sick and depressed

Sitting at home looking out at the lovely sunny day, no motivation to go out and enjoy the day. One because I'm still not feeling well, I almost passed out at work on Saturday cuz I was so dizzy, I just about fell off my chair a couple of times and was walking and did a drunken stuble into the table! Two because if I go out I will possibly spend the money that I don't have. I already bought a fabulous pair of shoes to make myself feel better and I can't afford to spend anymore.
I am still looking for a full time job but I again don't have a lot of motivation for it. urgh I hate this

I found out that a good friend from high school passed away a few weeks ago and have been in shock and memories have been popping up. He was a fantastic person and a great friend to have. The main memory that keeps popping up is a group of us sitting in his basement watching a movie eating Ketchup chips and then going for a walk in the really windy summer evening.

I was also thinking about the person I was just after high school, how happy-go-lucky I was, how I went out with my friends all the time, how I went to concerts with them and was having a great time. Where did all that go?? I know that we all grow up and grow apart but i don't know how it happened or why you lose touch with people. It's not like there were fights or anamosity between us we just stopped hanging out and talking all the time.

I hope one good thing that will come of this is that I get that piece of me back and I keep in touch with the friends I have now and the friends I have reconnected with.

Skinny jeans with a baggy butt??

I was driving out to Pitt Meadows for my high school reunion and saw the strangest sight..a guy wearing skinny jeans with a baggy butt and I mean baggy, the waistband was halfway down his ass. Was he trying to do 2 trends at once..the hipster and the gangster?? If so I don't think it's working. I wanted to stop the car and offer to get him a belt!

I went out to Old Navy and Superstore the other day, they are my 2 favourite cheap stores..I can get tons of trendy clothes at really good prices, I buy a lot of clothes so it helps when I can buy a bunch for way less. I can't help myself when it comes to dresses, that's all I look at, I bought 3 this time, although I do have to say 2 of them are very basic and will work for a couple of years, the other one is just fun. I have a problem and need to get some kind of treatment for it!

Went to the beach on Wednesday and burnt my legs, I wanted to get at least a bit of sun on them considering I have white, white, white legs that never tan when my upper half tans super easy. I was happy to get the burn even though it did make sitting and standing a bit difficult for a couple of days. I looked at them the next day and realized my mistake....I have a big white spot on my knees!! I guess I have some rough spots on my knees!! Long dresses have been the staple since then lol.

Watched To Have and Have Not last night, Lauren Bacalls first film and the movie where she and Humphrey Bogart fell in love. I have never seen it the full way through and didn't realize that Lauren sang in it, it's a great movie and made me wonder why I haven't been watching TCM like I used to. I am a big junkie of classic film, dramas and musicals and TCM fills my needs.

Seriously...bike shorts???

So I just read an article in Loulou magazine about how to wear bike shorts!! I understand and love leggings but I don't think I can ever get behind bike shorts again. I remember wearing bike shorts under my navy blue baby doll dress..and navy shoes..when I had my grad ceremony for grade 7 (I was very into matching at that time). I know the 80's/early 90's are back but seriously bike shorts are 1 thing I thought I would never have to think about again.

I finally found a jean jacket, after a few weeks of searching..who would think that it would be that hard to find a jean jacket!! H&M faded jean jacket $40.

We are in the middle of a heat wave is great but damn it can get hot! Not that I'm complaining. Summer fashions are a funny crazy mix, I have seen some interesting sites walking down Robson and I expect them to get even more interesting as the summer goes on. One thing about working on the weekend is I get to see who is out and about during the week. How is it that there are soo many people out on a weekday..don't you have to work?? What do you do for a living that you can be out on the weekday and shopping? I am but I sure can't afford to be shopping and I stick to stores I can afford but you shop in the 'expensive' stores...are you just a really good saver (unlike me)? Do we really have tons of tourists wandering the streets? I know the cruise ships drop 2000 plus people every day, depending on which ships are docked but wow way too many peoples.
