God forbid you can ever find what you need, aye?
So, today was my lovely first day off work in like, 9 days. I woke up late...watched Eagle Eye with mum and aunt P, (great movie btw) and then mum and I went off to the store to check out the new goods. :D The larimar was gorgeous as always, but mostly combined with pink shell (I loathe pink anything) or just not something I was interested in. I did grab a cute pair of small teardrop post earring that have three silver thread dangles under the stone on each. I also found a killer tribal skull ring for M, something noticeable but small enough to wear to work. Not like the 1oz killer I got him some years back. ^_^ There were some really outstanding pieces, as usual...nothing too compelling for me tho. I have a box full of stuff waiting to be paid for. :P
We left there and stopped at the food store for some stuff for dinner...and I nabbed a few Jersey peaches, some Snyders pretzel pieces (one bag each of honey mustard and ranch) and the Passionfruit/Tangerine flavor of V8 V-Fusions. Mom made beef stew for dinner, if anyone was curious. hehe
After that I needed to make a stop at Joann's for some muslin and other oddities. Of course, they didn't have the 200 count bleached muslin that I wanted in anything less than 90" wide...so I guessed and bought a yard. It worked, thankfully. The pattern pieces I needed it for all fit, so I did that earlier. I'm impatient, so I started hand sewing it. :P I also nabbed some drapery weights, last package of course, and could not find any round reed or white twill tape.
I can't imagine why no one stocks basket weaving supplies here. :P
I may have to order the reed online. Michael's had no twill tape either....I may check the other one and AC Moore tomorrow. I also have to make a deposit at the bank, mail some packages and maybe drop some off some old film at Rite Aid.
So my fine plans for working on part of my costume for halloween fell thru, thanks to Joann's lack of stock AND being in the middle of inventory. I'll do what I can with the bits I have....but I am NOT pleased about having to order the reed and then wait for the damned mail. I don't have a lot of time to fuck around.
Speaking of that...going to have to order some specialty stuff for Patsy...but am at the mercy, largely, of his budget. Gotta crunch some more numbers.
And the best news of the day? Some stupid arse has been wandering around in the street around my house, in shorts and no shirt, like he's some kind of badass. Mom tells me he just got out of jail for theft...my first thought was, "When are we getting a security system?" He doesn't impress me, we had teens here when I was a kid that were just like him, and did fuck all but talk. He seems to be friends with the dumbass across the street and is staying with the fucks next door to him. Thieves and drug dealers people....thieves and drug dealers. Mom and dad moved here when this development was brand new in the 70s....and mom finally said today, "This used to be the nicest street..."
All I can think is.....if we move....HOW CAN I TAKE OUR HOUSE WITH US?????
I mean really...it's not a city..not even close. The only thing I can think of is that none of them have anything better to do around here (its pretty well a void, I know I've said it) and none of them is smart enough to get the hell out and find something productive to do. Lazy fucks. Speaking of leaving...I'm ready to get another job and GET A DAMNED HOME OF MY OWN. *sigh*
Anyhoodle....methinks I will abandon the needle for the night and pretend that guy isn't across the street, and try to sleep. Now....where did I put my poniard???
