How did you celebrate your last birthday?
My parents took me to Applebee’s with my boyfriend and cousin and I had a very big, fatty, chocolate dessert that was sooooo good but I felt guilty about it later. I don’t regret it either way! Plus I got to spend time with my family, which is a rare occasion.
What’s the last thing you bought yourself, just for fun?
Three pairs of toe socks on ebay. I’m starting up my collection again! Wearing them freaks Nick out, I love that fact so I wear them all the time.
What would the child you once were think of the adult you have become?
They would be disapointed that I havn’t finished college yet. But I would think I was soooooo cool. (Ok, not really!)
When I go shopping for clothes or fashion handbags, pink is always the color I look for first. I’m not sure how I started to claim that as my favorite color. I guess it’s mainly because I always feel the need to express my girly, high maintenance side. Then when I sneak peeks at my mom’s celebrity magazines and Paris Hilton is always wearing something pink as well.
I surfed onto the Bolanzo Handbags site and looked at what they had and found this very, extremely cute pink handbag that I am so tempted to buy:
They have very luxurious handbags and accessories in so many different styles, colors, and fashions; they look just like the style of purses celebrities would carry around. I’m pretty sure you’d find something you’d like as well. Their handbags are known mainly in the international market, but they became so popular that we are lucky enough to be having them branch out into the U.S. market. Get ready to look like a total celebrity with these handbags.
It’s so cold down here in our room and I’ve misplaced all my socks. I look like a little half naked snow girl bundled up in an oversized hooded sweatshirt that used to belong to my boyfriend, shorts and bare feet.
My winter wardrobe seems to not fit since last season so I’ve been scraping around for a wardrobe to wear to work everyday. My main qualm has been trying to find matching socks in the house that is, when I do find the one’s that have seemed to have survived the sock monster in the dryer. *confused* The other day I was in a rush and actually walked out of the house with mismatched socks. I don’t think the boyfriend noticed, but I felt like a major bum.
I had originally started searching on auction sites to find some cute, trendy winter socks, and then I started shopping on Hue. I had been considering adding their leggings to my wardrobe; I have never tried to wear leggings before but they do look like a fashionable, and most importantly, warm faze I could get accustomed to.
So I’m making a mental wish list for when I can afford to buy some…uuuumm, let’s see…I want the dark blue polar bear socks, the black cotton leggings (to wear under my jeans on the really, really cold days at work,) the fishnet knee high socks, (ok so these won’t really keep my warm, but they are very, very cute!) Time to go shopping again! Goodbye income tax return!
I’m sure people with sales jobs dread this day, and I really want to know…
Why do we celebrate Presidents Day with store sales?
President’s Day was actually made a federal holiday to be celebrated on the third Monday of February in honor of George Washington’s birthday which is actually on February 22 and Lincoln’s birthday which is on February 12. Doesn’t it sound as if we as a government are using historic days as an excuse to have the day off from work? Today is the 18th, and it is neither Washington nor Lincoln’s actually birthdays, so what are we REALLY celebrating? A day off, when government employees probably don’t do much work to begin with? How many people that actually have the day off going to be celebrating this holiday? I guess you could count shopping for all those big sales a way of celebration! In that case, I am off to the mall to do my civic duties as an American citizen and celebrate.
Happy President’s Day!

Have any of you parents with children in school are always involved with school fundraisers?
I know I was! I have two out of four cousins that are currently either in school now or were a part of a school that did fundraising. I always helped them out by buying something, there’s always going to be a school out there that is going to needs to raise money for something….field trip, sports gear, uniforms, etc.
Every single fundraiser that I have participated in to help my cousins, and even children of friend’s have always been the same thing, candy and gift wrap. If I see any more candy or gift wrap I’m going to go loopy. There’s only so much candy and gift wrap people can buy. Would you spend $30 on a box of chocolates normally? I know I wouldn’t, but I did anyways just to support the fundraiser.
I net-surfed upon Schoolpop today and it seemed like such a grand idea to submit to my alma mater schools and even the schools that I purchase fundraiser items from to do this type of non-traditional fundraising. People can basically shop online at participating store’s they would normally shop at and a percentage goes to the organization. We’re talking about shopping online at some brand name stores, to name a few Wal-Mart & Amazon.
I personally could conduct this fundraiser to help pay for student loans and raise funds for myself, which is completely alluring if I had the time.
