Month: December 2006

  • Numbers that have lately caused my eyes to bug out just a bit:

    $177.00 (my grocery bill for a cart full of groceries for this Open House)
    $146.00 (the price for two bras and two pair of panties at a crazy overpriced but well-fitting shop in Indiana)
    34DD (the size of the mother-fuckin’ knockers that required the above mentioned bras)
    $600 (the price for three year gym membership at 24Hour Fitness – admittedly this is less than $16/month but damnation if upfront costs don’t hurt the budget)
    $3k (how much we owe for our washer, dryer and other assorted sundry items from Lowe’s that we needed to get a house up and running)
    $800 (approximate price of the water softner we need to make our water less evil to clean up after)
    $??????? (how much money we’re going to spend in the future on the king sized bed I dream of every night when the cat tries to kick me out of our queen)

    I did buy two new dresses for the impending Christmas party:
    * one red and strapless with an empire waist accented by a red satin ribbon
    * the other is black and strapless up top with ruching that helps hide chub presence and a skirt that is, oddly enough, satin-y with polka dots in creme and tan and is a handkerchief type hem….

    For I am Kelly
    and I like lists today!

    You should have seen my grocery list
    but I still forgot to buy salad
    and a treat for the puppy
    (not that HE cared but it would have shut him up)


  • 116 hours without soda.
    Cranktankery is my mood.

    Walking going solidly – about a 50/50 which is to be expected – and will also be slightly suspended by Mr. Dog’s impending nut-ectomy.

    Eating out – 2 out of 3 work day this week. Not so hot. That goal sucks.

    Just got home from the Tempe Festival of the Arts. That was nice.
    Just finished The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins. That was…frustrating in many ways.
    Joined 24hr Fitness – up front cost insane – but three year membership is covered as is a $49/year renewal fee. Long-term goals anyone?

    Want a Coke.
    Want a Coke.
    Badly.

    Going to pay bills and work on the menu/planning for the impending Open House next Sunday.
    That will be fun – too bad everyone on here is too far away to make it – we’re having J-made Cheesecake and delicious Gelato as well as meatballs (if I can find a recipe for Sweet and Sour ones) and some snacky foods.
