& that's the way life goes

One thing about me is that I have never spent over $30 on jeans or anything really. I’m kind of cheap. I mean I would love to but I don’t have the extra cash for splurging. So while I was at Macy’s today I was trying on jeans. Sticking to the ones that were on clearance or $34 (ok so I’d spend $34, but that’s pushing it). But I tried on a pair of Silver jeans just to try them on and pretend I’d buy them (you do that too right?). They were perfect, so I took a peak at the price tag…$68. But the more I turned and looked at myself in the mirror I told myself that I deserved to have a nice pair of jeans! So I looked around some more but didn’t see any worth trying on and decided to pay. The lady at the register told me if I used my card I’d get 15% off and I was like “Bonus!” and then she rang the jeans up! They were $36!!!!! And with the 15% off they ended up being $28.90!

Wooohooo!!!! I love getting good sale prices!

On sale for $16.99!

On sale for $12

Things have been really rough for me lately so I can’t tell you how ECSTATIC I was! It totally made my day. I love productive shopping trips!

Ok I’m going to admit something to you…I watch America’s Best Dance Crew on MTV. Shut It! Most of the time I feel too old to watch MTV but I’m fascinated by this show. C’mon the groups choreograph their own shit and I find it utterly amazing.  Check out the performances.

That said…WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED LAST NIGHT?! The 2 crews in the bottom were by far the best crews on the show and one of them got sent home?! What the fuck is up with that fanny pack group? Send them home! I’m still mad about this. Usually, I don’t get this invested in reality tv, but I’m very angry about this.

Ok *end RANT

In other news this weekend will consist of maybe ripping up more carpet for a house we won’t be living in for much longer and throwing out the nasty couches.

Also, maybe hanging out with my friend L. We’ve been going through a lot of the same shit lately, it’s a little freaky how well we can relate to one another. The way we met is also a story in itself.

I’m getting my haircut and eyebrows waxed tomorrow. I know, I’m so exciting! Right

If the weather is nice we might go on the boat Sunday. Funtastic! I’m losing my tan so I hope to be outside as much as possible this weekend.

I hope yours is fabulous!!!!

One last thing…

There is a Tae Kwon Do tournament in Hawaii in December and there is a guy at the dojo that is thinking about going. Since I missed nationals this year in Detroit (waaaaa I didn’t have the $ to compete), I am secretly considering going.

In addition…it’s possible I might be testing for my bodan (temporary blackbelt) in September!!! *gasp

I had a meeting on Tuesday. It was an important meeting for me because it was my first where I had implemented most of the content. After my meeting I went to lunch and bought my running shoes and when I returned these were sitting on my desk.

sorry pic is from my phone so it's blurry

I was a little embarrassed, I’m not a huge fan of getting flowers at work, I hate all the questions that go along with them. “What did he do?” was kind of the most popular LOL.  The last time C sent me flowers was when we broke up for awhile back in 2004.

just a close-up, they are pretty

In the 5 years we’ve been together C has neglected to hear me when I say I hate roses. (ok hate is a strong word but I dislike them, especially red) WAIT!!!! Just read on before you start swearing at me and calling me ungrateful.  C and I haven’t been on the same page lately, and part of that (not all), is because he doesn’t really hear me when I talk to him.

What I found out later was that he waited until he knew I was in a meeting and knew that someone else would be answering my phone.  He called and talked to the other Admin to confirm the address.  So this shows that yes, even if he doesn’t listen to me, he had thought this out.  And that is what makes these flowers special.

I have to say that I cringe to think how much he paid for them.  But it really was the thought that counted.

when…

I hear and feel the constant thudding

Three Days Grace echos in my ears

mosquitoes attack me alive

I got new trail running shoes today. Well I got my first pair. They are Northface. I’m not sure I feel about them. I feel like I need to ask my cousin N and his girlfriend MK some questions. They both run often and even marathons. They are pretty hard core. Me, I just do it for peace of mind. Anyhow, my arches hurt afterwards, I’m not sure if it’s just cuz I’m not used to jogging or if it’s the shoes. Suggestions?

Oh and PS, they were on sale and the guy gave me an extra 25% off…WOOOO

this is pretty awesome:
