What are you thinking? 9.0

Thinking that it's Portia's bedtime.

But what about her soda?

Woke up the other morning to find that the couple below me know me as the "Aussie girl". When did this happen? Plus he use to help me when I was on cruches and that was years ago

But what about her soda?

Are you insane?!! I can't give her soda before bedtime. She would be bouncing off the walls.

I brought some mineral oil and glitter from Ebay to make a couple of wave bottles with my nephew next week.  I want to spend time with him on Christmas Eve, but I know I'm going to have to work until late.  He might be out of town with his parents anyway.  My nephew wants me to buy a tiny boat that can float inside the bottle and a tresure chest to put a penny in it, but I told him that I couldn't afford to.  The oil and glitter is almost two hours pay from my work alone.  I would love to buy some plastic sea critters and some boats to put in there, but I can't.  I would like to buy a monopoly boat piece to put in there, but it is likely that it won't float, and it might even rust, and I don't want that.  I found two fish from a little fishing game I used to have that I can put in my bottle, but they won't float.  My nephew wants one of the fish in his bottle, and the selfish me says "no way, get your own!" but in reality, I will probably give him one.  I'm probably going to put a Canadian dime in mine as "underwater treasure".  I also plan on putting some white glitter in there, so it can either look like snow or sea foam.  I may also put a couple of squirts in the bottle so it can look like glaciers are in there.  I told my nephew to find some tiny things he can put in his bottle.  I have a feeling my niece is going to want to participate.  I don't think I'm really going to have any thing to put in hers except a ton of glitter.  Hopefully she will love that....or I may make her a pearluscent sensory bottle, but I would need to practice on how to make that first.  Anyways, I do want to hang out with my nephew.  He wants to decorate the Christmas tree, listen to Christmas music, help me make fudge (I made some on Thanksgiving and he enjoyed it!), watch "is it a good idea to microwave this?" On Youtube.  I just need to find a time that we can accomplish such goals.

Clearing out leftovers

The enchiladas I made the other day are still way too hot unless you need something to wake you up, make you sweat and/or just to clear your sinuses   

[JHeron]

I wonder if I should go blond...  I have such a love hate relationship with my hair color hmm

[King Malachite]

I just love being referred as "that brown woman".....

sarcasm btw

Haha wtf? I always wonder why people just describe others like that. At the place I work we have a lot of "brown people" so it doesn't work there...there's one place I work where I'm the only white person so I do wonder if people say "oh yeah, that white guy."

[Adam (birkin)]

When I first started working I lost 20 or 25 pounds in about 3 months or so, somewhere in there, without doing anything. I haven't weighed myself in one or two months, until today, and see that I lost 5 more despite that I still eat a lot of fast food and junk. I'm kind of scared, actually...like it's not a drastic weight loss, but it doesn't make a lot of sense given that I don't make a commitment to exercise and I still eat a lot of crap.

I'm thinking there might be a few factors...although my job is mostly sedentary, when I was super depressed I slept more, stayed up late and ate a lot of food. It's also possible that while I still eat junk, overall I am eating less. I don't tend to have time to eat emotionally as much as I used to, so maybe I am eating less and not fully realizing it. Like I still go to the gas station often enough and grab a pop, and sometimes a treat, but I don't do what I used to do which is get a pop, bag of chips, chocolate bar, another sweet thing, and maybe a slice of pizza. lol. I eat fast food maybe twice a week now, don't know if that's more or less than before.

I don't know, I just hope it's a result of me unconsciously being healthier, and not a result of me having a health issue.

Lol yeah it got pretty annoying after a while.  It would be one thing if it was a very young child, but this boy was like 11 or 12.  I was trying to do my job (dressed up like the bunny) and he kept telling people, "it's that brown woman".  I got irritated and told him "of course....who else would it be....it's only two of us".

Hugs Malachite,

You are a remarkable young man who I am proud to know.

-hugs- Thanks Cindy!  That really does mean a lot to me.    Personally, I hate customer service, but I got to do what I got to do, right?

I'm wondering at how so many terms and actions are taken as compliment or make one happy and the exact same thing makes others angry or unhappy. No wonder I don't care to be around people, they are way to hard to understand.

[Danielle Emmalee]

People who like to constantly show off all of the 50-cent words in their vocabulary during casual conversation in order to make themselves feel intellectually superior really annoy me.  As a matter of fact, I do not carry a dictionary nor a thesaurus on me.  If you want to get your message across, it's probably best to do so speaking plainly.

This.  Yeah, we get it, you're super smart and educated, but your not writing a great art piece, you're having a conversation.

Dressed up like the Bunny? As in, Easter Bunny? Or the Bunny from Donny Darko?

[Marcellow]

I wonder if I should ask a famous FTM YouTuber to do a collab video together.

[King Malachite]

Lol it was our generic mascot bunny for our playhouse.

[Rainbow Dash]

Ah ok. lol. I can't picture you being in a costume like that. Willingly anyway. Did you lose a bet?

[King Malachite]

Lol no, it's part of my job working with children.  I have to wear it for birthday parties.  When the kids aren't attacking me, it can be very fun.  It's pretty much the only time I get to "cosplay".



I'm such a big child.  Our church got some free toys and I picked out a few that I wanted for myself and took the ones they were going to throw away (guns and a fake cigar).  Two of those toys included some stone-like magnets and a tattoo sleeve.  My nephew and niece are at my house right now and they busted open some of their toys, so I wanted to join the fun.  That's when my mother said she wanted tl look at some of my toys to maybe buy some.  Long story short, she wanted to purchases my tattoo sleeve and stone magnet for a dollar.  :/  I caved in.  She threw in another dollar for some Mars mud and two water guns.

She took my good stuff.  :/  Lol, oh well.  She's giving them to my nephew for Christmas, so I can't trip too much.  He is actually bugging me to go put decorations on the tree with him so off I go.
