So I’ve had a productive day. You know that wall I’ve been annoyed with the entire time I’ve lived here? ‘course you don’t. you’re the internet.. anyway, it’s just a big wall with no reason to be there, but I rent and also, I’m broke, so home improvement reno’s are a no-go unless they are free/cheap and have no effect on the structure.
well, a hole will do. It lets a ton more light in, and I didn’t have to cut any studs, or move any wires. Drywall only, nothing structural.. I got a little excited about it. One good afternoon has got the hole cut, refitted with the extra drywall scraps to close up the gaps, and is ready for plaster, paint and pretty shelving.
I am the handiest.

Lovely stuff!
why thank you lazydad!
ps, your blog is not boring. its detailing the day to day shuffle, and its fantastic.
they never do that. its usually me, and this is like, the second time this month.
is the world ending?
I went nuts on the apartment, instead of the potatoes.. I’m feeling much better about this. not only do i have more room in the fridge due to having leftovers for lunch, but i have a cleaner apartment in the time it would have taken me to make such a spectacular meal, for only me myself and I.
I cleaned the windowsills (among all the other things i cleaned). I had no idea they were dirty.. They were. They really really were. ew.

I’ve decided I’m going to attempt a healthy version of poutine.. Baked potato wedges, light cheese, and less gravy than my usual ridiculous amount.
of course once I prepare this, I’ll likely forgo the healthy route, and add more cheese, and salt, and gravy, but at least I’ll attempt it in the first place…
or I’ll just have the last of the leftover tuna noodle casserole.
Basically half my thought processes of the day revolve around food.

I love your blog. it’s one of the many plus size fashion blogs I follow that remind me that curvy and frumpy do NOT have to go hand in hand.. I look sheek, thanks to all the inspiration from the beauties on this page… I was wondering if you wouldn’t mind promoting some of my handmade jewelry..? I’ve got some big bold pieces that go great with big bold curves, and everything is one of a kind. Take a look at www.etsy.com/shop/aleathabean for more, Stay beautiful everyone! I promise I’ll submit some of my own outfits once the warmer weather comes around! :)
considering the time (after 1 am here), bringing your laptop to bed is a bad idea.

I’m Broke. This is a general feeling for a lot of people these days. Most of us are broke. It’s unfortunate, but a reality.
I’ve been with my phone/cable/net provider since I got my own number. Like I said, I’m broke, so I called and asked the nice lady on the other end of the line “is there any way I can reduce my bill? Because I am dirt poor” and like a magic operating fairy, she pulled up my account and told me about 5 different options. Once we worked out exactly whats best for me and what I use, and what’s going to waste, she transferred me to what she called a “customer loyalty representative” (only after thanking me, and wishing me a nice day) who gave me further discounts for staying with the company and paying my bill every month… like I thought everyone was supposed to do.
In the end, there’s no harm in asking, and because I did, They’ve pushed my bill down by about 40 dollars a month.
WOOT WOOT!

And of course I say this with vast amounts of sarcasm.
Know what I did this month? I checked my bank account over and over again wondering “why the hell hasn’t the rent come out yet?”
Well folks.. it’s because I didn’t give her the cheque yet.
Yup, smartest person.
