I have been forgetting about the bathhouse! today was yet another day 1 for me LOL

I can't begin to imagine how much CSC I'd have if I never missed a day :P

I haven't looked through previous collections in a while. :/ I'm finding myself not needing either one of the items. They're pretty, I'd like them, but I'm not feeling the mandatory compulsion to buy them.

I forget to do the bathhouse. XD There's a bunch of real life stuff I want. And I'm somewhat in debt right now. So I'm backing off the spending. Even though I do need to replenish my skincare stuff but that's going to run me $100. :/ Or roughly that much. But I'm not that much in debt. It's something I can pay off by the end of the year. But other expenses keep popping up. I was doing well but then doctor bills...that took everything I had and then some plus my car insurance. And I go to the dentist next week. Next month my dues are due for the association I am a part of. So I don't really have the extra funds and I don't want to give up my boxycharm, netflix, and amazon prime. Then xmas is popping up so I have to get xmas gifts.

have to admit, one of the reasons i like "living away from relatives" is christmas holidays! hahahaaa sounds like you're doing good though. it's HARD to save. my girl thought she was going to pay off her credit card this next month, till she had to take the dog to the vet PLUS she threw her back out. so SHE had to go to the doctor. heh. it's that one step forward, 2 steps back syndrome.

lol

Oh gosh. That's horrible! Back pain is no fun! I'm still having some back pain. I really need to get ready to go out. Need to go to the bank. And the post office but will probably just go to the bank. Need to put paycheck in and get $50 in cash. Gem and Mineral Show is this weekend over at the Augusta Expo. It's so weird calling it that...I don't know why they renamed it. It used to be called Expoland. And I still want to call it that.

I found that I have one of the Sept 2017 collection items on my wishlist - I kindof need it for wardrobe too... so ... 2 collections? LOL it's hard to be stingy with all these pretty things...

aww darn poor girl! sorry to hear she's having back trouble - that can really lay you flat for a while :c I know what you mean about debt - mine isn't too terrible, but every time I think that credit card is almost paid off there's something else that comes up

hahahaa that's like an airport when i was a kid. they changed the name about 20 something years ago, but in my head i still call it the old name :D

and yah, back pain is NO FUN. the boy has had some serious stuff going on with his. but the girls wasn't as bad. just a shot and meds and she's doing ok. turns out it runs in our family, so it's something the kids need to look out for (especially since they get it from both sides of the family)

HAVE FUN!!!

:( oh man. i would SO Love to go to a gem and mineral show. heh. of course now. i couldn't walk around. lol (old sucks!) but i really missed doing those type of things.

HAVE A GREAT DAY!!

, lol that's how my life is. hahahaaa, i admit, my girl is smarter than i am. and i'm really proud of that too :D

LOL are you saying she wouldn't be tempted by imaginary internet shinies and pretties like me? :D

lol. You're going to have me go looking at the previous years collections. XD

lol. I think they changed the name in the past 10 years? Back pain that runs in the family sucks. It happens in mine too but only on the one side. Heart and kidney problems run on my mom's side. Although my dad does have a heart murmur. But that's the only heart condition I know of on his side of the family.

On the bright side, it is kinda a small space to walk around in. But my mom and I can easily spend a few hours in there looking. I'm also going to be picking up some things there to send to my happy mail person for this month since it is rock month. I'll be able to buy more there than if I went to The Crystal Connection in Charlottesville.

oh yeah. lol it's a great place for 'gifty goodies' :D

and yah. no fun at all.

, LOL no she wouldn't!! i'm proud of her for it, but man. i have NO idea where she got it from. i have always sworn she's my AUNTS kid. lol she is a LOT like her. :D (well. it's HER great aunt) but they really have similar personalities :D (even though, every once in a while, she does something that is SO Me) hahahaa her moms daughter for sure. :D

It is! Especially for gifties for the self. XD I'll basically have $100 to spend...but I'll more than likely end up charging stuff at the one vendor because she has really nifty stuff. I got my bat and moon pendant from her.

oh how excellent!!

:( i've been wanting to go to someplace like that for a citrine bracelet. i figure i'll break down and get from etsy. (when i have money. lol)

I could look for one there? Is there a particular type of citrine bracelet or one of the ones that's on a stretchy chord that's just a bunch of citrine on it that's been tumbled? I'm not sure if i've seen citrine like that or not. I haven't really paid attention to those types of bracelets in a long time. I just know there are a lot more now than what there used to be.

yah a stretchy one (man size) i like polished, but a tumbled would be ok. especially if you found one that was only 10$ or something like that. (? 8-15$?)

if you found one, i will send you the money, and an envelope for ya to send it to me. but ONLY if you happen to come across one. NO Extra Looking just for me! :D

HUGS and thanks.

Oh wow that's a lot! :D Lol I don't blame you. Probably would be cheaper for you to come over here and cook for me. ❤

LOL YAH! (if i just wasn't so old, i would SO find a way down there and do it for ya!) :D

hahahaa now i don't have the energy to travel. ESPECIALLY on a plane. just going through everything to get ON the plane is such a drag! :D

Lol yeah they put you through the wringer just to get on a plane now. :D That and either I've gotten taller or they've jammed the seats further together to where you don't have any hip or leg room lol.

ha. they've jammed the seats closer to each other. i remember it being on the news. .

trying to get more people in there.

lol i should get my daughter to take me!! her and boy made it in 24 hrs. :D

Speaking of planes. Every time Eric and I have to fly anywhere, I always comment to him while waiting our turn through the TSA line "I miss the days where we didn't have to do this" haha! Though when we flew to and from the west coast, they didn't have us take anything out of our bags or take off our shoes. It was nice, so it went a bit faster. I wonder when that changed and if it's going to stay that way. Still I do miss the old days where we just got the ticket, checked bags (if needed) and went to the gate.

Really? :( No wonder lol. I was like I must have gotten fatter or the seats have shrunk lol. :P

Seats are still the same, small and not enough room. My parents told me, they are going to start going first class from now on, since they are older and don't want to deal with smaller seats. I'm like "do it! I'll probably do the same when I'm older"
