This is a test. When I was sick I saw this guy & soon felt better!

huh?

I've been meaning to put this up. It's a tumor in a brain. A tumor in the shape of a foot. try to look away. Try! I dare you.

Is good... ya?

I am pleased to inform you that:
1. I have not shopped - I've been sick and incapacited so that helped.
2. I have not hurt anyone yet. (see item one)
3. I only had 2 drinks for Fat Tuesday
4. The Nutrisystem food doesn't taste like crap which is good (see item two)
5. I got one of the last items I bought on Ebay before my abstinence vows... (miu miu and prada shoes) I will pet them whenever I get sad or frustrasted.
6. Almost done with New Moon. (see item one)

If I can continue being sick for another 35 plus days, I'll be set! Oh black lung don't fail me now!!

The Promise

so... with lent around the corner (no i'm not Catholic...technically I'm buddhist.. but I respect and value all religions) I've decided to TRY to focus on the good and do a couple of things to better myself.
1. try not to drink alcohol as much - this is defined as not drinking more than 2 or 3 drinks per week. - Most importantly NOT getting drunk/crazy tipsy till mid April.
2. 33-38-40.5
3. nutrisystem - going to stick with this for atleast 2 months - ideally 3 months with a goal of losing 30 lbs. Would like to lose 10-15 lbs by my birthday.
4. not fixate on the bad - keep a positive attitude.
5. not shop for clothes/shoes/accessories until the Week of April 13th. (holy crap)
6. blog more as I will need a place to vent my frustrations.

This may be alot to ask, and I know that I will get seriously ill from eating a crapload of peeps after all this is all said and done. I just want to see if I can do this and be true to myself.

I will still be be blogging about the travesty that is my life and the vile acts of visual assaults I encounter - I just don't want to be 'one of them'. Wish me luck.....
today - good is winning the fight

The big "O"

Every girl needs a vice. I've got a few, for my fellow females that don't have one.... So I was having a not so good day yesterday. I've been in a not good day mood for a while now, so bad that I thought 'shopping' wouldn't help. What has the world come to, when I'm losing hope in 'shopping'? Luckily, the gods were smiling upon me.

I had dinner with a girlfriend at the mall - which coincidentally has a NM last call. So I decided to poke around and see if there was anything 'take home' worthy. That's when I stumbled across the above and also bought a lovely Nanette Lepore jacket to top the emsemble off. The last couple visits to NM last call hasn't been noteworthy so I was pleasantly surprised. I walked out feeling much better as I:

1. helped the economy
2. was in shopping 'o' afterglow
3. was enroute for a drink and dinner with my GF

You know it's real good when you don't have any regrets the next day.

Whaaa??

You thought Barney was retired! Retarded, yes. Retired, I don't know. The missing Teletubby? Maybe.

Things have been challenging lately. I just don't have the strength to be a wholesome good person. I try (kinda) but I've been thinking about switching in my halo for a nice sharp pitchfork....

Score

I'm pleased to say NY wasn't a bust. I didn't get sick over the weekend. I felt a little ill but that was self induced....(that is all I will say).

I went to the Barney's Warehouse sale - I've never been to a warehouse sale in the city, it was definately an experience. Lot's of women clammering for items, a bunch of designer garb, still overpriced and people trying things on in the aisles. I managed to see what I believed were models, some bad plastic surgery and ppl with way too much money or great credit card limits. I should've walked out empty handed but landed a bitchin pair of Miu Miu's. I really couldn't pass up the deal .... (that is all I will say). Also, there is no recession in NYC. Seriously, it's crazy, so many people shopping, eating and drinking? What are they doing that I'm not. I need to get 'in' on the action.

I balanced my shopping karma by going to a consignment/exchange store (Beacon't Closet) in Brooklyn where I passed by a boutique and got these Ugg driving loafers for $20. Nope... not a typo. New in the box and it really was UGG Australia opposed to Ug or Igg or some crazy knock off. They retail for about $130. So score!

We ate, we drank, we shopped. We were also overstimulated while people watching. When is it a good idea to wear a sequined mini skirt and medal/leather biker boots? Why would a woman in a buzzcut (not hot... so very not hot) who looked like a midwest meat and potatoes brood dye her hair magenta and wear pink makeup? Was she on crack or the Drew Carey show? Why was I being visually assaulted? Did I do or say something to deserve such treatment? Or were the blogging gods watching over me to give me something to sass about?

2009 Resolution update

I tried to be a better person but failed the first month. I need to modify this resolution to 'try to be a better person and not kill anyone or get arrested avenging some unkindly act'.
Sounds easy... maybe
but YOU try to avenge a wrong and not get arrested (or caught)... not so easy.

Head cold

Getting sick on friday the 13th. ugh I don't really care about that... but I do care about my trip to NY getting F'ed up.

That would suck... but if I go shopping I may be extra aggressive.... or simply pass out. Last time I felt like shit I did this (see image). I photoshopped a bad memory out of a picture. I would've done worse but it's apparently 'illegal' to set someone on fire..... oh well.
Going to restart the band to get my aggression out. SAD NEWS - I bought two lottery tickets.....and I didn't win.
Guess I gotta keep moving and shakin.. Happy that I'm hanging with the sexy man and one of my fav GalPals this weekend! We shall dominate NYC. I pity the fool that crosses our path.

Anyone looking for Valentine's day ideas - nothing quite says I love you like a big shiny credit card and lots of cocktails!
