Upgrade in Humility

Image
I was looking on eBay and the old Iphones are going for 299.00 for the 16 GB I was all holy crap I have one of those. So I went to AT&T and the new Iphones are 99.00 Wow It doesn’t take a genius to figure this one out I sold my old 16 GB for a sweet 300 bucks. I bought the new Iphone for 100 bucks Bragged about it to everyone I know how I made 200 dollars How clever I am How crazy the world is How nuts it is someone to buy something older when they could buy new for cheaper. Twittered it. Facebooked it. Spent the profit on foolish things while waiting for my new super duper upgraded Iphone3GS I assume the S is for super duper. It came. It’s not the S It’s the old Iphone The old iphone refurbished It’s an 8 GB I so totally downgraded for 200 bucks What a loser

Diva Days Gone By

Image
It is no secret to my readers that I consider myself a Diva. I am a lazy one though and I do most my shopping online and have often wondered how did Divas manage before the internet. What about before the TV shopper Channels or worst yet Malls, Walmart, or Strip Malls. Here is your answer. They had the Sears Catalog It's massive and this one is a reproduction from 1897. Buy yours here. First I would outfit my baby in this sporty thing. Do you imagine they parked them outside? Where would you put it? In the carriage house? I could buy all the latest fashions Sadly they only have eight pages of woman's clothes. Eight! What would a clothes whore like me do? I suppose since I wasnt wasting my time aimlessly surfing blogs or watching bad tv, I could learn how to sew and make my own magnificent creations on this wonderful device. I would probably be too stressed out from all that work though and have to buy a whole bunch of these things, for my woman problems. How fun! Just think 1...

Tough Times for Tough People

The economy being what it is, I would hate to think I wasn’t doing my part to spend sensibly and have made drastic cut backs! New rules for the household No more eyelash extensions Gamble at casino only 4 times a year not every month Nails every other week rather then once a week Limit adult pay per view rentals to 1 a week (pick wisely!) No iTunes at all! Evil addictive iTunes Buy brand cigs online Tan 1 time less per week Peel potatoes rather then buying instant (this is really doing my nails in by the way!) Eat out only on weekends (again pick wisely) Buy candy only in bulk (I can’t see this helping as much as I had hoped) Buy one ply See how frugal I am? I am making these drastic changes in drastic times So very proud but geez I hope it doesn’t last long. ;) PS Yes I am exaggerating (sort of), but I do miss those fun filled cash is no object days

You Can Yell at Me

Since leaving cube-ville (h3ll?), the quest has been for the perfect phone. I knew they would call me in desperation, want, need, omg what we do without you please! I wanted to be set up to ignore them properly. I have a land line but it’s this dumb wireless phone. The phone would ring but it would never be on its cradle. It would be under a cushion, under the sofa, in the bathroom that was if the stupid thing was even charged. In frustration I bought an old fashioned corded phone tethered forever to the wall Argh but no caller ID No worries I hooked up the old answering machine Argh they all hang up No worries I will star 69 the sneaky callers Argh it cost like 75 cents or something and if you do that every day a couple times, it can add up. No worries I will buy a cheap tethered wall phone with caller id on the handset. Argh you have to pick the stupid thing up for the caller id to register, and you have essentially just answered it. No Worries I will look real quick and hang up. Arg...

NOW

It's here My Kindle! I thought the iphone was great but this thing...... OMG Every ADHD persons dream! I would like to read that book. Now! I wish I could surf the net wirelessly away from home. Now! I wonder if that books is any good? I should download a preview. Now! I can barely see this font, I wish it was bigger. NoW! I use to have that book. I wish I still did. I would read it again. Now! Yes, I know all you artsy fartsy types like to smell your old moldy books and dream of when you first read it. I get how you fell in love with it and how the look of the worn and torn yellow pages makes you all weepy and sad for your lost youth. Its great how much you adore the dusty old book stores with the old creepy furniture and over varnished shelfs. I know how much you enjoyed purusing for hours to find some first edition kid book that is probably on sell on ebay for 8 dollars. I get it. I really do. I'd listen to you go on and on about it and I will even nod now and then, but ple...

Organise your Home and Get Cash

I dropped my purse face down and all the loose change fell on the floor. While cursing and grunting to bend over and pick it up, it occurred to me that I have loose change everywhere Any open freaking container, bag, pocket, jar, piece of furniture, or car has change in, on, or under it. They need to be in one spot! I will do that now! I proceeded to plow through rooms, flipping cushions, rattling pockets, empty drawers, and shaking bags. I ended up with two Tupperware bowls of loose change. Wow Feeling proud of myself for getting the coins chaos under control, I looked at the gleaming piles of cash as my payment. I ran off to a coin for cash machine. 80 bucks! Look how productive I am. I deserved a treat. Two stores, lunch, and one tanning session later I staggered home. I threw the few coins left over from my windfall on the table, dropped my bags and gazed in horror at destruction in house. It looked like a tornado had gone through here. Cushions flipped drawers out, scattered conta...

IPhone Love Affair

Image
I freaking love my Iphone When it was new everyone was all like: It doesnt do this or that or blah or its expensive or ill wait for version 2 yadda yadda I even had one guy I worked with try vehemently to talk me out of buying one? All he accomplished was the nickname IPHONE HATER now and forever more. Why I liked it and was so excited is because I knew it is an itty bitty computer with a blank screen. Get it? It software driven! It will change ALL the TIME. EVERY DAY if you like Wipe it and start all over! Do you see now? So anywhooooo... I am a huge iphone application freak So dear internet, I feel that I would do you a grave injustice if i didnt gush all about my secret obsession(s) I therefore willtell you about the best applications I have found.

Dear Santa

Dear Santa, I know I told you to get lost years ago when I was a young poor kid and you were either too busy to come see me or scared of the neighbor’s pit bull, whatever chubs, but I will give you one more chance. Since that day I vowed to work hard and never ask any man (especially the fat hairy type who can only come out once a year and pass judgment whilst scarfing cookies and milk) for anything. I pretty much buy it all for me by me thank you very much. Being the kind hearted forgiving type that I am; I will give you one more chance. Please bring me the following for Christmas. Oh and by the way fat man I have been good, very good, the type of good that you don’t want to tell your wife or mother about but that you sit around in a stupor for days remembering good! mm kay? Any of these will suffice and redeem your soul in my eyes: -The magic diet pill (There are magic pills for men whose parts don’t or shouldn’t work, where is mine?) -Shoes and not just any shoes either the ones tha...

Goldilocks is Freezing her TaTas Off

The only thing I enjoy about winter is the fashion. I was made for fall fashion in my humble opinion I adore sweaters, boots, lush coats, beautifully trimmed gloves and hats. I have a full length leather trench style coat made from lambs leather. It is soft lush lovely but lately I have been wanting fur for some reason So off to ebay I bought a soft suede dove Grey leather coat lined in fur. Sadly it was more a Elvis Blue Suede shoes type UGH The fur was lovely and a removable liner so I took it to my tailor to have her fit it in my existing coat. You could tell she was horrified by the request pushed at with her ruler and said " I don't do fur." Fine! How hard could it be it just a liner. I will do it myself I thought Hours later, fingertips bleedy from needlepricks, I model my new sleek leather coat with luxurious fur liner. Unfortunately all it did was make me look as if I had gained 40 pounds Fine! I don't need real fur anyway! Back on the internet sooner then the...
