Target

After being jealous for years of you guys (in the U.S.), shopping online even if I could not order, I finally learned fabulous news today.

We will be getting TARGET stores in Quebec!!!


I can wait to share this shopping experience with you guys, because I was about to cross the boarders just to go shopping. I will have to wait as the project is only for the beginning of 2013, but still I can not wait.

2 other months

Hey guys!

I'm still alive and doing much much better.
I should be back to work in 2 weeks (yay!)
I am going completely nuts over shoes.
Counting the days before I move into my new place.
I'm still going to the gym.
I reunited with an old friend from high school and had a blast (will do again).
And I got in touch with my friend from this post
My godson gave us a scare when he had a allergic reaction to peanuts and had to be driven to the hospital by ambulance (Thank God he is fine)
Summer is finally starting to show signs that it is on it's way, I read a book sitting outside for the first time today since last summer.
After all these dark months, there is light at the end of the tunnel.
For the first time ever I am an absolute fan of American Idol (I'm rooting for Scotty) and the Amazing race (I'm rooting for Mallory and her dad).

Have a great week my friends!

PS: If you have a few minutes stop by my blog friend Chana's. She is going through a hard time and she needs all the prayers and positive energies she can get.

Ebay part 2

This week I should be receiving this gorgeous dress. It was my last purchase I did a couple of weeks ago when I went on my Ebay shopping spree.


All the other stuff was great but it was all too small. This one should fit as there are no sleeves :) It's nice to buy yourself a little something to make you feel pretty.

eBay

Lately I have been snooping around on eBay and since I don't have lots of money because I am on sick leave; I placed bids on items that the prices were very low and I won!

In the next few days I will receive these 3 beautiful pieces of clothing that I paid a grand total of 7$. Yes 3 gorgeous pieces for 7$!!!





Do you guys ever shop online?
What site do you trust?

Reward

This week was reward week.
I have done a lot of work on myself in the 2 past week, so I deserved it.

Instead of clothes I got:


-My first cosmopolitan ever
-The 5th book of Twilight
-The first season of Grey's Anatomy
-A book called the fear of fear
And a relaxation cd that I will put in the garbage as the man that talks on it sounds like a old pervert who will make me make nightmares instead of relaxing.

Lets hope that the next pay I get reward as well, cuz I'll be on vacation!

No reward

This week is pay week and I did not earn a reward.

The past 2 weeks have been worst than I could have ever imagined.
I have been going through an emotional and physical roller coaster.
I have discovered corners of my mind and physical sensations that completely freaked me out. I now know how powerful the mind is and I need to make it work in a positive way.

I had Carrie over for a couple of days and my subconscious mind did not let me have a good time like I wish I would of.
When she was here I barely ate, and then it got worst, I was 3 days eating only one piece of toast a day.

I quit my job and signed the contract at another job, but finally had to make the decision not to leave my current job, as again my subconscious mind had more control over me than my mind.

I got into an argument with my mom and although I told her how I really feel, I regret how it has hurt her, but I needed to say certain things.

I have been getting help, but I have reach a point where I need a more specific type of help. So I got this process going in fast forward mode.

I am not writing this to get pity or anything. I am just sharing with you my life in the past two weeks.

I have fabulous and extremely comprehensive people around me and I am so grateful.

I am not depressed, but I am facing difficult issues that I should of dealt with years ago. I believe I am on the road to getting better and that I will a better person after all of this is over.

For now I need to rest, focus of positive things and cherish the people that are standing by me in this journey.

Thank you for being there.

Second reward

This week was my second week of reward, although I had some difficult moments, I believe I deserve it again :)

I went out to go get the little yellow dress but once I had it on I realized my boobs did not fill out the top part :(

Instead I got this nice shirt


This little top


And another pair of sandals



I am also trying to find another pair of jeans, but it seems that the only thing out there are skinny jeans, which I don't really like.

Little yellow dress

Ever since the weekend I have been thinking about this little yellow dress that I saw.
I know I have to wait till the next reward moment to go get it and it is driving me crazy.

I could go buy it right away because it wasn't very expensive, but if I start buying things when ever I want the reward wont mean anything anymore.

I am not a dress girl and I usually don't like yellow stuff.
Is it just because I cant have it right away that I want it so bad?
Or do I really love it?

What would you do? Do you have anything yellow in your closets?

First reward

This Friday was the first payday since I decided to reward myself.
I believe I did efforts in those 2 past weeks and deserve my reward.
I was away on my fishing trip Thursday and Friday so I went shopping today.

