She's Got Issues....

I love this song.  Maybe because it reflects so well some people I know.  Anyway, on to my issues.  I spent some quality me time last night.  Got my nails done, which normally isn't something I indulge in because I have nice fingernails and well, fake ones are high maintenance and I'm not that kind of girl.  Apparently I'm lacking something in my diet right now that's making them break left & right, so I'll rock these until I get bored or run out of maintenance money for them.  They're a little too long though.  It's hard to mess with my iPhone.  I suppose I'll get used to them.

I was out looking for a better dress last night.  My mistake?  Going to Macy's.  They're having a huge sale.  I got 4 winter coats and 2 sweaters and a hoodie for $85.  Clearly a rational person would say "What the hell do you need with 4 winter coats?"  I am not rational.  I said "Look!  These are on sale for less than $20 each!  I must have one in every color!!"  I mean, they're like hundred dollar Roxy coats for $17.00!  Yeah, I've got issues.  You don't have to tell me.  This is why I'm broke all the time.  When I'm feeling even the slightest bit down and go shopping, I spend, spend, spend.  All that was on top of the dress, pants and 5 shirts I bought at Kohls yesterday.

Today I'm having buyer's remorse.  I'm taking back the dress and the pants to Kohls.  They were expensive and I don't like the way they fit.  Plus, Brandon told me I looked preggo in the dress.  I hate having 13 year old boys critiquing my outfits.  Gavin tells me how it is, but he was passed out on the couch from all the shoveling they did around the neighborhood yesterday.  They raked in close to $100, so they were happy about that.

Umm, let's see, what else is going on?  Oh yeah I got Kyle his Vday gift last night.  It's not very romantic (but then again, neither am I), but I got him a camera.  I think it's an Olympus (?)  I don't know, the sales guy was hot, so I really wasn't paying attention to the actual camera, other than making sure it wasn't hot pink.  Something about 10 mega-pixels or maybe it was 10X zoom.  I don't know.  I got the camera, extra battery, 4gb flash card and a case for $189.99.  Quite the bargain if I do say so myself.  It's nicer than mine, so of course I'm jealous.  I'm not buying another digital camera for myself until I can get one of those $900 Canons though, so whatever.

He was planning on buying himself one when he got back to take on vacation and to take pictures of cool things he sometimes sees on the boat, so I just saved him some trouble :)  Besides, he doesn't have much time when he gets home to be doing all that anyway.  Under normal circumstances, he'd be getting home around 6am on Thursday morning and we leave at 5:00 that night.  We might get a little lucky though.  He just messaged me and said that the Illinois river is freezing up completely, so they'll have to be heading south, then back over this way.  Anything to get him a little closer to home.

Normally, he gets off the boat up around Chicago, gets in a van, which takes him to Paducah (8 hours), where his truck sits, then he has to drive back to Columbus from there (another 7 hour drive).  It sucks considering I can be to Chicago and back in 8 hours, but that's how the company does things and he gets paid for sitting in the van and gas for the big red truck to drive to and from Paducah.  Whatever.  All I know is, we better not get more of this shitty ass snow next week and it get in the way of him getting home.  We don't have any time to be messing around before our flight leaves.

Anyway, that's about all I have to report today.  Not a whole lot going on around here.  Now it's time to do my rotation through your blogs :) Have a good day!
