A few weeks ago I had bought two pairs of capris, one light wash blue denim (to wear with my t-shirts) and one white (to wear with my shirts that I wear with my white pants), neither fit (even though they are both in my size they were both too small). So I returned them and bought two dresses.
This one was on clearance. Originally $79.99 it was marked down to $59.99 and then it was an additional $30 off which brought it down to $29.99.
This one is brand new (they just got it in last week) and was regular price: $79.99.
Together they came to over $140 but I had over $40 in store credit then there was an in-store coupon for 40% off which brought my total down to $39.39!

I haven't been working out like I said I would; I'm just fucking lazy. But I've gotten so fucking tired of being so fucking fat and getting winded so fucking quickly and while doing simple things like dressing. So I decided to just get up in the mornings and start working out.
I really want to walk outside (want to eventually start running so I can run a 5k or half-marathon for my forty-fifth birthday) but I get winded so quickly that I'm embarrassed to do so outside. So I found my workout DVD and got up this morning (thirty minutes earlier than I wanted because I had to pee really bad). Only problem is I didn't even make it through the warm up part. Of course I realize that's not what this is about; it's about the fact that I actually did it.
I was breathing really hard and just started to sweat. Plus it was really hurting my hips (I realize that means I should have kept going but I was so winded I started coughing (from my mouth getting so dry) and was afraid I'd puke).
I plan on getting up on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays until I can get through the whole two mile workout then I'll add Thursdays and after a month or so I'll add Tuesdays.
I'd really like to be down a size or two by Halloween (I'm going as female!Danny Williams from Hawaii Five-0) but don't think that will happen. And just like this isn't about how far I get in my workout it isn't about what size I wear; it's about being healthy. Sure a smaller size is healthier and that's the ultimate goal: being healthy.

Back story: I work in the account receivables department at the corporate level for a chain of gift shops. My job consists of me going through the paperwork the stores send in each week and compare it to what the computer says they did in sales and fix any issues that need fixing.
There are two very important things each store has to send in each week: their deposit slips and the slip that prints out when they close for the day. A few of my stores don't go to the bank themselves and have an armored car pick the deposits up for them. Only one of my stores refuses to send the deposit log in the correct envelope as requested.
In fact they used to send it in the envelope for accounts payable or just tossed into the UPS package. I finally got them to rubber band it to their other AR paperwork. But the other teams (there are three teams of three people who open the packages each week and we take turns) didn't know what it was and wouldn't separate it for me. I did manage to get them to put it in an envelope only they don't put it in the one labeled 'Deposit Slips'. I've asked them several times to please do so.
Then last week, and this, I found their paperwork misfiled on my desk because they were using envelopes for the wrong store. I sent them this email:
Then I got this email from the store:
When I sent her the original email I CC'd my supervisor and her DM. When she replied, she only sent it to me. So when I replied back I CC'd my supervisor and her DM again telling her that she does not put her deposit log into a deposit slip envelope and to please do so from now on.
My supervisor replied and told me to go through her whenever I need to contact this store from now on.
But seriously, who thinks it's okay to talk to someone like that? Especially when I was extremely polite in my email.

Tonight was my daughter's farewell dinner; we're taking her to college in exactly one week. We went to Olive Garden. I ended up sitting between my parents with my ex-in-laws sitting across from me.
My dad and my ex-father-in-law were talking and I was only half listening mostly because of how loud it was. But I did hear my dad say (they were talking about Mom and my daughter arguing), "…the two people I care the most about…" It broke my heart that my brother and I are not important to my father.

I just got home from taking my daughter to college. Not sure how I feel about that.
It has become obvious that the only person my daughter cares anything about is my father. Every time my mother and I made any kind of suggestion about things to get for her room or where to put things we got attitude. But if my father made the same suggestion it was suddenly one of the best ideas ever.
I didn't really do much, she didn't have all that much to move in, and yet I'm exhausted and my feet are killing me.
I really wish I didn't have to go to work tomorrow.
Also, everyone was angry at everyone else and they all kept talking over me and even when they didn't they didn't listen to what I was saying

I was having a day (I got scolded twice for things I've been doing for the longest time) and decided to do something to cheer myself.
I went to see Guardians of the Galaxy. And it was GLORIOUS! The commercials do not do it justice. Not by a long shot.
Now, I know absolutely nothing about this universe. I had never even heard about the Guardians until commercials for this started airing. Could someone out there please inform me about them? Particularly if Pete's mom knew his father was an alien. And do we know who his father is? Or should that be something I learn from future movies? Also, as someone on my flist said: why'd they have to kill Groot? But at least Rocket was able to rescue a sprout so we have a baby Groot.

For the second week in a row I have found your RCOs in envelopes for another store. Please check your supply and remove any envelopes with a different store number on them and send them in your packet next week. Also, please put your deposit log in a Deposit Slip envelope.
Thank you,

Then I got this email from the store:
Do you think i am looking at envelopes when i am sending paperwork as much as i know it should be saying store[redacted] if its saying otherwise its not my probelm or fault.... however if i see other enelopes i will remove it.As of the deposit slip is always in the envelopes
