I know, I know, I know. I haven't written in forever. well, thats because precious little has been going on in my life. I know, everyone says that and no one believes it, but its really true. I've had a few job interviews, nothing has yet come of them. I've had car problems, though everyone has car problems and seem loathe to relive them by listening to my dumb story. I basically spend my time between my parents house where i watch tv, walk the dog, and eat my weight in cereal; and my apartment where i watch netflix movies, play nintendo, and eat my roommates food.

my going out has been severely limited since i no longer have a source of personal income. long gone are the days of going out to drink my paycheck, oh no. Now my nightlife is filled with dollar menu micky-ds and half price sangria nights. Though I will say that both are quite a bargain. $5 for two sizeable sangrias and then another $5 for a TON of food at mcdonalds. plus whatever you spent to get to the bar and you can really have a fun night with friends for less than $15! thats less than a dvd. although i dont think i can remember the last time i bought a dvd at full price...

oh, this is news i guess. I bought my Easter dress today! As long as I can remember (and my mother will undoubtably say that I am misremembering) I have had two special outfits a year. One for Christmas Eve, and one for Easter. Obviously this year the belt is a little tighter, but really, i've never been one to splurge on clothes. Since my body is often the wrong shape (is it bad that thats what i think, as opposed to THE CLOTHES are the wrong shape?) it really seems a waste to spend oodles of money on things that reinforce my fatness. Maybe thats what began the shoe crazyness. Theres a quote in a much maligned movie that I nevertheless enjoy called "In Her Shoes".

"When I feel bad I like to treat myself. Clothes never look any good... food just makes me fatter... shoes always fit."

and so they do. no new shoes to go with the Easter dress however. i have stemmed the tide (at least for the moment). I enjoy the shoes I have, and there have been none that i tried on that have been lurking in my mind. thats usually how it happens. if they're not an immediate purchase, love at first sight, then I walk away and think about them. If they come up in my mind later in the week for no reason, or if i start looking at outfits that would look great with them, then i have to go back and buy them. Some people say that you should wait twenty minutes before buying something you like. If at the end of twenty minutes you still like it, then buy it. But I say wait a week. if its meant to be, the universe will bring the shoes to you. either on sale or the last pair in the store is in your size, etc. Its weird, I believe in shoe fate, but not really in love fate... Maybe thats why I have luck with shoes and no luck in love. Whoa.... insight.

On that self discovering note, more will eventually come, stay tuned.
