distractions

I definitely didn't need any more distractions. But I am very glad to know about this new one.

I also didn't need any more skirts, but I just can't pass up Goodwill, apparently.

Time to start homework.

After some Chicken Nuggets, maybe.

my best buy? perhaps...

Also I've decided that I would like a new camera which is unfortunate because I am trying to save money FOR Fiji. But I need to take good pictures IN Fiji, right?

If this happens.. I have to decide if I want to rely on my little camera (which I like but has low megapixel and zoom) for a pocket camera and get a camera with a big zoom, fancy features, and big megapixels. Or "replace" my pocket sized camera with this camera or camera or camera with big megapixels and a good zoom.

So far I am leaning toward this camera or this camera.

In case you were curious.

hamaca

You can't see it in this picture, but our hammocks are hanging from a hook put in the wall, specifically for hammocks (which is probably a good thing since we decided to double bunk our hammocks).

I want hooks in my wall that are for my hammock (isn't it pretty and wonderful?). I asked Dick's Sporting Goods if they had one and they thought I was crazy. I tried to explain that having a hammock hook in Mexico was like having a window in your house. You know, common and necessary.

Sarah would understand. Right, Sarah? (She's my Mexican roommate. She is also all things non-white. The "United Nations" as she would tell you.)

So... hammock hooks? In the walls? Is it possible on US soil?

craiggy and will

Craigslist and Goodwill.

I need a truck for all of the things I want to buy. I also need money for all of the things I want to buy.

So maybe it works out.

stories from another bux

I didn't change Buxes.

But I've now worked at three different Buxes (four counting mine). It was my second time working at the one I worked at today. It reminded me of better days when our manager was fun and knew what he was doing.

Stories

1st- I saw one of my regulars. Which is pretty amazing considering our Bux is open now and this one happens to be about 30 minutes from it. She gasped and whispered something about "working here now." I assured her that I was just helping out and she seemed relieved which made me feel good. She is so flighty and one of my very favorites. (I have quite a few, and that is okay).

2nd- I saw someone that I met over a year ago. It took me awhile to figure out how I knew him (because I only met him that one time, in a huge group of people). The world is kind of small but also huge, of course.

3rd- Two easter dressed children came in

and I asked them if they had animals in their house this morning (the easter bunny, of course.) This is the conversation that followed.

Children: Animals ate our candy.

Me looking to mom for interpretation

Mom: The easter bunny forgot to shut the gate so when they went to search for their eggs and candy it was half eaten and all over the place.

Me (laughing): I'm sorry I find it so funny. I know it probably isn't to you but what a hilarious story.

Mom: No, I know it is funny but we have to get some more candy, now.

Sidenote: The "3rd" story reminded me of how mean (funny) my parents are. Also found in some of these Christmas stories. I used to find eggs by my pillow and be SO MAD I didn't wake up to see the easter bunny.

Here's a question for "all" my readers: How did you picture the Easter Bunny? As an actual bunny? Or a human in a bunny costume? I'm pretty sure I pictured the easter bunny a "costumed bunny" which now seems really weird to me that I wasn't extremely CREEPED out and that I was okay with this costumed bunny roaming around my house, placing boiled eggs around.

ALSO: Easter is not a good day to be late to church. I'll try to remember this around Christmas time, too.