Here are my rewards:

A cute new top


A new pair of PJ's I couldnt resist because I loooove stars


And a new pair of sandals


I will try to make the same efforts in the weeks to come, because I saw lots of cute things out there :)

One month

Today it has been one month I moved out from D's.
It was a rough month, with lots of soul searching and it's only the beginning.
Now that I am single I have to take care of myself and my health.
I have to learn how to let go of anxieties and stress that doesn't belong to me.
I have so many challenges ahead of me and I sure hope to be able to succeed.

I have really bad days, I have ok days and a few good one.
My goal is to turn this around.
I'd rather have really great days, a few ok days and not really any bad days.
It will be a long process, but I believe in myself.

I have to relax and come at peace with myself.
I want to get up in the morning and feel the sun on my skin and embrace the new day that was given to me.

Today I decided that I needed to reward myself for the efforts that I do.
Here is what I've decided (and you girls will love it), as of today every payday (every 2 weeks) I will treat myself and buy two pieces clothing.
I cant wait till next pay day now, it motivates me to work even harder on myself, it is all positive and it is a win-win situation.

IKEA

The past few weeks I have been going through the IKEA catalog everyday.
I have been going on the website and creating myself shopping lists at least every 2 days for the past week.

I just cant wait till the weekend comes to go shopping.
Each time I go there I usually have one thing in mind I need or want to buy, but rarely come out with that only one thing.

I look around my place and there is so many things from IKEA it's crazy.

Anyone else has trouble resisting IKEA?

Andhari's Dress Party Project

Andhari is hosting this cool project.


We have till February 3rd to post a picture of ourselves in a pink dress.
So today I went out shopping with my sister to tried on some dresses (because I don't own anything pink) and took pictures in the stores that allowed it.

Here is the result:


It's not all pink, but I hope it will count :)

I cant wait to get it and to use it in Cuba :):):)

I got screwed

This is what happens when you shop too fast Christmas eve... you dont take time to look at what you buy, try only one of the 2 gloves on to see if they fit and once your home you end up with this...

Therapy part 2

I went shopping again today.

I bought the earrings I had been craving for a while.
Titanium Zoppini earrings with a small zircon on them.


I also bought more Christmas gifts and started getting ready for my next giveaway ('its coming up pretty soon)

Shopping again tomorrow? We'll see :)

Therapy

After a long week at work with many hours of overtime, and living lots of emotions lately I offered myself a little (shopping) therapy session tonight.
I spoiled myself and it feels great!

Here are my purchases:

2 T-shirts (a purple and a white)

A pair of jeans

A lingerie kit (like this one but purple)


A comfy pair of shoes

A purple top


I also bought myself a ring that divides in 3 with a big flat ivory stone in the middle which is very pretty and a Christmas gift for D.

I feel much better, but I think I'll got back...I still want a pair of earrings.

New laptop

Yay I finally bought my new laptop last night!
But guess what I am still writing from my old piece of shit.
My new laptop right now is not very user friendly with his *beeping* Windows Vista.
I wanted to wait for the ones coming with Windows 7, but I just couldn't and I should of. Right now I just feel like throwing the thing across my living room.

I'll ask my geek boyfriend to help me when he'll get up, but he is a Linux user, so I have an idea of what he will tell me. He already installed my a bunch of stuff I use lat night but not everything. Since I don't consider myself as completely clueless with computers I decided to install MSN on my own (which I have done in the past with no problems at all on windows XP).
Well I cant *beeping* do it with Windows *beeping* Vista. I've downloaded 3 times all the MSN live bullshit junk and in my start up menu I still have: Windows Live messenger Download. What the hell am I doing wrong? Ok I am French and I got the Windows Vista in English, but that has nothing to do with me not being able to install, I believe I understand English pretty good.

So yeah I could of wrote all of this from the new laptop (yay), but I just don't feel like touching it right now. I'd just want to delete all the stupid icons in the start up menu that I don't *beeping* need.

With the new laptop (yay) I did get a free upload to Windows 7 when this one comes out, which is apparently very good (cant be worst than Vista).

In the meantime if any of you have experience with Vista and can help me please do not hesitate to guide me.

***Update***
Thank you ladies for your mental support. Geek boyfriend got up and fixed my problem. Then I spent the entire day(12 hours) transferring files and reorganizing my stuff. Now I am too tired to enjoy the new laptop lol

Fashion crime

I dont know if you guys went shopping lately, but the fashion from the 80's is coming back.
Florescent colors are everywhere.
Even the top brands are now printing their logo's in those hot pinks and glowin the dark grass hopper colours.

Please get the fahion police!!!

Another purse

I had it in the corner of my mind for a couple of days.
I finaly decided to go get it last night, but the cashier put the wrong one in the bag.
So tonight I had to go exchange it.
I now can add another purse to my collection.
