Grocery list of a starving college student

So after I put money in the bank for bills I had about 40 bucks left and I decided to stop to save-a-lot. Just for spaghetti sauce and cereal. Well Save-a-lot has prices that are beyond low, even though the people that shop there are scuz buckets (excluding me).
So this is what I ended up getting all for 26 buck-a-roos mind you:
Bread 1.65
generic oreos 1.19
eggs 1.89
Robin Eggs whoopers 1.49
chocolate frosting .99
cereal 1.89

Sundays are made for this

2008-02-24T13:50:00.002-05:00

Art, creating, paper, paint, glue.....

Sundays are totally made for me and my craftiness. I love that I am doing art instead of homework. My hands are totally drying out from touching all this paper and glue OUCH.
Right now I have a flower journal drying, used super glue on my ghost flowers. Seperated all my scrappies and such into usable categories. About to start on the antique vintage star candle holder. I am going to cover it in blue scraps and decoupage it, maybe add some ghost stars.

Keep checking the store. www.createathought.etsy.com

FREAKING CLODHOPPERS

2008-02-13T00:19:00.006-05:00

This is my favorite candy, it was introduced to me by James' mom. I then introduced it to my dad. My dad and I love it. I used to be able to get the bags at a grocery store 15-20 miles away. All of a sudden they do not carry them anymore...
CRAP
So I am scrounging money up to buy a case from the actual company. I do not think I can buy them in the US anymore, since the company is Canadian.
My dad asked me to send him a bag, and I wanted to for Valentines, but unfortunatly I won't have enough pennies saved for the 25.00 case and 5.00 shipping. I am getting close with selling stuff in my etsy shoppe. But I am excited to be able to tell my dad I bought him a case! That is 12 bags of clodhoppers!

But buying Clodhoppers for my POP isn't the only reason I started my etsy shoppe. I also want to donate money to http://www.dogsrule.com/
It is from Pedigree, and the money goes towards helping find abandoned and pound dogs homes. I want to adopt so much, but since my one love doggie is such and handful, plus I am not home enough, I want to donate to help doggies that I cannot take home.

I also hope to earn some extra school money. To be less of a financial burden on my out of state rents....

MY FIRST FICTION STORY!

2008-02-01T01:02:00.000-05:00

This semester as part of my requirements for my Creative Writing degree I am taking a Fiction Writing class. I have never written an actual fiction story but have toyed with the idea many times. I am pretty darn good and poetry if I do say so myself so I thought "how hard could it be?"
Well it was pretty hard but I think my first piece was pretty darn good. For a first try....
I don' know how to post it on here since it is seven pages long??

Scrappin Thank You!

2008-01-25T13:57:00.001-05:00

We were meant to live for so much more, have we lost ourselves?

2008-01-19T21:32:00.000-05:00

I wanted to take a break from typing up my fiction response paper and just blog it up.
I went grocery shopping today, much needed!
Went with Bucia as always, we have a good time shopping together going slow as possible.
But despite the fact I get annoyed with children and people, I get overheated, the prices are crazy, you can't ever find the thing you have a coupon for.....
I still can't feel extremely lucky. That even as poor as I feel right now I am still able to afford fifty bucks of food. And thanks to coupons it is actually enough to keep me afloat til mid Feb.
I feel extremely lucky because I know there are people that cannot afford even fifty, and they are on food stamps and starving in the world. And I just want to say that I AM GRATEFUL. I truly am because my life may seem hard somedays, but every day I wake up in my warm bed and I get up and know there is clean water and food to eat. Everyday I know that I can take a shower and wash my clothes and turn on lights.
I make enough at my job to pay my bills, and I am extremely lucky in the sense that I have a job and can pay the bills. I rarely have money to get frappacinos, pizza, go to the bar, get new shoes. But really I do not NEED any of that.
I have all I need, a warm house, a car, my wonderful dog, food in the freezer, clean clothes, and utilities.
I read about people and places that just don't have all these things. People who have gotten laid off because the economy in the US sucks, even in Michigan, some 30,000 people have left because of the job situation.
My parents moved to Missouri because of GM, I am living in my house, alone with my dog. I pay for everything on my own.
When my parents send me money it is for the dogs expensive food eye care and grooming.
I pay my bills gas grocery etc.
I am so lucky, I have a life that I am extremely grateful for.

P.S. I am going through and deleting my older archives, because I am making this more public and I am not sure what I have written in the past, so every couple of months I am going to print off my entries and delete the older months. Just wanted to let you know in case you were looking for an older post or comment.

I love nothing so much

2008-01-04T13:22:00.000-05:00

As I love this girl
*She's got a way about her
I don't know what it is
But I know that I can't live without her
She's got a smile that heals me
I don't know why it is
But I have to laugh when she reveals me
She comes to me when I'm feelin' down
Inspires me without a sound*

Would you believe the luck I have?
I am going to start 2008 sick!

