Did I have something to say?

I opened my lj client, and had to rush to the bathroom to make sure Dorian wasn’t killing Malachai in the tub (for all his shrieking, it was because Dor wouldn’t let him near the faucet…) and came back, and couldn’t remember.

I need to do something with my hair. I am thinking of chopping it off again. And bleaching it fuck out of it. Which will of course turn my hair this brassy-orange colour. I actually like it. However, I know the Fishie likes my hair somewhat long, and darker red. I guess it doesn’t matter. Every time I take a pair of scissors to it I can never decide how short to cut it anyway, pull it back up into a pony and leave it be.

I started this post the other day. Damn.

Ok, so I still am at a loss of what to do with my hair.

Monday we went shopping. Spent most of our spending money for the next 2 weeks, but it was fun, and I think the day was enjoyed by all. We went to Coral Square mall.

We went to the Disney store and I bought two new cd’s for the car, this one links to Vol 3, and we also got Vol. 2. Had I been paying closer attention, I’d have looked for Vol 1 instead lol They also had mugs buy one bet one free, so I got this awful shade of pink one for me, but it has Eeyore on the handle, and I got one for my dad with Grumpy. I think his was dark blue. Impulse buys all of it, but well worth it.

Then we went to Hot Topic and perused the sale rack, but alas, it was all underpants. Maybe next time. Dorian wanted a TMNT shirt, which they only had in adult Large and XL (fuckers!) and so we went to…

Animation! The boy picked out a Spiderman button-up and shorts et. Too cute, looking like his daddy when he wears it. Can you believe I had to buy it in a 4T??? I tried to put a size 2T shorts on him that morning and they didn’t fit. My baby is growing up way too fast for the likes of me. I cannot believe he will be 4 in a few months. Ok, 6 months.

Hm… We also went to Old Navy to browse their clearance racks, b/c I made the throw out a pair of nasty old pants with holes on the condition he could get a nice shiny new pair of pants. And so he did. He didn’t find anything on clearance, but he did see a pair he liked, so for the first, and probably last time, we bought something at Old Navy not on dirt-cheap sale. I dug around on the girlie side, and found nothing.

Oh, and Suncoast. Dor got another TMNT action figure, Chai got… something and Fishie got Fangoria magazine. I told him 7$ now and then is n big deal, but if he is going to be buying it every month, to just get a subscription and save a little lol

I stopped in Cartoon Cuts on the way out b/c they were having a 20% off sale on hair stuff over 32 oz. So I bought some shampoo & conditioner. I usually don’t get stuff with extra crap and SLS and all in it, but it isn’t a hard & fast rule, and I really like the BedHead line, I just usually wont pay their ridiculous prices.

We also went to Office max and got new printer ink, and to Sams Club for photo paper, where I also impulsively bought new little kid paintbrushes and tempera paint. The boys have so much fun painting, I really should let them do it more often. It is just so messy. I need a maid!

We took my mom, dad and sister out to dinner at TGIFridays and then went bowling. Much fun was had, as always. I think next money we will work on my Phoenix (hm, if I/we don’t forget again. last time we made plans it was 8 or 9 PM before either of us remembered and by then I wasn’t up to it) which means no bowling for a bit.

Oh, and Fish got his stitches out before dinner as well. So he can eat again soon. Maybe. *ducks*

We went to the food store somewhere in there too…. Maybe that was Tuesday morning. Must have been. I got a metric ton of fruit. Usually I don?t go all out on the fruit, but it all smelled so yummy. Much have Michael cut the watermelon and cantaloupe, and I need to clean the strawberries, and blueber
ries. And I got some precut with pineapple and other yummies to eat. Oh, and a bag of apples so I can make some more apple bread. My mom loved it and asked for more.

I am doing laundry today. I let it sneak up on me. And must clean. It looks like the garbage monster moved into our apartment. Toys are everywhere, trash is in trash bags, but there’s about 3 of them around and about. Must mop….. ew, I hate mopping. And I want to scrub the shower out b/c it’s getting funky. Ok, Fish has to scrub the shower out b/c it’s getting funky b/c I don’t do that lol

What I’d really like to do is get everything put away or thrown away and have merry maids come for half the day and do all the scrubbing.

Fucker, fuck off.

is correct, when it rains, it pours. To copy from his journal:

Of course….

As always, just when we think we are finally getting ahead, something happens.

I have had a fantastic couple of weeks that would culminate in a matching paycheck on Friday. So when I get home to pick up the family, it struck. I put the car in park so we could put the kids in and it started going backwards. Apparently something broke in between our transmission shifter in the passenger compartment and the actual transmission so the car is stuck in reverse. No shifting whatsoever. Major suckage.

So we need to get up butt early to call the dealership and find out if it is still under warrantee (prolly not) and see about getting the car towed to either the dealership or our friend who is a mechanic (or his recommended place of repair) and there goes that check. The downside is that it is only Tuesday night and I don’t get paid until Friday. This could be an issue…

So yah. Now it sucked before no one was buying my auctions or PJS stuff. Now it REALLY sucks.

