Flying Solo and My Recent Purchases

Today I went driving solo for the first time. Honestly? I was terrified. Driving down the road just thinking about being in the car by myself was enough to bring tears to my eyes--although I didn't all out cry, or else my Dad my have yelled at me or something. And I cannot stand being yelled at in the car. As if I'm not stressed out enough behind the wheel as it is!

He said I didn't do too bad, which was a relief. I messed up when I was pulling out of the parking lot, so that was a bit discouraging. When we actually got to where we needed to be, I pulled into a "Do Not" Entrance. Thank God the parking lot was empty.

As payment for running this errands for my Dad, he bought me a book! (Which in my world, is a VERY good form of payment.)

And since I went shopping again on Sunday, I figured I might as well wrap up all my purchases in a blog entry of more pictures. Who doesn't love pictures?

Ahh, first we have the shoes my mother bought me the other day. I have to admit, they're starting to grow on me. I've been trying to arrange them with outfits, but I've come to the conclusion that I need a couple hot-pink shirts to match the line on the rim of the shoes. I've even matched them with these hot-pink pants I've never worn...hmmm...

Why do my clothes always look so massive? Maybe I'm massive. These shorts actually look cuter when worn. I couldn't believe they were Kids' clothes. They're a size 14½ (Yes, ½!)!! But they were in the Kids' section!!!

My mother hunted around for a pair of these in my size--she practically peed herself when she saw that they were only $4.97! Devyn got a pair of them too--I'm saving mine for school.

All right, let me put it out there--I think this buy was a bit of a mistake. I mean, it looks cute...sort of. It also makes me look like I'm 5. Or pregnant. I don't know. I'm still making up my mind about it. Feel free to contribute some constructive criticism.

I bought this shirt a while ago, but I'm finally feeling up to wearing it. Blue seems to be my theme lately, hehe. I tried to match it with the shoes previously mentioned, but it doesn't work. There was a pink one when I bought this a couple months ago, but I liked the blue one better. *Frustrated* The pink one would have been PERFECT!

This shirt was a bit of a splurge--but I couldn't resist. I thought it was on the bargain rack, but it ended up costing $20, which is not cool. But isn't it ADORABLE? My Dad was once in the Army, after all.

These are the books I've bought over the last couple weeks. I've already finished the top two and the one on the bottom left. They were all really good. The one on bottom right was bought today by my Dad. In case you can't decipher the titles--or what I'd just said (Clockwise from top left):
  • 13 Little Blue Envelopes by Maureen Johnson (Done)
  • The Off Season by Catherine Gilbert Murdock (Done)
  • It's Kind of A Funny Story by Ned Vizzini (Bought today)
  • The Nature of Jade by Deb Caletti (Done)

And that's it. Good night everyone!

PS- This entire post was a SON OF A BITCH to format, so I ended up posting links.

LOVE the shoes! And just FYI, when I started driving solo, as in with just me, myself and I, I found it so exhausting from the stress I was sleeeeeeeepy all the time for the first few weeks! I mean, it didn't feel stressful at the time, but I guess it was.

A Lesson That Needed Re-Learned

Okay. So The Queen learned a very valuable lesson yesterday. You DON'T TALK TO STRANGERS. Obviously, everyone learns this lesson from the age of 5, when your father asks you, "What do you do if some strange man asks you to help him find his lost puppy?" And then, you so enthusiastically respond, "You kick him in his privates and say NOOOOOOOOOO!!" Well, at least that's how I learned. And so when a young woman (couldn't be any older than my older sister) came to my door yesterday and asked questions about when my mother would be home, questions about the other kids in the neighborhood...I did the completely WRONG thing to do. I answered her questions and thought nothing of it. I didn't think her out-of-state license plates were all that threatening. I didn't think that her black (with polka dots) galoshes (similar to these ) were all that threatening. I figured she was just another one of those annoying Youth For Christ advocates asking if I w...

Not the way I say it. Say it with me, LetItGo.

Do yourself a favor. Don't get involved with guys that have girlfriends. A short, messy history, fast forwarded to now... I work with this guy who likes me a lot. I like him a lot. Seems innocent enough, right? Well of course, he has a girlfriend. I say we can be friends, but I cross lines and break rules. He crosses lines and breaks rules. I'm a dirty mistress. I'm trying to end it, now, before anyone else (besides myself) gets hurt (mainly his girlfriend) but he won't... fucking ...LetItGo!
