It's good to have friends with connections......
Yesterday my little Meagan friend took us to her optometry office where she works and got us about $700 worth of prescription glasses and sunglasses for only $90!!!!!! The minute they come in I'll show them off.
The downside is that I spent way too much money yesterday. The smelly girly store was having a sale I couldn't refuse either. Then we all had to see War of the Worlds, which was fun to watch, but not as good as I had hoped. Spielberg endings don't always fit, you know? Now it's ramen week here. Sigh.....
My son had his first visit to a strip club yesterday as well. I had to pick up my bonus and there was no-one on stage so the manager said, "bring him in! It's so illegal, but who cares?!" So we walked in the doorway and said hello to the waitress, I showed him my cash register and we looked at the stage lights for a minute. He was very impressed that I got to use the register, and he loved the club atmosphere with all the lights and music. When we were doing Nightmare Factory in dance clubs, he was thrilled. He always wanted to watch the dance floor, and he'd boogie his little diapered butt to whatever awful club-pop was playing. So cute!!
I tried to pull some tarot cards for myself last night, but as usual alot of it made no sense. I just can't read myself, and that sucks because I can't find a decent reader in my area. I won't go to anyone I wasn't referred to, and everyone I know goes to me! So I guess that's a good and a bad thing, right? Ahhh, well.
Oh this pissed me off...my mom calls me last night and says that she thinks the reason I haven't found an apartment is because of my hair! I told her that's not it, for the following reasons. 1. I have only talked to apartment managers on the phone. 2. They just want my fucking money.
She has also told me in the past that the reason I am only able to work in "those places" is because of the way I look and dress. The fact that I did not have colored hair or a piercing at that time apparently made no difference. And she has been telling the story of how I embarrased her at my wedding rehearsal every time I see her for the last year!!! The story is as follows: I was 19 and I only weighed 96 lbs, I was wearing my 20 hole docs with a ripped black babydoll dress with bleach stains strategically placed around the skirt. A masterpiece, really. We were going clubbing afterward so I had one metric ton of eyeliner on as well. We are all standing there with the wedding consultant for like 15 minutes when she says, "Well, when the bride gets here we will start right away." Everybody giggles and I raise my hand and say that I'm the bride. My mom turns bright red and starts making excuses for me. "I know she's tiny" she says, "but I swear she's 19! She looks funny but we love her!" Totally unneccesary!! I was so pissed after that I made a point to swear as much as possible in the church and I didn't even say goodbye when we left. I love my mom, she's amazing, but sometimes she makes me livid!! Why do I still give a shit when I'm 28 years old? I don't know....
In other news, I love Spiderworks and the Toy Dolls! I can't wait to get in my car and listen to them both!

Chips are like french fries but our chips are fatter and in the shop are fried in the oil that the fish was fried in so they pick up the fishy taste and with salt and vinegar they are the business. We now have a lot of combined fish&chip/Chinese takeaway places so a great meal is diced chicken and pineapple in sweet & sour sauce, curry sauce and chips
Primark is a ladies clothing shop - cheap as hell decent stuff and there are more clothes on the floor than on the rails. A bit like Tk Maxx if you have them??
Upmarket is posher so yes more fancy
Dougal was a character in a children's TV show imporrted from France called The Magic Roundabout. Because it was shown just before the adult news in the early evening it meant that adults picked up on it and started a big move towards more challenging animations. Dougal was a dog with attitude and a penchant for sugarcubes. Here he is with Florence and Bryan the Snail:
The evening corset well that's just my poor english - I'll put a picture in the next entry - it went so badly last night that I got all wound up about it which was stoopid. I'd been looking forward to it all day and then it just went completely tits-up. I'll have another go tonight and I'll go do remedial English in the meantime
