shop til you drop is literal.

I'm officially, entirely and completely done with working at dunkin.
I went in to tell the manager today. She didn't even care. Didn't want to know why. Nothing. Just nodded and half smiled.
Then the shopping...
:D
Kristina and I have defined shop until you drop. I came pretty close to the dropping bit in the last store.
It was awesome.
I'm also officially the most difficult person to shop for jeans for.
Three different stores. American Eagle, Hollister, and...oh goodness...I think PacSun.
One pair in PacSun was passable. But they were $36, and they weren't the best fit ever, I have cheaper pairs that I like more.
*goodness*
But the best purchase of the day was by far at Hollister. I found this hoody that seriously feels softer than fleece...but it's not, it's normal hoody material. I love it to no end! If only that store weren't so expensive and awful to be in, my whole wardrobe (shirts at least, not jeans) would be from there.
I'm looking forward to sleep at this point. I'm not freaked out about anything tomorrow, nothing is going on, no faking illness to miss work and then having to talk to a mother about quitting, then having to go in and quit...I have nothing to be up for, nowhere to be, and I couldn't be more excited. Clear schedule... :D
The other happy point was finding a new favorite outfit...I wore this brown sweater I found on clearance at Kohl's that has just the right amount of bulk to it with a light pink cami underneath and my new Glo jeans...my curve jeans, as I like to think of them (they really make it look like I've got something there...). I love finding really cute stuff that fits really well but doesn't make me look so tiny and frail.
I've previously stated my pondering of my parent's recent expences, with the lack of belt tightening and all...yeah I don't look at it that way anymore. Not at ALL.
My aunt and uncle, who are a couple of years older than my parents, just ordered a new computer.
Well...just recieved, they didn't want anyone to find out, as they'd know all of our reactions.
The one they have is less than a year older than the one *we* have, which just turned three. My cousin's husband has been tweaking it to perfection for the past year.
*Ours* has survived my last two and a half years of high school, plus everything my brother's done school wise and he's in the sixth grade, *and* all of everyone's general goofing around, and it's nowhere near needing replacement. There's has been through less, they only goof off on it-all three of their kids are completely done with school and moved out an niether of them do any work on it.
And the other stuff they've done...they used up a portion of their retirement fund, a *good* portion, to redo the kitchen. And are planning on changing the flooring. And knocking out a wall. But they're not calling a carpenter, they're doing that on their own...and it *could* be a weight bearing wall and everything...*shakes head*
They're putting sooooooo much into fixing up their house when they've been openly stating their desire to move for I don't even know how long. And it's not going to increase the selling value by much due to where they live.
It just irks me when people are that careless.
And that's how close my family is...when I know a lot of detail regarding my aunt and uncle's finances... :P
The mistake of one person within this gene pool affects everyone else. No matter how large the mistake.
Anyhoo...
Oh...excitement, MASSIVE excitement!!
Kristina's really looking at Wartburg.
And really really really wants to visit.
So we're trying to work it out where she'd come back with me when this break is over and stay for a night or two, depending.
Go to some classes. Maybe stay in my dorm. And most definetly come to band practice!!! (she plays the flute :D) And meet people, of course.
I'm really excited for the visiting :D
It will be awesome.
And...yeah...I think that's about all I have to say.
