    Got up at some ungodly hour this a.m.--resetting my alarm must have
    reset my clock too. Walked the dog, still had like 1/2 hour before I
    had to meet teh bus. Sat on the couch & read _American Gods_ for a
    while, then went to catch the bus. It passed me just as I was about
    1/2 a block+ from the stop. Ah well. So I didn't get in to work until
    7:27. Not that bad, really. Will have to reset my clock and alarm so
    that doesn't happen again.

    Was dreaming about going back to school at a place that looked kind
    of Tulane-ish. Alex was in my dream, too. Maybe he was going to
    school, too?

    Anyhoo...that's been my exciting day so far. feh!

      Wondered how long it would take before SIL took all the credit for
      making her horse's costume and lost all gratitude to me for my
      help :)

      Join me up to the Garbers Guild.

      I'm not terribly good at it, all of my own garb so far I've bought,
      so the only garb I have to my own credit at this moment are the tunic
      I made for my husband and the native costume I made for my horse
      (pics in Terwin's photo album Critters at Drandmir).

      I would like to be as accomplished as Liz and to have a wardrobe like
      hers. At the same time, I would also be happy to share what little I
      do know with anyone that would find it helpful.

      I can be taught, and I am also very resourceful :-). While we're on
      the subject, there are several nice chemises at Ross that are far
      more reasonably priced than the usual Renny specific fare. I found
      them to be suitable for wear either alone or under a doublet or a
      bodice. I'm also a big fan of ebay for both raw supplies and
      readymade garb.

      what's your inner flower?

      ===================================

      So, happy Monday & stuff. My sister's gonna be in town this week.
      That should be great fun. I'm happy about that.

      ===================================

      Pet peeve alert! woop! woop! Ok...I know times are tough & people are
      doing what they can to help make ends meet. And I am all about
      supporting friends & acquaintainces in their efforts. But, people,
      when the only time you invite me to your home is to try & sell me
      kitchen gadgets or makeup, I'm gonna pick up on it pretty quick and
      get resentful. I'm gonna start thinking the only reason you want to
      see me is to get my money. I am likely to start feeling hurt and
      used. And deliberately hurting and using your friends makes the Baby
      Jesus cry. Just remember my motto when it comes to this sort of
      thing: Champagne For Real Friends, Real Pain for Sham Friends. So
      when treating people shabbily comes back to bite you in the ass,
      don't say I didn't warn ya.

      ==============================


      OK, fess up, who was looking at www.freaks.net/eek at 4 this a.m.?
      And then followed the link to this diary? I want to know who you are
      and why you were up so late/early!

      ------------------------------------------------------------------

      I am retaliating against Sonya's latest "Come to my house so I can
      make money off you" by inviting SIL to her little Mary K party.
      Of course, that is just as much torture for Sonya as it is for me.
      Well...maybe not. I've kind of gotten used to it. Friday was almost
      tolerable, except, that lookin back on it, I didn't get a sentence
      out whole the entire time. Started to talk about being fat and
      unhappy at AndrewS wedding, started to talk about ...whatever, and
      got interrupted by boring minutiae, stories I'd heard before, bla
      bla.

      So I'll be very entertained if SIL takes me up on my offer to bring
      her to the MK party :) Champagne for real friends, real pain for sham
      friends. fuck 'em.

      I might have also written about X's using me in today's d'land
      entry, but I'm done with that. Thanksgiving isn't happening and vegas
      for Jessica's bday isn't looking good either. I am not spending $1200
      on hotel & air alone, then another $300 on top of that to show that
      bratty child and her using mother a good time. A) I don't have that
      kind of money,and B) they're not worth it. Sorry about breaking my
      promise to J, and I feel bad, but not bad enough to put myself a
      grand or 2 into debt over it. I suppose I could start saving right
      after I get back from Cozumel (haha, like I'm not going to abuse
      plastic on that trip & have to work on paying it to zero).
       
 

752 Budget-next 3 months:

    The sad thing is that I don't have alot of wiggle room BUT the happy
    thing is that I can pay bills, eat, and have a roof over my head
    without being in debt at all. And as for the cruise in Oct, $700 is
    alot of $ to spend in 4 days, so maybe I can stay away from the
    plastic. Aside from rooms in New Orleans, which will be easier to
    reserve & pay for with plastic, of course. On the subject of
    cruising: things are not looking good in Jen-land. She quit her
    horrible job and is not finding a replacement as quickly as she
    thought she would. Now is not a good time to ask for more definite
    travel plans so I can go ahead and make hotel res. But we are closing
    on 2 months 'til the trip, and not having them is making me nervous.
    Of course I can cruise without Jen. :( and hang in New Orleans
    without Jen. But what's the fun in that? And doubtless there will be
    heinous fines or something if I change the ticket now to reflect a
    new passenger. I suppose I should double check on that. Why would it
    matter to the cruise line? there's 2 beds paid for, why should they
    care who occupies them?

    Just remembered something she said on Friday that just appalled me
    with its ignorance: talking about going to the Oriental markets
    (these are actually ASIAN markets) to find Saris. heehee.

    She amuses me so much with her big words and real-world ignorance.
