i'm not sure why, but all of a sudden i feel like about to have some sort of anxiety attack. i'm jittery, irritable (no, it's not pms), emotional and my pulse is through the roof (which probably means my blood pressure is too). i don't get it. nothing out of the ordinary has happened today (except i'm sick... but when am i not?). anyway, i'm just going to sit here and write random thoughts and hopefully i'll calm the fuck down. bare with me people...it could be a bumpy ride...
i started cleaning out the garage yesterday. i've decided that i have so much shit that surely someone will buy some of it. i'm planning on having a garage sale this coming weekend. there's just one thing: i fucking hate garage sales. don't get me wrong, i love the money one can make from having one, and i love finding a good deal at one, but lawsie mercy the amount of time and energy it takes to have one! it's fucking exhausting! y'all...i have so. much. shit. i've already filled the bed of Neighbor's truck with stuff that just needed to be thrown away. so far i've got 3 keep boxes and 5 sell boxes. yes, i need to go through the keep boxes again, but hey, this is a really good start for me. of course, i haven't touched the inside of the house yet and the garage still has approximately 3903309457 more boxes that need to be sorted through. i blame my parents. mommy dearest is a shopaholic and daddy is a total pack rat. i was doomed at birth. i'll get there. eventually. i fully planned on working on the garage again today, but i just couldn't drag myself out of bed...
why? because it feels like i've got a porcupine stuck in my throat and my ears feel like they're about to explode. i can't breathe, especially when i lay down. i'm taking antibiotics, but i think i'm gonna have to break down and go to the doc. this stuff sucks. srsly. i can't afford to go to the doc! i'm already praying they don't cut my phone (or electricity) off before i get some more money. will this nightmare EVER end people!? speaking of waiting on money, has anyone ever done a mail in rebate with sprint? my GAWD they take for-fucking-ever! i sent that shit in like 2 days after i got my piece of shit new phone and it could STILL be another 3 weeks before I get it. argh!
so, yeah, in my last post i mentioned i went on a date. it was nothing exciting. just a night talking and laughing with an old flame that calls every once in a while. wow, such an exciting life i lead. oh, and i never did find out what happened at whataburger. i'm still very curious.
on a more positive note, i voted today! i went to hastings to try and sell some books i had lying around the house (yeah they don't buy back text books anymore. fuck.) and they had an early voting booth set up. i decided to vote so the trip wasn't a complete waste. i was going to be all sentimental and vote on nov 4, but yeah, i'm over it.
speaking of nov 4. i'm so ready for that day to be here and GONE. i'm sick sick sick of politics being the topic on EVERYTHING. i'm sick of NOT voicing my opinion because people get so pissed off if you don't share the same political views as them. I mean, seriously people, what is the point of getting all defensive and rude when someone doesn't share the same political views as you? that's why this country is what it is: because we have the freedom to choose. i came this close to voting for Barr or whatever his name is simply because i'm sick of all the obama/mccain drama bullshit. honestly, my choice has changed from day to day. i voted for the person i thought best fit today. tomorrow, i may change my mind, though i don't think i will, and even if i do, it won't matter. my vote has been cast. maybe i should have just written my name in on the ballot. oooh, good idea. everyone vote for BIDDY!
so, aside from making ungodly amounts of pumpkin bread, i've also been sewing during my bout of unemployment. Diana, Goddess of Toes, hired me to make a valance for one of the bedrooms in her house. i like to call it the world's longest fucking valance. i'm proud to say, it is finished and almost completely straight and even. the thing was beginning to give me angina. someone, whom shall remain nameless, hired me to make a purse. a really cute purse. i came up with the design, she said she loved it, and i made it. and then she decided she didn't want it. um. fuck. now, while i am incredibly tempted to keep it for myself (because yeah, i love it that much), the last thing i need is another purse. the purse closet runneth over as it is. so, i'm going to post pics of it here. if you want it, i'm asking $45 for it, shipping and all. believe me when i say, that barely covers the cost of making the damn thing. it's a 16inch, genuine green suede hobo with a bling bling fleur de lis on the front. the inside is a super cute floral print with 2 pockets (one being just right for a cell). really, i love this purse and if it doesn't sell, i will keep it, but i would really like to sell it. so, if you, or anyone you know is interested in purchasing it, just email be at cushscootergal831(at)yahoo(dot)com and put green suede purse in the subject line (because i get tons o crap emails). i'm sorry the pictures are so crappy. i took them with my phone because my real camera is at the pawn shop right now (don't worry, i'll get it back soon).
the pictures really don't do it justice. the green is much greener in real life, the interior more vibrant. the B on the pocket is something i put in every purse i make (except i think i forgot to on juliet's), not the initial of the jerk that was supposed to buy it. also? if you are wanting something sewn, i'm available for hire. please forgive me if i ask for payment up front.

don't think of November 4th as election day anymore!! Just think of it as MY BIRTHDAY!!!!! Cuz it is!!!!
Yeah, they HAVE quit making those! I saw that at K. Roger today. What is up with that? Mother's & Archway -OOB!
We don't have "early" voting here. You either send in a form to vote by mail w/ a doctors excuse..or travel plans OR you go on Nov 4th.
You feeling any better?
J and I need to go out and find an early voting location. We're going to be gone on Nov 4th. I'm right there with you too, I'm tired of all the childish political banter (I was sick of it about 1 month ago). All of them can just shut it! We get it already. Everyone has dirt, they all lie at some point, no one is ever going to be completely satisfied. That's life and especially politics, deal with it.
*sigh* I'm so bummed about Mother's frosted animal cookies. They were my favorites (even though I hadn't gotten any in a long time). I loved how they would change the colors for Christmas too. :(
Cute purse. You're very talented! I agree, you need to charge at least 30% to 50% up front. I do that with my graphic design as well. Yep I've had issues with that in the past. Not fun.
Feel better soon! Get yourself something warm to drink. Cocoa, tea, coffee, spiced cider...
((hugs))
ahh, the panic attack and I are long-time acquaintances. Better living thru chemistry, hun.