What a way to start the new year.......

Ready for oh eight

2007-12-30T12:44:00.000-05:00

At the end of every year I feel completely ready for the next new year and what lays ahead for me. I don't know if it is because it holds new adventures, new experiences. A chance to be different and do things differently. But I feel that every year is the same, I make promises and break them, resolutions never kept, changes never made. So why is it every year I am so eager to go through the same motions? Pretending and convincing myself things "will" be different this time around.
Who knows, maybe this year will be different. Hopefully it won't go as fast as 2007 did, it really just flew by.

Anniversary

2007-12-24T10:50:00.000-05:00

Happy Four Year Anniversary to James and I!

2007 Recap

2007-12-21T12:33:00.000-05:00

I wrote this before the 2007 New Year in my blog last year, Dec 2006
2007
Has to be better
Has to be sweeter
Has to involve less tears
Has to hurt less
Has to feel good

Well in reality, 2007 was better, but it involved more tears. It wasn't sweetier, but it was a little easier. It did feel good at a lot of points, but it still felt bad too.

What does 2008 hold for me?

I guess I adore him

2007-12-17T19:29:00.000-05:00

I did this using some great products from www.shopscrapbooksupplies.com

Wake up call SHEESH

2007-12-06T23:42:00.000-05:00

One of my neighbors (still unknown) called the police because my garage door went up at 2am.

So an officer and the sherrif cars come. The cop is banging on my door, finally I answer.
Scared me half to death I thought I was going to pass out I was so shaken up.
The cop is like one of your neighbors was worried and called the police and we are just checkin on you.
He just kept saying are you ok and giving me funny looks.
Probably because I am standing in my pjs and its freezing out and well you know hanes white tee-shirts and polka dot pants, my hair is a mess, and my retainer is preventing me from talking correctly.
I didnt know what to do I was like blanking and that is why the cop was like do you want me to close it for you?
I went and looked and closed the garage.
The cop had said they looked around and nothing looked suspicious.
I tried to calm down but I kept shaking and crying and I felt so alone.
The cop sat in my driveway for about 15 minutes.
Finally I just had to go to sleep I had class in the morning, but I am shaking and the dog is shaking and it was not easy to get back to bed at 2:30 am. I still don't know for sure which neighbor called but I am down to the two across from me.

And then tonight, stressed, tired, so so so shaken up still. I broke down.

'tis the season

2007-12-03T23:40:00.000-05:00

My holiday greetings for all my bloggey readers!

My snapfish cards: I hope it looks ok, I had to scan it...

Tidbits learned

2007-12-02T20:51:00.000-05:00

I have been sick for the better part of this past week. I have learned many a lesson from my position on the couch.

Working while, no matter if it is the sniffles or the flu, just is not fun. Working just makes it 1 million times worse.
Running out of Kleenex at the height of the illness feels like the end of the world. But do not be afraid to text anyone and everyone to bring you a box.
No one is going to take care of you when you are an adult, and that really sucks. Even your boyfriend of four years won't take care of you.
JUICE is essential, have it on hand before getting sick.
Don't stop brushing just washed hair just because you are sick, the knots and tangles will be overwhelming when you finally feel like brushing again.
Discovery, history, and travel channels can be interesting AND informal, after so many days of garbage on tv.
Loss of appetite due to illness does not mean don't eat and maybe you will lose weight, but forcing yourself to get off the couch to eat some crackers is almost not worth the effort.
Do laundry the first day you feel sick, because sunday at nine pm when you realize you need pants for work, and the thought of going down the stairs makes you want to throw up, you will have your laundry already done.
FINALLY Do not feel guilty for doing absolutely nothing the entire weekend, despite the fact you have nothing done for Christmas, and your exams and final projects are looming. DO NOT FEEL GUILTY!

How young is too young?

2007-10-18T19:20:00.000-04:00

For sex and birth control.
All I have been hearing about in the news is about these middle school kids getting on the pill and patch. I feel like a pit has been put in my stomach and is growing. I am outraged and I am not a parent. But middle school?
When I was in middle school I didn't like boys and they sure as heck didn't like me(I was pretty ugly with thick glasses and braces).
Let me tell you I had crushes but the thought of being sexually active with a boy was not even in my mind at all. I couldn't even ask a boy to dance. I just can't imagine at the age of middle school ever being interested in anything except sleep overs and sports, school dances going to the mall, riding my bike, summer break.
I did not even have my first kiss until I was 16.
I don't understand what is wrong with people and kids these days. Middle school is too young for sex, it just shouldn't happen, and instead of birth control there needs to be more sex ed. more information being given to these school about sex so these kids know what they are doing.
Sex is everywhere in our society and these kids are growing up thinking it is fun and games and they can do it too, and that is the farthest thing from the truth.
There is no way in middle school I would have even been close to ready to be sexually active, in fact I wasn't even ready when I became so. But I refuse to believe this is what our society has come to.

