NEVERMIND AND RIPPED OFF

NI HAO ! (chinese for Hello)

MMMMMM... so be quiet - this is my third blog, but I am immensely bored out of my gord and with it being like 13 degrees outside, I don't feel like doing much else but sitting here anyway.

So okay - on with it ...

I have "Neverminded" the thought of going far for the weekend. Sigh, I want to .. but everything I REALLY want to do, either no one is around or it is too far. :O( Booo, Windi - I so wanna hang out too :O( I wanna take a trip right now !

Excuse my temper tantrum. Pffft !

So... I have no idea what we are going to do for the weekend ... Adam leaves at 5 am.. and then what ???  I don't wanna waste the whole weekend sitting about the house again !! I wish I had somewhere to go. Dang it all. I seriously thought I would have heard about the van by now - but nothing - so I guess I will just drive around ... who knows. Option is to spend as little money as possible anyway...

Went to Goodwill this evening. Left there pretty ticked off actually and I prolly won't ever go back. I found 2 nice outfits, ya know - my normal long skirt and shirt thing and I even found two nice sweaters to go along with it. One sweater didn't have the tag. I THOUGHT  that - 'ok, this is  Goodwill, I can afford it'. I don't usually buy myself very many things. But when she told me because it was a "Lands End" sweater she had to charge me 10.00 for it, I was pretty livid. I really liked it. but 10 dollars !!  It was USED ! AT GOODWILL for crying out loud ! ! IS the store not Goodwill anymore ??? ... Greedwill, maybe. Who cares what name brand it was, I liked the sweater and that it matched. I could almost go over to WalMart and get a BRAND NEW sweater for 15, I looked at them the other day.

I find it pathetic that they get this stuff free and then charge you out the butt for it. What happens to the folks that cannot even afford that ? Do the only choice they have anymore is to go look in the garbage ? This is rediculous. I absofreakin lutely hate that people have become so greedy !!!!

Anyways, tonight is Brittany's birthday. She wanted to go see the movie "Bolt" with her friends, so we let her. Adam just went to pick up all the girls and drop them at Pizza Hut for thier dinner and pick up ours as well ... then they will walk across the street to see the movie. We didn't have too much money for alot else, but she said she understood.

I did buy her a new coat and hat though and she liked that alot.

Oh well, guess I should get off the computer or find something else to do. When it is cold, I tend to find I sit here more because I gots me a little space heater and then the cold don't make me hurt so much... lol.

Have a great night everyone !

  1. Oh, happy birthday kiddo, enjoy the movie.

    Lands End. Yep. They are pricey there. Fo Sho. I can imagine them charging so much... But yeah, they did get it free. Why do they profit? Do they donate or something. I don't think I know. I'm sure it is for a good cause. ... I hope.

  2. So you like long skirts?
    I didnt know this!

    10 bucks is high for ANY clothing at Goodwill. We have two really good ones that I will check out from time to time...I totally agree with you! ugh!

    I hope the girls have fun tonight at the movies! I finally saw a commercial for BOLT watching tv with kristin yesterday...looks cute!

    I am feeling the same way as you about this weekend...we need to do something fun. I suggested we go bowling tomorrow..nick can be such a weenie at times and not want to do anything.
    How about planning dinner/movie night at home tomorrow with everyone..make something cheap and filling like spaghetti, then have tons of popcorn for dessert while watching a movie THE KIDS pick out..OR plan game night, that might be fun. ITs not going out but you might get some laughs in....

    Have a good night!

  6. Sigh. I guess we won't be seeing each other this weekend....

    $10 bucks? goodwill??? That's stupid. Seriously. Who cares what 'name brand' it is. All sweaters should be the same price. No matter WHAT brand they are. Phoey on them. I won't pay more than $5 dollars for any clothes at Goodwill. That's the whole point of going there! Jeez. I'm mad for you!!!

  13. HUGE Happy Birthday Wishes to Brittany! I hope her day was great!:)
    I agree with you..$10.00 at Good Will is outrageous!! You could go somewhere else and get a new one for a little more or even cheaper.
    I think the dinner and movie night at home sounds like fun! We do that every so often and it doesn't cost much!
    Sweet Dreams Gf!((HUGS))
