You hate the fact that you bought the dream when they sold you one...

Of all the songs I heard yesterday, it's the one I didn't care much for that I woke up with in my head. I don't even know the lyrics and kept making them up in my head, actually switching it back to the original line. LOL. Had to look it up and listen to video several times while writing this post. Does it count? I actually liked Drakey drake when he first came out, but now all his radio songs sound just alike. But what is my own? It has made him a superstar abi with millions of fans and money.

Anyway, yay the weekend! I went on a mini shopping spree on Thursday and Friday. I don't know what my issue is sometimes, I am on a BUDGET. Obviously, it means nothing to me. LOL. Tired of being in deprivation mode jo. But I digress.

I went to Walmart looking to buy my succulents but of course, the Wal-mart near my house let me down as it always does. That place is just big for nothing jo. I saw some at the one next to my job, perfect size, looked great. perfect price. I didn't buy it at the time for whatever reason my reasonable self came up with.

But I went to dollar tree to pick up just a dust pan o, and maybe the tulips for my project, see here. Anyway, I walked out 13$ lighter, damn tax. I found these cute crackled flower pots that am going to use for my herb garden. (Clap for me, I picked white instead of blue). Some zen garden thingies that i thought the tray would be perfect for my succulent idea.  So, I had to have my succulents that night to see how they would look, and since the Wal-Mart at work was already behind me, I figured the walmart next to home would do fine since they all carry the same things. My mind was like, remember the half dead live christmas tree you bought from there, that place does not take care of their plants o. But no, I had to have those succulents today as in NOW.  And they fulfilled all my expectations by not having my stuff. Not even my indoor outdoor rug that i needed for my diy moroccan patio rug. But I found this super cute alarm clock for 3$. 

In adding the photos to the post, I somehow lost a paragraph. I was going on about finally receiving my silverware from CB2 (my reward for being gari and sugar free for 4 weeks), and my bedside carafe which i got cos the silverware was $10 bucks cheaper than I thought it would be. Sigh. It was such a nice paragraph, am going to miss it.

Anyway, my second, now third, alarm clock is going crazy out there. I am going to the gym on time today for once (maybe not), and then on to Las Cruces Farmer's market to see what I can see. I hope it's not a big fat disappointment. The reviews are somehow, some praising the place, some saying it's not a farmer's market at all.


In case you care, the actually song i woke up with was: it's my birthday and i'll cry if i want to, i can lie if i want to, you know. only me.

New Week

I feel so accomplished this morning. My weekend was productive for once. I painted my chair and it is finally in my bedroom. The thing is, I underestimated the amount of paint I would need and went crazy with dilution. My first clue should have been that the original pattern was visible under the paint. I filed it down a bit with sandpaper which took off the color. Then, because I ran out of paint, I wasn't able to paint the seat and instead covered it with an old ankara skirt that I was planning to turn into pillows. I was very disappointed with the results, but it's now growing on me. I might leave the ankara like that or change it for another ankara I have. Lastly, I tried gluing the broken leg in place but alas, it didn't work. I guess I had better just buy a new leg for the chair. My next project is to figure out how to stick mirrors into an old painting. I also need to pick up my hall table from the office where it has been waiting for me all last week. I really wi...

Writing Life.

So, it is day 16 of this NaNoWriMo thing, and I am happy to report that I am still here. Writing away. Last night was a good night. I came to the page with great reluctance, confused and sleepy and distracted but once I got into the groove, I got into the groove. I even surprised myself. At the end of the night was at 26058, and I added 3000+ words. Are those words any good? I don't know. I will deal with that at the edit stage. I found this cool writing tool called Scrivener . Actually, I read about it on one of these NaNo pep talk letters. At first, I was like why would I need a tool for writing a novel, like I couldn't get it. But then I actually read about the features and I got it. What got me was the fact all my scattered word files  could be stored in one place. So I have been writing this novel separated into years instead of chapters, with the major characters telling each year from their view. I would put each year in their own file and then after I edited, woul...

And the point is...

Whoa, life got busy there. Crazy week. Good for business but not good for my me time. Sometimes I wish I could breathe think dream medicine, then I wouldn't resent it for taking all my time from me. It always seems to come first, takes over, and pushes everyone and everything else out. Sigh. But all things must come to an end, and just like that *snaps fingers*, its Friday already and here I am waiting for my flight to Vegas. Wish I were going for pleasure, I have a work conference to attend. Nevertheless, am excited a bit. I have never ever ever been in Vegas, flown over Vegas, driven through Vegas or even looked at Vegas. I was supposed to go with a co-worker but due to drama and shenanigans, am going by myself. I am kind of happy about that, cos I was kind of dreading going with this person. But, at the same time, this means I really have to get out of my shy mode and make an effort to visit a place or two on Sunday. I was thinking of maybe thrifting but am not sure. Speak...
