Current outfit: Pajamas as usual but let's discuss last night's outfit.
Forever 21 jeans, New Look floral top, Old Navy Cardigan, Zulily triangle earrings, Glowing flash for a head.
Current favorite food: Chocolate covered strawberries. How does anyone eat just one? Royal Red Robin Burger with no mayo. Ugh, so freakin' good.
Current frustration: Snow, if I have to shovel my driveway again this year (we have a really long driveway) I'm going to.... well, curse a lot and claim loudly to hate winter but that's what I've been doing the entire time so I guess not much new to report on that end.
Current triumph: Uh... uh... I'm going to attempt to make crepes today so that might be a triumph (or a complete disaster... I'm not the best at making thin food).
Current sadness: Two things, last week was pretty tough, Arctic died. I absolutely adored that snow leopard, I was making plans to visit C.A.R.E and everything. I really wanted to see him in person. I was really upset, cried for days.
The second sadness is my job didn't work out, it was a very physical job with very strict time limits and I just was not fast enough. I tried my butt off and that's all you can do but I can't wake up be someone who can walk 3.5-4mph hour carrying a heavy satchel and packages so *shrugs*.
Current cuddle partner: The Halo.
Current wishlist: New job. Red Plaid Picnic Dress / Coral and White Polka Dot Maxi Skirt / Black Quilted Jacket / Backpack Pet Carrier (I think my cats would HATE this but I'm curious about it) / Emerald Rectangle Earrings / Modcloth Pink Picnic Skirt / Black Tulle Skirt / Eshakti Alice Floral Dress / Lace Peplum Tank / Eshakti Alison Green Dress / The Lost City of Z / Talking Pictures / Lane Bryant Lace Bra / The Knick Season 1 / Mindless Faith CDs / City Chic Heart Dress
Current plans: Lunch. Trying to figure out what to do next. Also Jason and I had started to plan a trip for my Birthday, I had thought about canceling since I had to quit my job but we've decided to go along with the planning. You only live once right? So I'm thinking Vegas and San Diego Zoo! I'm excited for that.

Hello, it is me, the sense maker. Not to be confused with the fresh maker, those things are full of life, P.S - his suit looked ridiculous (Old, Mentos Commercial, for those who do not get the reference).
So, yes, I AM starting another sentence in this semi-secretive blog (ninja blog) with "so". You know what I'm going to say next... I regret... yes, you got it *pats head*. I'd give you a lollipop but I ate them all :( I lie, I have no lollipops, anyone have a lollipop? I'll play a guessing game for a lollipop! SO, I had to post because I'm so excited *skips in place while clapping* I went thrifting today! Now, I've been in a thrift store before but never had left with a successful bounty. I was on a mission to find jeans, specifically dark wash jeans because I only had one lowly pair of jeans prior to my outing and I pretty much hate the way I look in them. I also didn't want to have drag my boyfriend along and end up spending $40-$60 on one pair of jeans. A little side note, I don't really love wearing pants/jeans, but is easier to climb on things (like peoples couches or fences outside Government buildings) when your legs are covered. It is just a little thing I've noticed, unless you don't mind showing your butt, which you probably don't because you probably have a nice one. Oh yeah, there she is cheese creep louise. I'm totally kidding, don't get creeped out and think I'm hitting on you and then never read my ninja blog again.
I also found a great three quarter length white eyelet skirt, my ass has outgrown my old eyelet skirt so I needed a replacement model. I'm quite pleased with my purchases, both of the jeans were $7.25 and the skirt was $5.99. I tried on a black blazer that I liked but it was a bit snug in the arms, it also didn't button around my boobs but they have some agreement that I'm not allowed to have jackets fit around them. Back about jeans shopping though, does anyone else get major anxiety at the prospect of going to look for jeans? I absolutely hate trying on jeans and as a plus sized lady, I've noticed that the sizes/fit of jeans seem to vary big time, even at the same store. I literally have pants ranging from 4 different sizes and every single one have a drastically different fit. Part of the reason I am so chipper today is because I tried on jeans, they all fit, and the ones that fit best are the smallest size I can currently wear. Another one of my jean problems is, I always want the expensive jeans, always. Also, I am fond of the back flap pockets because I have no ass and I very rarely find a pair under $50.00. Back flap pockets come at a price it seems, that's what she said. Sweet baby hey-zeus, how many times can I mention ass in one post? But anywho I'm pleased with the jeans I found, they are a bit snug in the waist but all of my other pants are too loose so give and take. I actually went to two separate thrift stores, I preferred the first one which is odd because the second one was huge, like Mormon church huge.
Okay, maybe it wasn't quite this big but everything was arranged by color and somewhat type of clothing but not by size, I found it a bit daunting searching through every single thing. I think it makes more sense to arrange by size and type of clothing but that is just me.
I also organized my closet a little and pissed off Halo in the process because every tank top strap somehow ended up on his face... I don't know how that happened. I'm trying to come up with outfit ideas for my upcoming vacay and it is a large task because I have to account for something like 15 outfits. Anyone have any vacation outfit ideas for someone who doesn't show their legs or arms? I'm quite proud of myself though, I did almost everything I planned to do today, that rarely happens in slacker land.
'The Debt' arrived in the mail from Netflix today. I am really looking forward to watching it.
I have to share THIS post from Margaret Cho, it is really is an amazing read and honestly had me in tears.
Oh, I almost forgot, my blog turns one year old on the 19th! Even though my blog is in ninja mode I plan on celebrating the occasion with a bottle of wine. "You don't like wine ninja blog? Oh that's ok, it won't go to waste." I sound like an alcoholic but I'm really not, I drink maybe once a month (if that) but don't tell anyone, I need some excuse for this behavior.
