From Nothing to do with Arbroath:

My $63 glasses

I know, I should probably invest what I saved into a dermatologist appointment....

I ran across Glassy Eyes around December of last year and have been trying to coordinate having my pupillary distance read by my Optician Technician friend since. You see, there are people out there who sell glasses with a prescription for $7.95 on up. I've known that the mark-up of glasses frames was well above a keystone and as I'm trying to be frugal, I really didn't want to pay $300 for a pair of glasses. I was rather skeptical at first, but after reading through his site and others' comments about their experience, I decided to take the plunge. For $40, I didn't think I could go wrong - especially if everything worked out.

I ordered glasses from 39DollarGlasses.com on the 14th and they arrived today. I think they may be a little too big for my face, but for $63 bucks, I'm pretty happy (I added a reflective coating for $25). Of course, I've only had them on for 20 minutes.... I'll let you know if I develop excruciating headaches because the script was wrong or something.

Something that I MUST have

It's from Perpetual Kid and only $19.99. It reminds me of Cy.

9 inches baby!!

We went to VV (Value Village) last night for a quick run through. I hadn't been there in almost a week - at least that location, and so I was itchin' to see if there was anything new. No new patterns, fabric, or notions - too bad. We did come across a few sinks which we originally weren't in the market for, except for the fact that the one thing that's bothered me about my ghetto kitchen has been the 4in. sink. You put three dishes in it and the damn thing's full. It's really a problem if you're as filthy as I am.

One of the sinks was an AmeriCast with a few scratches on it, but at $13, the price was right up my alley. The depth was even nicer and is about 9 solid inches. It's not gAndy's sink which I covet, but those are hard to find. We did buy a new faucet since we had a lever one and wanted to upgrade to one with handles. This is where I get really cheap. The faucet was $70 bucks. I didn't see the point in buying one for $200 to match my $13 sink. It'll work for now.

The bear installed it this afternoon and we're waiting for the caulk to dry. After dinner he informed me that his dish was in the sink in case I couldn't see it. Oh, yeah, I know the tile work is awful, but that's for another day. Preferably once IKEA sets up in the Piedmont.

I didn't think that women menstruated in the 40s.

Creepiest anipals ever

War coloring posters? I suppose that wouldn't fly today, eh?

This sh*t never worked in gym class for me

Random images

We've been assessing our bound serial collection and while sifting through old volumes looking for issue numbers, I came across a few images.

Yikes, I feel like a worthless piece of sh*t now

This just never gets old

It could be because I was in looooove with Mr. Astley in the 80s. I also had a huge crush on Boy George. My parents used to giggle at my obsession.

Apologies to all

Sorry for sounding like Debbie the Downer lately. I suffer from seasonal depression. It's going to be 78 on Wednesday though.

From Wikipedia:

• "Ever since they found mad cow disease in the U.S., I'm not taking any chances. It can live in your body for years before it ravages your brain."
• "I guess Roy (from Siegfried and Roy) isn't doing as well as they first thought... He was attacked by his own tiger and suffered devastating injuries."
• "Did you guys hear about that train explosion in North Korea? ... The media is so sensitive there; so secretive. We may never know how many people perished." (Dratch loses her composure after this line.)
• "Wow, you guys, Disney World really is fun. It makes me feel like a kid again. I mean, the time before my two-year stint at children's hospital."
• "Oh, hey Pluto. Hi. Boy, it must be fun to work here... although, the biggest drawback to working at a theme park is that you must live under constant fear of deathly terrorist attacks."
• "With that costume on, He (Pluto) was probably in the early stages of heat stroke." (Having regained her composure, Dratch started laughing again with this line.)
• "Speaking of... speaking of... (Dratch cannot contain herself and continues to laugh.) Speaking of heat, if this greenhouse effect keeps up we'll all be living underwater."
• "By the way, it's official... I can't have children!" (Dratch had trouble delivering this line.)
• "(Feline AIDS is) the #1 killer of domestic cats."
• "Slather up the sunscreen... I had a mole looked at recently and the doctor told me that due to the extent of its irregular borders I'm flirting with a melanoma."

Sure I can find a job in Chicago - No problem whatsoever

I've been rejected by at least 12 different employers in the past year. Loyola's has been the nicest response so far:

However, we must inform you that you are no longer under active consideration for this position.

Run to the hills

I got an offer the other day to sew some bridesmaid dresses - 6 of them to be precise. Unfortunately, I had to decline the offer. The bride to be was really great to talk with about what she wanted and the look she was going for. 1930s glam to be precise. How ever, there were 6 girls to fit for a very form fitting pattern. Oh, and a pattern that I would have to create myself. Also, 2 of the girls lived out of the country and one was to drop a baby a month prior to the wedding. Such a situation is way too complicated and requires way more expertise than I have at the moment and so I'll just piddle on with my day-to-day sewing and cry on the inside.

Actually, there's just absolutely no way I'm screwing up some chicks wedding.

Favorite Craigslist add of the day

Initially, I was concerned about the photo in the mirror and just now noticed the Care Bear pic. What the hell do you think it is? She wants $50 for it. I'd probably pay that much just to see the rest of the room.

Classic comedy

Here's to the upcoming football season

I hate orange too.

I want this painting. If anyone would like to buy it for me, please fork over the mere $800 for it. You will need a large auto to bring it to my house as it's around 8ft by 5ft. Check her stuff out on Flickr.

She's a local artist and has her stuff at Dish and Century Vintage.
