(no subject)

Operation Veg out has been working.
I didn't get home til almost 9, after stopping for food, twice.
But let me get to things chronologically.

- Went to work. Got there much later than I wanted. Worked pretty damn hard, coding and recoding a bunch of stuff. Entered 8 months of bank activity.

_ head home on nearly empty tank. I wanted to stop at Target for the cheap stuff I'd seen there the prior week. But I had to find gas before I stopped the car. I end up at a Cumbys, and a Gulf. Which was nice and cheap. I fill the tank, using my credit card (which was the plan) then proceeded to clean the windshields. The following episode then occurs:

*Guy in truck come out of store and gets into truck. He leans out.*
"Cleaning your windows?"
*the tone of voice is incredulity. Kinda like the same way you'd say "You cut your fingers off on Purpose?"*
*I look up*
"what?"
*the tone of voice is incredulity. Kinda like the same way you'd say "You cut your fingers off on Purpose? And you're proud OF IT?"*
"YOU are cl;eaning your windows?"
*This is more "flirty* than anything else. I'm assuming the next statement would either be about how I'm too fat and ugly to get a MAN to do it, or how he wants to clean them with his tongue, one can never tell.*
*my brows crease*
"No, I'm dancing naked on the roof, of course!"
*Go back to cleaning the windows*
*mumble mumble mumble*
"be Nice."
*ME - NOW not happy*
"EXCUSE ME?"
*Actual shit eating grin*
"I said 'Be Nice.'"
*me, NOw Pissed*
"Why, you're a fucking moron, why should I be? Go have another, but wait til you get home first!"
*asshat drives away, continuing to talk, and say "Be nice."*

Now, SOMEONE tell me what the FUCK that was about? I'm assuming one of two things, and BOTH assume this guy is shitfaced.

- He either decided to pick on the fat chick (which is NEVER a good idea, it doesn't bother me when people say that = it's obvious, and if THAT'S the insult you're using you're weak. And stupid) and was going to comment on my lack of male companion to pump gas and clean windows
OR
- He was actually trying to flirt with me. Which means this tactic has succeeded in the past.

Um - DO I REALLY NEED A MAN TO TAKE CAR OF MY OWN CAR? I can clean my own windows, I can pump my own gas. Hell I can check fluids, and with a jack and probably change my own oil at this point, AND HAVE YES changed my own and other's tires, and fixed small breaky items.

I'm disgusted by this, in many ways:
- by this guy feeling the need to speak to me in ANY capacity. He's a stranger at a CUMBY'S WHY is it he needed to talk to me at ALL, ESPECIALLY in that tone!
- by the WOMEN who allow this behavior to either get to them or FUCKING WORK ON THEM.
- By men in general for certain attitudes
- byt the human race, which could REALLY use a good nuclear winter to clean off some of the rabble. (Remember, I'm a fat chick - that means _I_ have energy stores you stick figures don't. I could probably survive for WEEKS longer, with a decent water supply.)

I'm losing my touch tho - I'm the woman NOONE bothers. It's something I project. And now the crazies are getting up the moxie to poke at me. They're lucky I'm not armed, and it's not legal just to kill people who annoy me.

*deep breath*

- Then on to Target, where I drop a tea cup *pouts* and finally buy myself those cute cups I liked, along with some chopsticks, a little journal, a frame perfect for a certain Cover of a Soon to be Romance Novel picture (which I need to put on a compact flash card to get a print of) and a bunch of food. I spent about $25 on my debit card, but should be able to eat at home for most of the weekend into the week. (Breafasty, and lunchy type stuffs.)

- I stopped at S&S on the way home for things I wanted - I was having a craving for hot dogs and beans the way Nani used ot make, and did. I got the "maple" baked beans tho, which was NOT what I wanted. But I have that as leftovers and other things, so I'm good.

- Came home, cooked, heated up the apartment *grins* and settled in to watch TV.

My InuYasha DVDs were waiting for me - I think I ordered them exactly one week ago, so I'm thrilled. I'm going to watch the movie tonight, hopefully soon. I'm going to make a pot of tea and drink with my new cups. YAY! So Excited!

More tomorrow, I'm sure, I think I want away from the computer, seeing as it's almost 1Am and I haven't wound down yet.

Oh, and by the way

Since witchchild is doing it so am I.
this whole Free Ipod thing works - she has a friend who got one this way.
So, I'm asking for anyone who wants to, to have a looky look at the site.

If you'd like to sign up, and help me get a free Ipod, you can click my link:
http://www.freeiPods.com/default.aspx?referer=9277900

Basically, it shows you some ads, and some marketing stuff.
You have to complete one offer, for a service or something you might use anyway.
For example, if I hadn't just gotten the Pod Maker, there's a coffee bargain, 4 8 ounce bags, and an insulated mug for $8. I could handle that.

This site - RateIPod offers - was also useful. It went over the stuff about each of the offers, with ratings from people who have used it.

For witchchild I signed up with InFone. It Was Free. It's a service that works as a phone concierge. It's $0.89 for the first 15 minutes, then 5 cents a minute after that. Since I pay $1.25 for directory assistance on my cell, this is actually a REALLY good deal! AND my first five calls are free. I got instant credit for S, and myself, and there shouldn't be anything I can't cancel - they only charge you if you make more than 5 calls.

