............ouch

So I fell on my ass in the middle of Target. The floors there are super slippery and I went down like a champ. Annie's Mac and Cheese boxes went flying, the PUR water filter broke part of my fall and the stupid size 7 flats are too tight that I bought. My elbow is super bruised, my hip hurts, and my ankle is slightly twisted. Nice. I had a crap program teaching 7th graders about teen pregnancy only to get one kid saying 'fag fag fag' to another which honestly is a great way to make my blood boil. Ugh! Tweens!

On the upside I'm swamped with prom dress and bridal orders! 20 yards of seersucker showed up for 5 dresses which will be super cute and Renee's prom dress that I'm just making up is going along swimmingly. I cannot wait to bellydance tomorrow night for a cancer survivor group and then hang out with the love of my life afterwards. I'm sure it will make up for my blowout yesterday in Target. Damn you Target and your slippery floors!

Teen pregnancy rate down 2%, but America's still top on the list!

I doubt that teens are going to listen to Bristol Palin in regards to abstinence. Teens will do what they want to do, they are not all going to wait until marriage or even ever want to get married, OR ABLE TO. What is needed is more education in health classes, in gym class, in any class to get the message across in regards to making good decisions. To use birth control, to let them know what their options are. Sooo many schools turn their heads on this and whoa! What happens?! Teen pregnancies! Education FAIL.

On another note, I don't understand why people can't fill out the damn Census. It took me 5 minutes to do, how have people still not done it??? If you haven't, I'll be happy to send you my extra "Queer the Census" hot pink sticker to put on the envelope.

..........................Bad cupcake.

Ok, not terribly bad, but def not the best or even in the top 10 that I've ever had. Went to Troy on Saturday to check out a shop to sell my dresses at. There was a vegan bakery next door.....so of course we had to check it out! But, dissapointment was in my near future.

The building was great looking, all pale turquoise blue and white. Big windows in front with striped awnings over top. We walked in and the chalkboard had all the different pastries, pies, cakes and cupcakes listed. But, there was a pastry display case that had only a small fraction of what the board said they had. I ordered the chocolate peanut butter cupcake. The cake was good but the frosting was crunchy!? Like, they either added in granulated sugar to the frosting, or made thier own powdered sugar from granulated sugar and just did a half ass job at it. There was only 1 kind of tea available, no trash cans to be found anywhere, and overall we were kinda dissapointed and thought of all the ways we could run a better shop. I'm not naming the name of it as it wasn't worth remembering really. Eh. I think I just expect MORE from a vegan bakery. To be such a special niche, it should be such a special place that carries recyclable packaging and cups and more variety. I won't be back.

It's almost his birthday!

Tomorrow is my lovely mustachioed husbands birthday. He'll be 32 and it's going to be very uneventful as we both have to work, I'm broke, and only ONE gift has come in the mail dammit.

I have however calmed down a bit from the whole Hyundai thing. They are still asshats but I'm writing a letter for real. Like it will make a difference! But I'll feel better about it. Jerks.

And I'm off the Fat Smash diet. I was Soooo cranky for 9 days without pasta, sugar, cheese.....yes cheese! I lost what, 2 pounds? Eff that. Back on the carb and cheese train and feeling great. Fat and great. Whatevs.......

I don't remember where I got this photo but this guy is HOT.

Dear Hyundai, your customer service blows.

Long story short, Hyundai customer service friggin' sucks. I don't even own the car anymore. I never will ever ever buy a Hyundai ever again and will tell everyone I know NOT to buy one because your customer service sucks. Your accounting department is full of idiots and for some reason when Subaru sent you the payoff check you, YES YOU HYUNDAI deposited that check into someone else's account. Yes, you did. You admitted this to us on the phone yet, no apology for doing it. No apology for telling us to pay up two months worth of car payments to a car that was already paid off. Resold even. But you treated us like we were non-paying dirt-bags. For hours we were on hold listening to your 'customer service' bullshit.

Try hiring someone who can recognize that when Subaru calls for a payout amount for xyz account that when they get that check that they can figure out it deposits into xyz account. Not another account and then blaming the customer for the issue. Your cars are junk, your service is even worse.

Very Easy Vogue

Well for once they were mostly right! I love Vogue patterns, I do...but sometimes they are totally speaking another language to me and I've been sewing for over 20 years. But this one, Vogue 8446 is coming out super cute! Though I'm wishing when I cut out the pattern as I was scrunched on Lisa's floor that I did a better job of seeing where the eyelet pattern stopped. Well, that's why there's a belt to be added. I'm hoping to wear this on Wednesday so I'll totally post a picture for the whole 6 people who read this. ha!

MEN! Please get with it!

This is why I do my day job, because this makes me sad for the men out there. My man however is a champ on this issue, because well...I talk about it all the time.
