I am in the process of looking for a different job. It's not that the job I have currently is bad, it's just I don't even know if it's bad. I haven't worked a single day at the hotel ballroom. This is where we find out that it was too good to be true. The problem with my job is that the hours are completely random and they only let you know a day or two before hand and it's all done by texting. They send out a mass text to all of us servers saying they need servers from this time until that time and whoever texts back, get's the work. Not to be completely racist but it's a lot like the stereotypical cluster of Mexicans that wait in a particular spot for people to drive by and request manual labor jobs except digital. I haven't been able to work any of the times that they've texted me about because of school. They have my availability and they told me that it would be okay but so far none of the opportunities have been at night. They've been mornings and afternoons. Long story short, I'm trying to find myself something that will be a little more stable.

I don't know how it happened but the past couple days I've just been looking at things that I know I'll never be able to own. Actually, I do know how it happened. Jessica asked me what I wanted for my birthday and besides the fact that it's way too early to be thinking about that, I also just have no idea what I want. So to answer her question I started looking and there are a lot of cool things in this world. Things that are out of my price range. Out of any normal person's price range.

I'm not exactly sure when I'll ever be able to afford a dress that is nearly 300 dollars but this dress is just begging to be on my body.

I've started to like dresses a lot more these days. Random fyi about me because when I was little, of course I loved dresses and then I entered that phase where I refused to wear them and I wanted to be like Sarah and get to wear pants to church but noooo, that's not 'appropriate'. Oh well, I guess my femininity is coming back and I need to go ahead and get rich fast (ha!) so I can buy dresses like this.

 Of course if you're getting new dresses, you need to get new shoes. I'm a pro at that. Alas, shoes are also expensive. Ever since I saw Ashleigh's shoes I've been secretly (or not so secretly) looking for shoes just like them because obviously I'm just turning into an Ashleigh clone. 

This is all just turning into a long list of 'things Lisa has locked away in a 'once you have money' folder on her computer. Trust me, you do not want to see the section of that folder that's dedicated to kitchen appliances.

Let's get a little more realistic though, shall we?
tea.
tea.
and more tea.

No, I don't go through a whole pot of tea by myself while working on homework, that shouldn't be humanly possible and it's incredible rude of you to know that I'm drinking tea right now as I type this and that my tea shelf is beginning to overflow. There can never be enough tea.

I honestly don't have a lot of other wants. Unless we're talking ear cuffs.

 

 All of which can be found at one of my favorite etsy shops.

Heck, let's just link to my favorites on etsy anyway, huh?

Honestly, all this searching and there was only one thing I really want. Books. Terry Pratchett has a new book out, Dodger.

Now I'm depressed because I'm thinking about Terry Pratchett. I just watched the documentary he made last year on assisted death and I just have to say I'm going to miss him so much. He's made life so enjoyable and given me a world to hide in when things get bad. I respect his decision but it still doesn't mean I won't weep profusely when he buys his plane ticket to Switzerland.

In case you wanted to learn more about it, the full documentary is on youtube. 

And now I've gone and made myself sad.