OH score!

Tats on Sat

2007-10-15T18:46:00.000-04:00

So I am getting my second tattoo on Saturday with my Girl Molly. My plan is to Fill up my back so that it is like a large mural. We will see how that goes because they aren't cheap.
So I am just stuck in muck on what I want to get. I have a few ideas. And one that is just sticking sticking sticking in my mind is this one.

I want to get it on my lower back. I like it 1) because I like roses, favorite flower, already have one rose on upper back. 2) it is in the shape of a heart.
The spot it would work and look best in is lower back. Unfortunatley since I have gained weight it is not a spot I really want to show off Certain fattyness annoys me and certain stretch marks are ugly.
But I am so obsessed with this design it is all I can think about when I think about getting a tattoo.
Below is another sort of interesting design I like. Goes along with my broken soul image I have. I like the broken heart.

Movie night...

2007-10-12T11:34:00.000-04:00

12:00pm

If I get to see this tonight I will be so happy!

1:44 pm

Brrr It is freezing! It is so cold in my house. I am ok but my dogster is shivering her timbers all day and night. I just went through and closed and locked my windows. But I just don't want to trun on the heat yet. I need a way to warm the house up cheaply....

6:52 pm

Bummed.... can't see resident evil it is at the wrong movie theater. Going to go see cheaper movie the new Die hard.
I caved I turned the heat on, sooo cold in the house and the dog shivering is breaking my heart.
Going to scrap and create this weekend. I might even paint I had some visions today and I might want to get them down on paper.
If I don't update one more time tonight have a good night.

Revamping

2007-10-11T14:21:00.000-04:00

So last night I decided that I was going to change my template.
So I saved the old html and put in the new. So I wanted to incorp all my stuff like my blogs I read and my links and my sj ring. Well for some reason the old html will not work now.
Crap.
So I have spent random times today changing it around to my liking. I am keeping my old blog header for now until I can(or someone artsy) can come up with something that will work with my new look. I like that you can add page elements much easier now and there is less to do in the actual html look, but I cannot get my sj ring back and it is annoying the crap out of me.
I think this weekend I will offer a challenge with a prize to anyone who can come up with some awesome headers for me.
Leave a comment over the next couple posts letting me know if you think you want to make a header for me!

Peace

Falling in love with Autumn

6 things

2007-10-08T15:27:00.000-04:00

What are some things in my house that I could not live without?

1 My candles:
yankee, oil wax, partylite, I love smelly scenty candles. Tea lights wax tarts anything that burns and smells yummy I love. I probably light a candle every day it is a habit now when I am in the basement to light a candle, or two or three....

2 My dog:
Does she count as a thing? I love this little being that gives so much purpose and entertainment in my life. I realize every day without her I would be so so so alone, totally alone, totally alone in a house all night. I am so thankful that she follows me around and when I sit down she has to be on there with me. I am thankful she is excited to go to bed with me and when I wake up I know that by the time I get the coffee brewing she is waiting for her nuggies. I could eat her up my lil cutie pootie puppy-o.

3 My Bed:
I sleep an insane amount, especially recently with my stress and life levels, school and work and everything in between is just dragging me down. I love that for naps and long refreshing sleeps I can go in my bed and it comforts my back pains and it smells like sleepyness. I just could not live without my bed, no others compare.

4 My Directv
I love being able to Veg and watch soapnet all night when I just need to shut my brain off. I like that I have a lot of options and I get to see my fav shoes, nip/tuck, rescue me, scrubs, satc. Stuff I would not be able to see if I didn't have some kind of cable.

5 My coffee table
I never had one until I lived on my own and now I could never live without it. Even though 90% of the time I have it covered with notebooks and mail and coasters it just fits in my living room. I eat at it study at it and when I lay on the couch anything I am doing or eating I can rest on my coffee table and it is right there.

6 My journals
I love writing if I could write all day instead of go to school and work I would. I try to get into the habit of writing every night before bed but that does not always work. I used to have weekly writing meetings with a friend but schedules always conflict. I am loving all my empty journals I have waiting for my thoughts and vents and good bad and ugly poems. I love looking through the stuff I already have written.

My parents are here just until tomorrow afternoon. This weekend is going far too fast. And the fact that I will be all alone as soon as tomorrow is making my heart hurt in so many ways. I miss them....

ME WANT

2007-09-24T00:41:00.000-04:00

Every time I go to Barnes and Noble I head right to the poetry section. I love to read and write poetry. I love to be inspired. One book I always pick up is Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair by Pablo Neruda.

