blame it on the weatherman.

I have such an urge to shop. It's running through me like soup and there's nothing I can do about it. I guess that's why I write, instead, to you, journal. Since my march to Massachusetts, my bank statement has read -$1.40. And for those avid readers out there, I'll have you know that THAT is, in fact, all of the money that I have in my entire life. I am negative money. This just does not permit me so many things that I desire.

I.E. exotic vacations, halloween costumes, halloween pumpkins, spooky halloween journeys, halloween movies, a new wardrobe, additional room decor, additional plush bedding, aaaaaaaaaaaaand the money for my Bike and Build application, WHICH my mother surprisingly brought up in conversation today after hearing about it from my sister. I guess what was actually surprising was that she was so mega supportive of it.

I wonder how my sister explained it to her, because I feel like had I been the one to break the news of my interest in such an ambitious venture, that she would have exploded with apprehension. I think, though, that by telling my sister and not her, she probably caught on to my apprehension in telling her and then just for the sake of being contradictory, she had to be supportive/she also had the time to absorb and actually understand the idea before immediately going all berserk and contradictory on my ass but in the wrong way.

It frustrates me, sometimes, that both my mom and my sister have this impulsive reaction to oppose anything grand and awesome that I want to do before hearing me out. Like, when I initially told my sister about Bike and Build, she laughed at me and was all like, "YEAH, OKAY". And I'm all like, bitch give me five because I'm about to destroy you. And once I went on about how insanely kick-ass it would be for me and the world, she was all about it. The thing of it is though, is that I think the pair of them are just like that because they never put themselves out there and got to experience awesome things for themselves, and as a result, they naturally want to hate on the cool things that I'm doing in my life. How many times before you learn though? I mean it's like, time and time again, I prove you wrong. You should know by now that I don't do silly things or make silly mistakes or jump into anything without thinking it through.

Well, this post turn quite the unexpected turn. I hope I don't sound ungrateful, or selfish, or unloving. I really do appreciate my girls and they pretty much always have my back... eventually. Anyway, I want to shop. And I leave you with this hit: www.youtube.com/watch
