So breakoutbras is having this really awesome swimsuit sale…for those of you who need bathing suits to fit your bust, this is perfect…some prices are super amazing (like an original $68 top for only $24-$30)!!! I think that even though I don’t really have the money this week to go shopping for a much needed bathing suit (slash bikini top), I’ll probably head over there to see what they have in my size. For those of you who don’t live in the Upstate, the website’s www.breakoutbras.com. 

So I may NOT be actually moving to a different city after all….but I still plan on moving out really, really soon!!! Like hopefully before the new job starts!

I have a dilemma, move to Columbia and work in an unsafe mall or move out of my mom’s place and live in the upstate (which is something I dread)? Decisions, decisions…

I just had an awesome dinner of pretzels and a turkey sandwich-with water…I guess I really am unintentionally losing weight by eating healthy…or maybe I’m just too lazy to actually get off my butt and cook something.

I’m officially/unofficially moving to Columbia come February!!!!! I just learned that my start date will be February 13th.

I have to announce my news: I just got a amazing Freya bra for $24.99 at Dillard’s!!! It’s a 36G which is a little big in the band but nothing I can’t easily deal with. It’s a Freya Ingrid bra and it’s super cute! I knew I loved Dillard’s for a reason (they’re the only place that has bras in my size on clearance and the only place I prefer to get my everyday bras).

Tomorrow one of my best friends is getting married and despite the issues, I couldn’t be happier for her. See, she had a bad breakup but didn’t give up on love, she didn’t automatically assume every guy would lie and cheat on her. She instead believe in the best in everyone (even the girl her ex cheated on her with), instead she opened her heart once again and knew that every guy, every situation, was different and because of that I can truly say that despite everything she’d had to go through to get to this point, she is awesome. 

I only say this because out of my three best friends, only she had the courage to really stand up for what she wanted and come out on the other side better for it. My friends have experienced love in very immature ways and now that i have one whose truly experienced love (in a real way, not the “I just want to get into your pants” way) I can honestly say those others are kidding themselves. Love doesn’t come without some sacrifices and unless you’re ready and willing to make some, you may need to rethink yourself and your decisions.

Sometimes I wish my family would be grateful for what they have. They tend to measure love by money (i.e. if I give, I must truly care for them). What they don’t understand is that I usually spend the most on those who could care less or who aren’t expecting anything. It really pisses me off that they think I should spend money on Christmas presents for them when everything they all want is over $40 each!!! I can get my nephew a shirt for less than $10, less than $7 on a good sell day, my niece the same way but my mama and sister’s aren’t that easily pleased. If they wanted me to crochet or bake them something, I’d do it and spend the money on them in a heartbeat but handmade gifts just aren’t as important to them. My friends appreciate them more and as such, they get them (and essentially any money I spend to buy the supplies). Currently, I spent a money on buying supplies to make Apple Butter (something i love and my friends love too) and crochet supplies (something my friends encourage me in). My family thinks I”m stupid for doing it when I can buy the same thing I’m making. They don’t understand how important it is for me to not only accomplish these things, but how much I need to learn how to bake/cook and knit/crochet/sew from scratch. Learning these things can not only help my medical problems but this is a potential money making venture.

I’m so excited to make apple butter tomorrow. I got all my ingredients today and I’m kinda following my own recipe with the help of others but no matter what I use, it’s definitely going to turn out yummy! (And make for the perfect end of semester present for my college friends!)

I’m seriously considering my next project to be scones…maybe apple scones to go with my apple butter, idk yet but I can’t wait! (I LOVE scones!!)

Anyone else feel that Breaking Dawn was awkward or was it just me?

by paying my first student loan payment

So I said I’d start doing book reviews in order to get through the multitude of books I have stored on my Kindle but I have to actually finally start reading those books first. Not sure when I’ll get the time since for some reason it’s almost impossible for me to crochet and read a book at the same time (since I’m a fast reader, I need to turn pages faster than I can finish a row crocheting). Hopefully I can get to it though. It’s a project I’m really looking forward to, especially since I need to get over this writer’s block and start editing my piece for grad school. 

I’m moving in February and can’t wait (actually I really wish I wouldn’t have waited but oh well, what can I do about it now) !!!