They also have Blockbuster and NetFlicks and the crappy Columbia House, but you never know, maybe you can try something and get a free Ipod!

But, before you do anything, if you choose to click through my link, let me know first. I want to refer more people, but I also want to help you all get referrals. So after I get the five I need, I might be giving you another name to refer through, so that if you help me, I help you back!

Anyway, just have a look - I hate these things, but this works! I wouldn't be pushing it if I didn't like what I saw.

If not - ignore this whole post *grins*

I love rainy Saturdays

Much better than Sunny ones.
Last night was great, nice and cool in my room, listening to rain hit everything. It's the kind of night you need a warm lover to just sit and listen with, better in a tent. Yes, I actually like camping in the rain. That, however REQUIRES a warm lover, since DAMN it gets cold! And I could live without the mud. *grins* never satisfied, that's me. Well, I was OK without a warm lover, it was just a thought.

Especially this morning when it was more downright cold than nice and cool in my room. I haven't done much today yet. Watched some Teen Titans, made some Podfee. I finally realized what I was doing wrong website wise and looked at where the Podfee should be available. It's available at a lot of fru fru stores, but it's SUPPOSED to be at Target and WalMart and I can assure you they are NOT. AND I bought some other Pods last night, and they SO DON"T work in my podmaker. The only good thing that came about last night, is finding out KA got me a bargain. This is a great coffee maker. The one that actually GOT me on the kick, was WAY more expensive, AND so are it's replacement pods! Like 8 BUCKS! For 16 pods! Fuck that!

I also have found a neat new snack/meal substitute. NutriGrain Yogurt Bars, I got Vanilla. Noe the thing about them is that they're sweet, but not cloying. I also only want ONE, my appetite is killed (well for them, I kinda want some chicken and rice right now) These are going to be a great midafternoon snack, right around when I get a craving for something sweet.

Today is not going to be anything spectacular. I'm waiting to see if midsizebird calls, and I have to admit seeing her in NYC next weekend has it's temptations. I'll need to see if I can make that work. As well as seeing the Cruxshadows with her. I'm hoping she has some time today, but I'm Ok if she doesn't. I think I'm going to make a list of things I'd like to accomplish today:

- work on client, since I'm not going there. Maybe if I can get mostly caught up I can just file my heart out on Monday.
- review other client
- finish my InuYasha movie (what IS it about Japanimation and the need to FUCK with the character sketches in full length features! They did it in Pokemon, and YuGiOh, and they've SO Chibi-ized my boy Sesshomaru! he looks.....SOFT! What's up with THAT!)
- maybe watch me some more INuYasha on DVD, to have on in the background while I work
- Laundry
- make my bed
- put up the white sheet for picture taking background.
- do some piccies and postings.
- finish going through the computer box, set up the other items I need, like an extra power strip, and my card reader, and my label printer
- pick out some pictures for printing. I'm getting on a picture frame kick.

I think I'm going to shoot down to Home Goods and look around. I still want a candy bowl, and I have an idea for some lamps, rather shades, to match my room. I just need to find the right small lamps and shades. AND I want a different laundry hamper, something I can hang on my door.

I'd really like to find my curtains, and take down my closet doors, and put up black curtains instead. BUT I'm barred from doing that til I have some of the crap gotten rid of.

Wheee - time to get at it!

BTW - go to my user information and click on the link to Help Me Get a Free Ipod! See one of my previous posts, for details.

Hmmm kay

Well I wanted to go shopping.
I felt like I wanted something new.
Then the package from zelda_eckleberg arrived.
SHOES! LOTS AND LOTS OF SHOES!

(Buy the way A - I did get your message I just haven't had the time or the correct attitude to talk to anyone.)

Lots of them even FIT, and they're all heels like I wanted for work.
I think the key to me buying shoes is to go UP a size. A pair of deep brown Enzo's in a size 9 fit OK. Not great, but OK. My feet are kinda fat, I'm hoping if I can get some of my weight issues under control these shoes will fit better.

Anyway, I need to try them all on again, some with different stockings, and decide which ones to work with, and which ones KA gets first crack at. Most of em are staying with me, and the ones I decide to sell, A gets a cut of.

Wheeeee! And I checked my account balances and I'm VERY VERY staying home. I'm constantly hungry tho, maybe I'll clean off my George Forman and grill me some dogs.

Crap

Good thing - I think I've just made my bed for the first time in - ever.
Bad thing - makes me realize that a Twin Comforter, which I've had since I started college is NOT proper for a queen size bed.
(Edit - yes I know it's not. But in it's previous state, it worked fine, since it was just a bed in a messy room, and just a blankie I used. Now it's out of place. )

Fuck.

I saw this really tasty comforter in either Target or WalMart. It was black with Japanese style markings in grey on it. It's a whole set, bed skirt, comforter, pillow shams for $40. Not so expensive (which makes me think Target) but still out of my price range for right now. Poop.

OK Ok Ok, I realize My comforter isn't going to do. It will do until next month, when I can pick out a comforter set. I also want to paint ANYTHING not black, to, well, black. Everything.

Yeah anyway. Back to work.
