Score of the week

I've been toying with the idea of extending my totally annoying tendency to tell everyone the price of everything I've ever bought here..and so...deal of the week has been born. I figure it can be anything, a rad grocery coupon, cool thrift store find..whatever. Found this gem today at my favorite place St Vincent DePaul thrift store here on the west side. B.J. and I had to skip our movie watching the other night due to a missing remote. Heres my solution, a pretty box to store them in and it cost...drum roll please....$1.95! WOOHOOO

p.s. I am well aware that Wednesday is quite early in the week to definitively lay the smack down on the best deal of the whole week. I suppose next time, and from here on out I'll probably try to do this on a Monday recapping the previous week, but I was so excited about my find and my genius idea (so what if a bazillion other bloggers beat me to the punch on this one) I just couldn't wait..ha!

Valentine

In the tall grass as the day grew late,
I remember the taste in my mouth, metallic and sweet.
I wanted you to kiss me, but you didn't.
You just wrapped your arms around me and pressed your face into my neck and let warm breaths graze my spine.
There were other fearless bold moves but this was the boldest...

It was a good hiding place...and they never found us.

roller fail

so yeah, broken arm...elbow and wrist , cast allows for a perpetual thumbs  up despite my frustration with everything...being left handed is a curse.
with very limited use of my dominant hand I can still manage most things on my own.
such as:
-taking a shower(with the help of an impossibly uncomfortable 'cast bag' over my broken wing that has a water tight seal that squeezes my already swollen arm like a tourniquet and would be a perfect accessory for intravenous drug users.
-getting dressed, totally can do, only requires a ridiculous one handed  hopping sideways wiggle to get my pants up over my chubby hips...real cute.
-earrings in ears, check....necklace?...no go.
-brushing my teeth, got it....shaving my legs..err...not so much....
-deodorant under the left arm check, right arm....ummmm yeah?
seriously..another 5 weeks of this crap?
by the end of this I'm gonna be a furry smelly angry mess....
