I'm dying right now for a nice hot cappuccino. The only thing is that I'm not dying for a Starbucks, or even a local barista made cappuccino- right now I would love one of those cheap gas station vending machine pumpkin spice cappuccinos. Those things are very addictive.
This morning we made it out to Meijer and picked up a few items. They still did not have my jalapeno jelly that I needed for my spicy shrimp fettuccine that I wanted to make for dinner tonight. They only vegetable kind of jellies that were green and red pepper.
I did pick up some heads of garlic on sale 5 for $2. I use about a head and a half of garlic a week, so that should get me through the month almost.
We went to the card store and picked up some cards for my Aunt and my Hubby's Grandma for Easter. My labeled Hallmark card wouldn't scan, and I had to wait for the manager to input the bar code into the computer to complete my purchase. I did have a nice talk with the gentleman cashier about how reading books is an expensive habit. The lady in line in front of me was buying Nicorette gum, and the cashier was talking about how expensive reading has become. It's completely true. A good friend of mine in Lansing, who loves to read, has to budget out her book allowance every month. She told me that first time that she got her Kindle she went way over board in purchasing books (because it was such an easy online transaction) that she had read $300 in books in one month. That's a lot of reading!
I was trying to list some items on Ebay.com after splurging on this lot of 50 patterns from the 60's and 70's. I just couldn't help it, they have some really cool patterns. I would like to scan all of the patterns, and edit them in Corel Draw and start a professional costumer website for these clothes. I would like it were the customer could pick out the fabric, pick out the outfit, send in measurements and three weeks later I could send out the costume! That would be so much fun! I would also have send back tailoring if wanted. It would just be so much fun. I really wouldn't charge much of a premium. I was thinking though that I would probably have to have size restrictions, like maybe 4-6-8? I don't know if that would be discriminative, and I don't know what size that most people wear either. That would be so much fun to do though to do.
I really can't tell at this point if its my Little Man or if it's me being grumpy. I am really trying hard to hold on to my happiness today, but all of my buttons are being pushed. I tried to list a few unwanted things on Ebay.com this morning, but my Little Man would not have it and began taking things apart, and taking the stuff around that I needed and just generally acting up. When I took him to the store he was also acting up. It got worse when I took him to the card shop, he was all out grumpy then. When I got home instead of going ape shit on him, I just made him go to his room and let me settle down for a few minutes. I really think that he just has a lot of energy right now and he needs to go out and run around. Maybe it will stop raining for a little while today so that we can go outside and maybe go for a short walk. I think that is what he might need.
Me on the other hand, I need a big cup of caffeine. I went to bed at a reasonable time last night, it's just that I feel so out of it today. I think that after I write this that I need sometime to sit down and relax and maybe read a little bit more of my books.
I filled out my paperwork to extend my unemployment benefits under the UIA. It takes a couple weeks for them to go through. I hope that nothing happens to delay this, those benefits really come in handy! I haven't received any calls or e-mails yet today from the applications that I filled out. I am just going to lay low today on the job search and look again on Wednesday. On Saturday while Hubby was at the haunted sanitarium I did a job search only to come with what I had already seen.
I guess for the rest of the day that I am going to take about an hour to myself and drink some green tea. I have to do a little bit of picking up. I have to figure out what I have to do tonight to substitute jalapeno jelly for something. I might just have to add a whole jalapeno. Then I would like to go for a walk with Little Man around our neighborhood, stop get a vending machine cappuccino, and take it easy. Hubby doesn't come home until after 9 pm tonight. This means I got to find a couple extra fun things to do with Little Man tonight to keep him occupied. I think we will work on his new Spongebob puzzle from Target (those $1 bins are awesome!), color a picture, work on our letters and numbers, play with animals and cars, play with a little music today, and weather permitting blow some bubbles!
Tomorrow is library day, I am going to take him to the small group class that he hasn't been to in some time. I hope that he really likes it. I am sure that he will.
I need to call a couple people that I haven't talked to in a while and see how they are doing. I need to send out the Easter Cards, and of course take it easy and look on the bright side. I need to do not too much, not to little, just right :). Woosah Mama. Woosah.
I hope that if you have read this that you have a blessed day. Thank you for stopping by! And also, if you did read this, please say a little prayer for my family.
