yeah i know i go on about him loads but i really am so proud and happy to be married to him! even when he leaves wet towels on the bathroom floor!!That is okay! It isn't like your busy or anything. Hehehehe... That must be cool to have his credits on the box! You have every reason in the world to be proud of him!
lol Lou! Sorry I have not written, but after a few quiet days I have yet another frenzy of tarot selling going on. It seems to just get easier and easier to let go of these. I thought I would be so heartbroken, but in the end, when I have a handful of favourites and a slew of drawer space, who cares? I love letting them go to new homes and not having this weight on me (or the house for that matter)!! Not to mention watching your neighbour's house go up in flames and just about everything in it gone due to fire, smoke or water damage, it puts life into perspective. I am finding myself cutting back on certain things. Not makeup, because that expires anyhow and you use it. But magazine, decks, other stuff will also go. It feels good!
i'm so pleased people are buying from you at the moment! i hope it continues! and i think that it is best to just keep the bare essentials and your favourites - i never hang on to items because they just take up too much room - i like the minimalist look! lol!lol Lou!

When I started to collect I remember having 30 decks that I happily kept in one little storage box and thought my collection was wonderful. Then I stumbled on to how many people had on the forum and it was as bad as MU or worse. You wanted every deck, every piece of art, every theme. But that fire at my neighbours was even a larger wakeup call as well as wanting to pare down anyhow. All I could think of was how quickly it would all go up in flames and be gone in a few minutes. Now I know I will have my dream of having this just the way I want it by sometime this summer and long before the holiday season so I won't have to worry about it anymore!!
Last night we went to the mall and I did some tiny hauls, some OPI nail polish and those new UD 24/7 glide on pencils. And a bit of jewelry. Then we zoomed home to watch Smallville, I missed part of it and was sorry they leave out the real wedding and was confused most of the time to the storyline (is his father really alive?? ) but absolutely LOVED the last 1/2 hour and the ending. Yes, he is in tights, cape flapping behind him and saving the world. I so wish Christopher Reeve had been here to see this last episode. 10 years. Wow. I hope it gets syndicated soon so I can watch the beginning again. So, Tess is dead, Does the new Lex get her heart?? Ewww. And he is president? Yikes.... "Miss Lane" lol love it! Excellent ending to the series!
More rain, storms, fog. Maybe this is London?? Or the misty moors? We are missing all the sunshine of May and our longest days. I swear, it feels like fall and is getting on everyone's nerves not to be having a summer. And I bought some bright orange coloured nailpolish to be extra funky!

yeah that was one thing that i was annoyed about actually - that you never see the wedding. and i don't get why they had to wait until 7 years later to finally get married either! but it was all so amazing - i loved seeing him in the costume finally! and no his father is dead - i think it was just his ghost that he was seeing and memories and yes i was shocked they killed Tess - i grew to like her in the end.
and i hope it gets warmer soon - if only so you can use your funky orange nail polish! hee hee!

Okay, that is what I thought. That his father was a ghost, memories, a spirit, whatever. I mean, that is a tradition...that his father dies. And one minute he is talking to him and the next he turns around and his father is gone, so in spite of the fact that my husband kept telling me his father must have been saved in another dimension, I wasn't buying it! lol Thanks for clearing it up. My heart just leapt when they started overlapping the theme of Smallville and the music from the Superman music and then full out on the Superman music at the end. That was incredibly cool and moving! Ah, another era gone. Now I want to see it from the beginning!
I actually bought 2 Opi oranges. Hot and Spicy, which would look very cute this summer, and A Good Mandarin is Hard to Find! I will wear that too, but especially plan on wearing that in October and on Halloween! It is the perfect orange!! The other one, Aphrodites Pink Nightie is a perfect year round mauve pink!
I am having an argument with myself, over here, trying to decide which mug to go with to keep my 24/7 Glide On liners in. lol

well technically your hubby is correct because his dad is alive in a different dimention (the one where lionel adopted clark rather than the kent's) but i feel that in this episode it was purely his fathers spiritOkay, that is what I thought.

and enjoy your new polishes! they sound like great colours!
Well, that part we knew. I saw the episode where Clark meets his father in the other dimension, but hubby thought he was transported back alive into this dimension and all was well and I kept saying, um, noooooo! Hehehe...
I will totally take pictures when I have these oranges on. They will be wild!

