Sorry...

I'm a bad, bad blogger. Off living my own life, pfft. What have I been doing? Let's see...

Friday - hung out with the awesome Jeanette, got my needed bit of girly-ness by drinking what she dubbed the "Pretty, Pretty Princess Vodka" because it was in a bottle with a giant jewel on it. So fun!

Saturday - very busy day of waitressing, got done just in time to see my friends' band. There are five members, and I've known them all for years. It's just a little side hobby, but it was fun.

Sunday - football, football, football, crochet and eating!

During the week, lots of working, lots of watching Mile High DVDs with my #1 gay boyfriend (the boy's roommate). What is Mile High? A terrible BBC show about really slutty and really dumb flight attendants. We drink wine, make witty commentary, and all of a sudden it's five hours later.

Here's some outfits for youz!
  Tuesday...

Giant cardigan - thrifted
T-shirt - Target
Skirt - TJ Maxx (American Eagle)
Tights - um, like 1998??
Boots - DSW clearance (Diba)

Wednesday... Why am I dressed like some sort of a snow fairy? I don't know. So it snowed like half an inch and felt it necessary to dress like a snow fairy. It happens.

Poncho - thrifted
Big sack-like sweater dress (with pockets!) - thrifted (Outlander)
Socks - Fake Target
Shoes - Steve Madden

Thursday...here's hoping I don't wipe out in the snow in these shoes...

Hair ribbon - vintage red rope trim
Oxford shirt - Mark, Fore, & Strike (I know, seriously?!?!? I inherited it from my aunt)
Skirt - by the pound Goodwill Outlet
Socks - Target
Shoes - Nicole (inherited from a friend after she spent one painful evening in them at a wedding - score!)

This last picture is me today. All these kids and teachers at work kept looking at me funny and being like "Something's different." And I had to tell them all, yeah, this is the first time I've worn my hair down to work this year. Weird! I just got used to wearing it up when I worked with special needs kids and now I do it all the time. Plus for waitressing and bartending it has to be up. Plus it's just big and gets in my face. I need to wear it down more, regardless.

Scarf - TJ Maxx
Sweater - thrifted
Skirt - TJ Maxx (American Eagle)
Tights - Target?
Boots - my aunt in Italy in the '80s

I may be a little absent this weekend too, although isn't everyone? I have to waitress Saturday night and then Sunday morning for the... Santa brunch! It's hundreds of people, many small children running around all hopped up on the dessert buffet crashing into my legs while I waitress. It sucks but it's so much money! Laterz, must go running and then go see the boy!

For the virtual pals

For those of you who I don't know in "real life" and won't be getting one of these in the mail from me...

HAPPY HOLIDAYS! (and sorry for the shoddy quality - need to get the file for the picture from JJ, in the mean time, here is a photo of a photo. I'm ghetto. I know.) In case you can't tell, I'm the frazzled and a little drunk Mother's Day in the middle!

The 300

Ok, so less than a week ago, I threw in a counter on my blog. Seriously?!? More than 300 people read this in less than a week? I mean, I know there are blogs that get 10,000 hits per DAY, but I seriously thought about 7 people read this! Who are you? How did you get here? I'm majorly curious. Anyway, my Thanksgiving was shitty, and what I was thankful for was that the rest of my days are better than that one. I may share the reasons why it was so shitty, but not right now. Oh, the fresh pain!

Anyway, I sewed my poofy skirt on Wednesday and here I am wearing it Cruella Deville style! And check out the bad ass side zips. They're so big and heavy. Anyway, it turned out okay, I may throw a more poofy tulle skirt on under it when I actually wear it to puff it up more.

Ooh, and the best part of Thanksgiving was that I crocheted this cowl in like 3 hours. Then I wore it. Cause it matched! I just added a big wood button to it a few minutes ago so now it's even better! I may make a few of these and throw them up on my etsy. And if they don't sell, then, oh well! I'll just have to wear them!

I finally got around to entering Chictopia.com's Back to Basic's contest. It ends in like 2 days so there's no way I'll win, but whatevs. This is as basic as I get.

Besides, I still haven't spent my gift certificate for Modcloth.com for winning the Daddy Likey Halloween Costume Chronicles contest. I know, it's like free clothes, but I'm just waiting for something I LOVE and NEED rather than just picking up a few things that I just like. Anyway, I need to go photograph some stuff for my etsy and screenprint some shirts... but I don't want to. I want to be lazy. We'll see... and let me know who you are, readers!