Or just paypal me some cash at azxure@pjserendipity.com

This will either be a couple of hundred dollars nothing (that being literally the connection from the gear shift to the tranny) or a 1400 dollar job, that being a whole new tranny.

I am sick and fucking tired of putting new trannys in cars. The last one I did that to I got rid of two weeks later and bought the Mazda. I *like* my Mazda. My dad’s Mazda we had for 11 years, and the fucker is *still* running. We sold it, but the guy who bought it is still driving it.

At least it isn’t a stick. Good thing I was too cheap to buy one. It would have been like, 1200 dollars more b/c they didn’t have any in and would have had to order it.

And here I thought we could put money away. Silly me.

come buy my stuff

Happy Valentines Day! Don?t celebrate V-Day? That?s ok, I have a little something for everyone this month.

Due to a serious lack of interest in the PJS gift baskets, I have decided to stop selling them. ?Wait a minute, that?s what we do!? Well, I have decided to stop focusing so much energy on a failing product, and focus more on our thriving products.

If you are interested in our back stock, please check out our Clearance pages. http://www.pjserendipity.com/xcart/customer/home.php?cat=29 Right now, we have tons of baskets at up to 60% off, lots of Flowerpot votives that just didn?t sell like I expected them to at the show in December (none damaged, just taking up valuable space). I?ve also got a triple on clearance, as well as some votives priced individually. The votives are priced to include shipping, there will be no additional shipping if you order only those.

Our Sweet Dreams & Day Dreams lotions are also in our Clearance section. These are fantastic lotions, and a steal at 30% off.

Shipping on all of our products will now be calculated this way:

FedEx Canadian Ground $5.00 plus 3% of your total order
FedEx Home Delivery (national) $5.00 PLUS 3% of your total order
FedEx Ground Delivery (national) $5.00 PLUS 3% of your total order
UPS Ground (national) $5.00 PLUS 3% of your total order
UPS Standard (national) $5.00 PLUS 3% of your total order
USPS Priority (national) $2.85 PLUS 3% of your total order

We felt this was the most cost-effective way to ship everything without overcharging or undercharging across the board.

Please don?t forget to use our Valentines Day coupon ?V@13N71N35? for $10.00 off of any order over $ 35.00. Offer expired Feb/14/2004.

Once we get all of our back-stocked items sold, we will be putting in a major order with Pretty baby. If there is anything you would like to see PJS carry, please email me and let me know.

Thanks for signing up with us, and please remember us for your gift giving and personal needs.

i was gonna post about it last night, but fuck it, i had other things to do

Fish went to the mall after work (10 pm folks) and bought me Channukah gifties! He got me a Jack Skelington bag from Hot Tapioca and the Fairly Odd Parents game for PS2. We were going to get it for the computer (20$ less and better graphics) but I will probably play it more on the PS2 ONLY because it is right next to the main TV, so if the kidlets are chilling with a movie, I can play and be in the same room.

my brother slept over last night, so I am going to go make pancakes for breakki.

My entire site cart was deleted last night. I freaked the fuck out. Normally I’d be like, ok, whatever, BUT b/c I have the trade show on Sunday, I have online only coupons I am giving out. Exactly. MUST HAVE THE CART FUNCTIONAL!!

So I was up till like, 2 AM (with intermittent breaks) fixing the damn thing. Thank the gods something possessed me that morning and told me to back up the products & graphics. If only it had told me to back up the DB. Yep, I lost everything. All the people who were signed up for the newsletter. All the contest entries (ok, I have those in my email, but their reg. is gone gone gone)

So I put up a notice asking people to please understand and to re-reg. Maybe they will.

Must go cook.

at my mama’s house

b/c I have to inventory. but I can only inventory half my stuff. why? because the baskets, ribbon & such are a) really fucking heavy and b) hard to inventory. so I suppose as I unpack them, I will jot down how many I have.

I am also printing out my coupon flier thingies I will have sitting on the table. FHer printer is uber-slow. *sigh* Why am I not printing them out on my kick ass printer at home you ask? Why, because our desk is not set up yet and the printer is on the floor. It’s ok tho.

I also fixed my shopping cart so I could use coupons past 2003 (pain in the ass editing of tpl files & php files) but it is set up to be a =10 now, so I have coupons till 2013 at the moment.

I FedEx’d a package last Monday, and while it originally had to be there by Sunday, now it has to be there by Friday. It says Friday on the tracking as the estimated day of arrival, so lets hope it shows Friday morning!

La la la….

I’m bored. Chai want’s to nap, but wont. I wish these would hurry & finish printing so we could go home.

I have to do my holiday cards still. Maybe I will have time today. We got so much more put away, and it’s like it never ends.