That man can write! I really want to own it but never can spend the money. Pablo Neruda is by far one of my favorite poets. I really need to rent the postman again. Maybe I can get James to watch it with me, though he will be less than thrilled by the idea of subtitles. I love to copy Neruda's style and technique, his imagery and rawness for love and women. Obviously I write mine towards the male side instead but along the same lines. I can copy all I want and still I don't know if I will ever come close to being the type of writer he is, I am like a light weight up against the world champion heavy weight. That is all well and good because that man just Inspires the heck out of me!

Soap Plug

2007-09-20T11:10:00.000-04:00

Ok I cannot get over how much I am in love with these soaps. They are super expensive so I always wait until they are on sale for 5/10. That does not happen very often. But I love this soap and the weird thing is I consider it MY soap, I put it away when guests come over and they use the generic store brand soap. James has gotten into the habit of using my good soap, I can always tell because his hands smell nice when he gets out of the bathroom. LOL what a dork I cannot believe he likes my girly soaps.
Right now I am using Tropical Pineapple, my Favorite B&BW scent is always Cherry Blossom.

Excited for Turkey day.

I cannot wait until Thanksgiving.
I am going to see the Lions play against Green Bay on Thanksgiving Day.
And the best part is the tickets were free! How you ask? Well my work has a commercial ad on a local tv station, I am actually in the commercial it is pretty neat, well anyways the guy who handles our account was talking about schoomzing us and mentioned tickets.
Well the original plan was he was going to give us six tickets for an upcoming game. Well then he calls and I answered at noon and he said he could only get two tickets for the Oct. 21st game, but then mentioned he had Tickets for the Thanksgiving game because he wasn't going to go on the holiday, so of course I said I wanted them.
I called James and he was like HELL YES!!!!! Especially when I told them they were free. So we are both super excited, I am just hoping nothing falls through with these tickets. Man now that we have our hopes up and we have been telling people. I am really excited it will be so fun to scrapbook a less than traditional Thanksgiving!
I need to go shopping for a Lions jersey to wear!!!

Poem two out of 30!

Perfect bliss lies on lovers tongues who are unwilling to do or say anything to make it right by your laws.
Shall he be punished and rightfully so, for has he not sinned against you, his fellow man his lover, scorned betrayed a mad woman, a shell, an excuse for a human.
She unlike any other will turn his advances away and make him pay and hurt the way she has paid and hurt for too long.
I say I shall scream it from the tops of houses that I am free and bare and lonely and I have been taken hostage and for granted.
But I can rise out of his self proclaimed black hole of misery and set fire to all the world and all the world will know my name and fear and wonder in it's sound.

1/30 poems

2007-08-14T23:14:00.000-04:00

I want to try and update my blog for thirty days straight with some of my recent writing works, just to get myself back in the habit of writing before school starts. I have actually been writing a couple times a week but now I will try and post every day for 30 days something newer.

I am sinking down
the brown gray earth swallowing me
I touch the bare core
and feel myself spit up
a corpse of broken bones and a broken soul.

I am crawling out
of my self dug hole
my bones scrape against dry clay
leaving behind fragments for rememberance
small white pieces of what I worked
so hard to build.

I am kneeling
before the idol gods
praying for deliverance
hoping not to be answered
willing to sacrifice nothing
in return for everything.

The pretty pretty thing that was in my garden?

This is about the only bug that does not scare the living day lights out of me! And I was outside enjoying the sun when I saw this pretty b-fly. I had to get some pics.

This is what happens when I am depressed

2007-07-29T22:55:00.001-04:00

I decide when I am depressed I need dessert. I decide to go to meijers. I decide rootbeer floats sound good. I decide that Ben and Jerry's on sale for 2/for 5 is a great thing. I drink about four of these last night.

But oh man they were soooooo good! But yeah did not help much with the depression, just made me feel fat and full.
But I scrapped and that was good!

Ignorance

2007-07-22T16:38:00.000-04:00

A poem I wrote a while ago. In my jorunal from Nancy!

Ignorance flows through us like blood
We let it drip out in our words and our actions.
We soak it up daily
We think it is funny and we openly encourage it.
We cannot live without ignorance
It has taken over our way of life, our culture.
Ignorance is our neighbor, our friend, our family member
Ignorance lives in each one of us.
It can control you in ways that are harmful
Ignorance can run you life, it can destroy you.

Sometimes I feel like there is so much ignorance in the world and in people in my life it is like I am swimming in it.

Something I don't get

2007-07-18T23:53:00.000-04:00

WHAT IS IT???
What is it with Barnes and Noble and Stephanie and I getting hit on by old men?
I cannot stand it, it has happened twice now and it is just annoying, I DON'T want to talk to you I DON'T want to have you sit by us and ask personal questions.
YOU ARE OVER 60 we are 21 not no not no not cool man!
I just do not get it?
Do old men think young women like them?
Well sorry bud-o not me.