oh yes! i would love to see your orange nails!
i'm at work and really don't want to be! i'm tired, grumpy and craving junk food that i must resist! for breakfast i have had some strawberries so it's started off well.
I know that feeling! I seem to be in a state of constant PMS these days! Not a fun thing! Some cramps got me last night, now they are quiet, but they will be back! But I had several days of getting out and getting things done, so that was good and my husband needs to cut our lawn (we have over an acre, so that takes 4 hours with the driver alone) and will be well occupied as I laze about! Yesterday I sold off about 150.00 worth of decks and oracles and woke this morning to find out I sold 1 deck for 225.00. Yay! Not bad for a weekend, which is usually the dullest of selling times for me. And I will be celebrating with strawberries on my cereal, too! Now I want to crawl back into bed! lol
oh wow!! that is so awesome that you sold that 225 deck! great going! what is next on your to get list though? bags, make up, polish or jewelery?! hee hee! and i really do hope you feel back to normal soon
lol Well, I always have a wish list! A little of everything I am afraid! I just moved all my decks out of the last drawer of that bureau, but now I have about 50 decks that need to fit into the lingerie chest (has 6 full to the brim drawers of decks) so I am rather flabbergasted at how much I still have to sell off. That will mean I will probably sell well over $10,000.00 worth of decks and still be keeping quite a lot. It doesn't help that I am tired and crampy and looking at this incredible amount of decks I have accumulated. I just feel overwhelmed right now. Eventually I will rejoice over the money I will make, but not now! lol
Don't worry. When you are 48 years old I am sure you will have something to sell. Things accumulate and grow like mushrooms in the night. I think my decks might be breeding. A rather scary thought! I've been like this all my life, though. I was not sentimental about my toys and before college I sold off my Breyer horse collection, my china figurine collection, my dolls, my trolls (yeah, now I want some back, lol) and made a fortune in yard sales which paid for my college books for 4 semesters. I never keep anything I don't use and am sending my husband off to a used bookstore this morning with a few books to sell off. I won't get much as they are mostly paperbacks, but off they go anyhow. I kind of freak out my husband at how I can scurry up enough things for a yard sale in just a few minutes when he didn't even know we had anything to get rid of. Hehehe...

Well my morning so far is a bit of an anxious one.... I have an interview in just over an hour
I will be very happy once it's over... my day will be considerably better then!!

Yesterday was a weird day for me. I put on my makeup, my jewelry, tossed on a new shirt and flowing skirt (it was super hot and humid) and went out to the local nursery gift shop to browse about. It is one of my favourite stores. While there I noticed people noticing me. Looking at my makeup, looking at my outfit, my 3 bracelets, until I felt like a clown or a gypsy. They were not approving looks, to say the least. I live in an area where there is a lot of high society (I really don't belong here) and people are very preppy. If you are going to wear jewelry, wear real diamonds, not fashion jewelry. Dress conservatively and in the norm, not flowing skirts and bangle bracelets. Don't wear smokey eyes (no one would dare wear falsies or they would be labeled a hooker in a moment), etc. It made me very self-conscious and sad. That norm, that boring, boring norm, is what I followed for 25 years. I am sick of it. If you see someone today and then again in 5 years they will be wearing the same makeup, the same way, with the exact same hair style. But their faces will be older. And so it goes. I wanted to scream at them and say "layering bracelets is in and three is nothing!" Or "haven't you ever seen grey eyeshadow???" I know I looked fine, but being summed up by both workers and customers there (yes, most older than me) made me come home in tears. Some places I get compliments but sadly right around here I am constantly being sized up. Back in the 90's I would toss on a flowing Laura Ashley skirt with a cute white lace petticoat, a sweater, some super comfy Victorian styled boots and hair back in a bow and take walks around the neighbourhood a few times a day to stay in shape. I got labeled as the "weird lady". Apparently I have not outgrown it. My mother (drives me crazy, anyhow) refers to me as her gypsy.
4 bangles today, pink eyeshadow with dark mascara, and rosy lips. Deal with it world. This is me and I won't succumb to boring soccer mom looks or lifestyles. Sorry for the rant, but it was a sad day and I am still upset by it. Luckily my MAC order is coming and maybe I can find solace in making up my first blush palettes.

Debi i am so bloody angry for you right now! how dare they look at you in such a way!! this makes me so upset and annoyed. i know for a fact you look bloody amazing so sod them! seriously you need to go back and wear even more make up and bangles and rub their noses in it!!!Yesterday was a weird day for me.

i hope the interview went very well for you! please let us know how it went!!
The interview went very well thank you. I won't hear the outcome for at least a few days yet but I can be safe in the knowledge that all went to plan. Enjoying chilling out now!!
ElvenEyes, it's so disappointing that people behave that way over makeup and jewelery! I can understand how it will have made you feel but as you said, you know you'll look great - it's just their 'boring-ness' (new word, lol!) and pettimindedness that is making them behave like that. Have fun making up your blush palettes!

lol And bring tarot cards with me. Maybe drive up in a caravan! Thank you for making me genuinely laugh for the first time in about 24 hours. I really was upset. They have been carrying a lot of fashion jewelry too and I wanted to say "hey, if you want this look, go over to that room...they sell it here!" I asked my husband's honest opinion of how I looked yesterday and today and he said "cute". We talked about it and he said just forget it. Easy for him, right? I looked at a lot of pictures from their recent events and I am right. Most wear no makeup at all or mascara with an occasional dab of lipstick. The only woman who looked remotely interesting was one of the workers, well into her 60's, with foundation, blush, lipstick, e/s, eyeliner, mascara and huge hoop earrings. She looked pretty, polished and not like she just rolled out of bed or walked out of a gym. So, they will have to deal with my MU and my bangles and if they stare I can either stare back at them and look them up and down and sneer or say...
Hey you!
(I've always wanted to use this smiley...now I finally can!)
Onward I trudge brightly through the land of no shadows, thy mascara and lipliner is with me....
