Updates on my totally interesting life

Finally did something with my hair.  Not sure if I mentioned that I dyed it black, but on my day off I walked to Holiday Hair and got layers put in.  She also talked me into a conditioning treatment (it was on sale) and I bought a detangler, too.  Even though I got it trimmed (and cut some shorter layers in it) everyone at work thinks it looks longer.

I went to Walmart yesterday and bought stuff I didn't need.  Yay.  Is there some kind of counseling for that?  Anyway, I could've spent a lot more, but I kept putting things back.  I put back some under eye cream (which I probably should've kept), nail polish, and various eye shadows (I'm scared to start using eye shadow!  I don't know how to apply it!).

I tried to get rid of my BlackBerry.  I called Verizon to see if they would let me upgrade early (tried to use the "my birthday is coming up" line, but they weren't having it).  I found a couple cool phones on ebay and bid on them and at the very last second was outbid.  So sad.  Guess I'm stuck with my BB til Sept. or so.  The chick at Verizon was like, "Oh, don't you like your BB?" and I said, "Try finding apps for a BB.  1 out of every 100 apps made is for BB.  The rest are for iphone or Android."  Stupid people with their stupid fancy, touch-screen phones.  My BB doesn't even have a touch screen, people!

Cars, make up, house work

I finally took the Kia in for an oil change.  It was only five months past due.  I half-expected the guys at Walmart to laugh me out of the garage.  Monday must've been oil-change day for Altoona because there was an hour and half to two hour wait.  I said it was fine; I had to eat and do my grocery shopping anyway.

I stopped by electronics to check out Xboxes.  I'm thinking of getting Chris a new one for his birthday.  One that's wireless, so we don't have to drape that ugly blue cord all over the living room any more.  Then I walked up to McDonald's and got some food.  That took a while.  They claimed it was for my chicken nuggets, but I think they fried my fries three times while I waited; they were hard as wooden rods.

Anyway, after I ate, I started grocery shopping.  Halfway through the car/bathroom/paint section, I realized my ticket for the oil change had "walked" out of my back pocket.  (That's short for, "My ass is so big, as I walked, it pushed the paper out of my pocket.")  So I retraced my steps and found it in the cat food aisle.  Back to shopping.  I shopped on auto-pilot, mainly because, I hate grocery shopping.

I found a line that wasn't too bad and checked out.  I felt like a weirdo walking back through Walmart with my cart full of bagged groceries, but I certainly wasn't going to go outside and walk around the building to get to the garage!  My car wasn't done yet; it was about another half hour wait back there, as my eggs and milk got warm.  I opened the Hard Candy makeup set I picked up and looked at it.

I love the make up aisles.  I looked at the Hard Candy stuff for a looong time, and finally decided on a pack of new blush that came with highlighter, primer, and lip gloss sample-sized tubes.  I tried the primer today.  It was weird.  I'm not sure it made any kind of difference on my face or with my makeup, but I really like the new blush.  I don't have to use as much as my old one to get the color to show up and it's a little sparkly.

At Walmart, I also got plastic for the windows.  Tomorrow, since I'm off work, I think I'm going to plastic-up all the windows and start going through the mess of clothes Chris and I have.  Nothing is put away; each of us has a dresser that is pretty much empty.  I'm getting sick of living out of laundry baskets.  Now, I've been meaning to do this for a while now and I always get too lazy.  I'm really going to try tomorrow.

Oh, working on a new story.  I've pretty much finished the book I started for NaNoWriMo and, even "finished" it doesn't make the 50k mark.  Blah.  I'll let it sit for a while and go back to it some other time.
