mind getting dirty.
2. my dog is a serial humper
   I got humped about seven times during my attempt for this photo. I will never ever sit down near my dog ever again in my life. This "kneel" or whatever you want to call it is the closest I will ever come. Heck, even standing is not a good idea around my dog

Annnnd... there you have it! All in all, it turned out alright. The main point was for us to look at eachother and the viewer gets a man's-best-friend kind of feeling.

I seriously have the best friends ever. I keep recieving awesome souvineers! I am so so undeserving.
