Flex Friday! Today is the day I wait for every other week. It is the day I can take my time in the mornings and practially do whatever I want...until about 1:30 when people start to come home from work and school. This particular Friday I had big plans. I told myself I was going to clean a little, run errands and then go see a movie all alone...Then I woke up.
Really, there is nothing I really want to see at the movies and so all I am left with is cleaning and running errands. I figure that after I am done writing this I will clean up for about a half hour. Then I will take a shower and get dressed, and then put my makeup on and smile at how cute I am in the mirror. I sometimes think my mirror has something against me. It always shows me this reflection that though I could improve upon is pretty cute. Then I get to work and look in the mirror and say what the hell. I look like a freak who is either too flushed out and needs more makeup or my hair is whacked out or my shirt makes me look like I am pregnant with twins. Does that ever happen to you?
Once I leave the house I am off to the post ofice. I need stamps to send out bills that I should have mailed yesterday. To counter that I am sending them late I always back date the checks hoping that the companies I am sending them to will have sympathy and think they just got lost in the mail...good luck to me. The truth is I could have sent them a few days ago if HE would have remembered to pick up my stamps. Yes, I know I could have gotten them from the grocery store but I am tired of being so boring with generic stamps. My friend Frankie always has cute stamps which her husband she absolutely adores picks up for her. They actually go to the post office to get stamps. I thought I could send my husband to the post office this week to pick up some stamps for me. Once I got home that night and asked him if he got them and he said he had forgotten but then offered to pick some up at a grocery store. That was the whole damn point of sending him to the post office...I did not want boring stamps!!! Needless to say that later that night we ended up fighting that El Cantante love and the stamp situation was thrown in his face, don't men know that women have files in their head of all the things they do wrong and when we need to use it we know exactly where in our brain that file is located to throw it in their face.
After I pick up stamps, I am planning to go to Deseret Industries. It is this little thrift store or if I want to sound trendy I will say it is a vintage shop. In any case it is wonderful. I can find purses or cute t-shirts to wear with cute heels and some jeans or clothes for work. Let's face it and I'm not gonna lie...this beauty is on a budget and I am a bargain shopper, ask anyone. I shop clearance racks, discount stores, vintage shops and yard sales as much as I can. I think if I was a millionaire I would still check my bank account everyday and shop all the places I know would help me stretch my money.
Then off to the bank to deposit a check for AVON. Yes, I sell avon but please do not tell anyone in upper management at work, they will get mad, smack my hand and tell me it's a no-no. Is it such a no-no that they will supplement my income for the few dollars I do make? Somehow I don't think so.
My last stop will probably be McDonalds for a McDouble and a Sweet Tea which I am addicted to both and if you are not you should be. It is the kind of tea that you would sit out in the sun all day for the right flavoring and then pour tons of sugar to get the sweet taste, I absolutely love it and at just $1 that's a bargain!
Perhaps I will go Home Depot as well so I can complete this home project I absolutely must do but have been dragging my heels on. I love my house but owning a home is scary. You can't just call the landlord to fix whatever needs to be fixed and I don't have landlord money so home projects have to be well thought out of how I can do things on a budget-go me. Since we have moved here I have painted my house inside and out in every room, took down two hideously kinky mirrors that were up in the livingroom, pulled out shaggy pink carpet and refinished the hardwood floors in there. I love that we can make these decisions without consulting anyone but still I freak out all the time because I do not have excess money in the bank to fix things.
Okay so anyways, I may end the evening with a few glasses of Sutter Home wine and sit out in the yard. I have turned into the person who loves wine, I think it really happened when my adorable sister took me to Wilson Creek Winery in Temecula. It was beautiful there and I discovered I love Almond Champagne-remember that people, my birthday is coming!!!
Ok, I had hoped to be out of the house by now so I better end this blog. Between trying to get this posted and fighting with a company on the phone and talking to Frankie and Vanessa this morning I am behind schedule...but then again if we stayed on schedule crazy would not exist, and you know you how much I love crazy...especially on my Fridays off!
