I have a craving for something. Just can't put a finger on it though.

Ahhhhhh......much better!

I think I wanna open up my own clothing and acessories store in the Bronx (or anywhere else in NYC). The "goth" stores in the city have been disappointing experiences for me and I really want to improve on that. I want a store that sells *dark* clothing, but not necessarily the cheesy or costume-ish Gawth stuff, ya know? I wanna sell wearable stuff - clothes for day or night, work or play, etc. And my prices would be reasonable; no one should have to pay $100 for a poorly constructed, cheap stretch velvet and plastic blouse that doesn't fit right on anyone. I would also have a section for larger sized guys and gals. Oh, and wouldn't mind if regular non-goth folk came into my store. If only I had money....and a business plan.

^^I hear ya. I don't really like buying things over the interwebs because you can never be sure that certain fabrics will fit right. Around here the only "gothy" stores are either hot topic (Which I know really doesn't have any goth stuff anymore) and little bondage/ leather goth shops. All of them being very expensive and not the bets pick of "I would actually like to wear that" clothing.

Who keeps sneaking sugar into my food? Someone has to be, the past four days I've been really hyper.

I'm with you both. With Goth clothes shopping, it seems like it's either comically stereotypic Goth, or wildly expensive things that may be priced fairly but still unattainable, or nothing at all (or serious hunting, I should say). Diva, if you open that shop, I'll be happy to order. In the meantime, I continue the hunt in unexpected places.

I already have plans to open the Emporium Galorium.... sad fact is that I dont have the money to do it. I have people willing to actually work in such an establishment but without cash I'm stuck.

Our plans were me to do the clothing and accessories, my friend Patti to provide a coffee shop service with home made cakes and my friend Clare to do home made gothic cards and home delivery flower arrangements

Maybe a pipe dream but sometimes dreams come true

Ordered a small meatlovers pizza from the local House of Pizza. They didn't mess around:

Holy cow. That's meaty.

And delicious.

^ Now, I haven't seen many meat lovers type pizzas myself, but the few I have seen ordered... man, they'd be all dropped jaw at the sight of that one!



I wonder if the Damnation girls are hunting eggs today?



I see you bing

<---- Is going to Fudderwacken vigorously

I can't figure this one out... what would happen?

I bought these on Saturday...
Geisha 1
Geisha 2
Salt and pepper shakers.
Fairy.

^^ What great finds! I've always liked that fairy in particular.

I did lots and lots of yardwork yesterday. My knees are unhappy, and I feel like I've been stretched in all directions, but I feel fitter and happier.

I wanna close my office door, close the blinds, close my eyes and take a nap. I am sooo tired right now. Zzzzzzzzz..............

They had an absolutely brilliant egg hunt. The weather was perfect so we were able to hide eggs outside too.

Yep, I made up my mind. I'm quittin' school after this quarter. It's too much work and I really can't see an end in sight. I'm super stressed with all the work I have to do, and I have very little time for myself. Add to that my wife duties (cooking, cleaning, taking care of the hubby)....it's a wonder I haven't gone mad yet. There's only a week off in between quarters, so things like extensive traveling would be out of the question for the next four years. Many of my assignments are due on the weekends, and even if I try to do things earlier in the week, there's so much of it it's hard to finish everything before the weekend. This weekend, on my trip to Washington, D.C., I had to lug my laptop and textbooks to do homework at night. Ugh. Yeah, I can't do this anymore.

Sounds tough Diva. But you do what you gotta do.

think its time for a haircut, I got split ends and it stopped growing and its going frizzy... chop chop time

Sounds like a good choice overall, Diva. That's a lot to juggle, and it's worth it if you can see an end goal, but if it's dragging on too long and eating in to other parts of your life, it might just not be right for you right now.

I had my interview today. I have a good amt. of experience, and I believe I interviewed well, but the bottom line is I've never managed 25 people. So I don't believe I'm up for a 2nd interview, but maybe if something opens up just below this position, I'll be a good fit for that. At least I made a good impression.

^ Hey!... I think you could do a very good job of managing over a group of 25 employees! Just because you haven't before....well there'sa first time for everyone for everything

That's Awesome! I was hoping you all had a wonderful time!

I remember the pics of those adorable eggs you & the girls made at last years Easter!
