I am going to get this entry in before I get really busy. I am going to be working on a project this week and therefore be away from my computer most of the time.
First of all, it�s my 30th birthday today. I thought I might be depressed about it but I�m not. I actually feel like my horrible twenties are behind me and I can start fresh. Anyone who knows me knows how much my twenties sucked. I mean, I spent a lot of it being depressed, but that�s between us. I will no longer force myself to be happy for anyone else, but at the same time, I�m not going to let life get me down. I�m tired of getting kicked by it and it�s time to start fighting back. It�s my life and it�s up to me to react to it in a strong and ladylike fashion.
This weekend, I did not go to my Grandma�s. I feel bad about that. But I so badly needed a break that I didn�t go. Of course, my guilt itself will propel me to her house next weekend, so I�ll be able to make it up to her.
I did a lot of shopping. Yes, I have hit the spending wall. I went virtually nuts with my paycheck last week and bought myself ALL of the things I�ve wanted to buy for the last 3 years. It�s time to pamper myself. The only thing I�m missing is the black leopard purse with marabou feathers. Yes, it is a knockoff, but who needs to know that? Anyway, I special ordered it from a jewelry and gift shop and it will be in this week.
I went to Marshall�s on Sunday and some lady had hidden a gift box of Ralph Lauren�s Glamorous in with the clearance items. I found it. It�s my 2nd favorite fragrance, and the box of perfume, body wash and lotion was only $25.00! I�m sure it was the only one in the store. I would�ve paid about $65.00 at the mall, so I was thrilled.
We went to the Halloween store again on Sunday. I found a hovering ghost who is voice and sound activated and he raises and lowers himself.
We also bought pumpkins at the plant nursery down on Lemay Ferry.
This weekend, I watched Dax. He�s a great kid and I love him. Something tells me though that his mom will get a great full time job and I won�t be babysitting him anymore. I will miss Jackie having someone to play with on the weekends, but I will also treasure not getting out of my pajama�s on a rainy Saturday.
Saturday, we went shopping at Toy�s R Us for Jacob�s birthday gift. Jacob is Salsalita�s boy.
The kids loved that. I looked at a Yu-Gi-Oh dueling station but they are forty friggin dollars! I�m not going to be cheap, but geez! Yu-Gi-Oh stuff is so expensive. In the end, they picked this guy called Major Powers and he came with a huge kit that folds up so he can take it with him.
Jackie is excited about Jacob�s birthday party. She really misses him and she�s driving me nuts about the party.
Jacob and Lisa, we miss you. Maybe you can come over soon???
Yesterday, since I was off, I wanted to get my hair cut. I went to my favorite place, Salon Paradiso, and they were closed. Harlots!
Then I went to Dillard�s salon, where they had one stylist and one manager working. They couldn�t see me until 5. Well, I was not about to bring Jackie into Dillard�s salon. I would�ve been asking for it.
Then, I remembered that there was a salon named Glamourama over by Walgreen�s and Old Navy, so I went there. If they weren�t open, I would�ve tried Scandal�s Day spa, but I didn�t know if they were open yesterday.
I did get my hair cut. It�s nothing special but the dead ends are gone. I told her I was going for Sarah Jessica Parker�s wild curls, but she didn�t know who she was. Oh, well. Maybe I should�ve tried Scandals, but my stylist at Glamourama was so nice. Her name was Jody, and she was a biker. She did mention that she could do as many colors as I wanted for highlights and it would only cost $60.00. I think I am going to go back for that.
After I got my hair done, I went to get my nails done at Famous Nails. My guy, Hai, wasn�t there, so Lana did my nails. She is such a beautiful little woman. I am so jealous.
Then I met up with Rene� at his apartment. For my birthday he gave me a rose from Swavorski Crystal and two boxes of chocolates.
After I left Rene�s, I went to Waldenbooks to get Jackie a couple of joke books, since I forgot to turn in her Scholastic Book order.
My day of beauty was over when I picked up Jackie from school. Good thing, because the weather quickly turned wet and cold, and I was happier inside anyway.
