*sigh* WalMart bound.

Note to self:  "Self,  never NEVER do small local SCA events again.  Never do Pax.  No more Brass Ring Thing, even if there's an article in the local paper about you.  Also, no more local art & craft fairs.  Just don't do it.  Either they're all teasing you, or no one in this region has ANY disposable income.  By the way, neither do you.  Wasting time and gas on these events is...a waste of time and gas.  That equals a waste of money.  So, y'know, just don't do it."

George Bush has done a great job of strangling the shit out of the middle class.  I'm going to have to get a job at WalMart if this keeps up.  :-(

At least I'm still losing weight.   When all else fails, I can always have the satisfaction of starving myself.  That's not too control-freaky, is it?

*longs for chocolate*

*Derives perverse pleasure in denying self chocolate*

Yeah, I gots problems.

Uh-oh. When you said you were going to do a little local SCA thing that 'looked like fun' I had this foreboding, because the last two events you have said that about totally bombed. (Psychic fair and craft fair, I mean.) So any time I hear 'little local fun thing' now I think oh no, she won't will she?

Pshaw, must be co-incidence.

I think knowing you have the power to control one part of your life properly is enjoyable, even if it means self-denial. I LOVE being on a diet if I'm actually getting what I want out of it, even if I'm starving! I mean, I'm not happy about the lack of food and especially chocolate and ice cream and such but boy I am just SUPER happy about how my life is going when something I planned to do gets done as I planned it.

Yeah...you were right. :-( I was being waaay too optimistic. It was a great little event last year & I made a big chunk of money, but no one came this year and it was just plain awful.

Things have been pretty lousy lately around here. The economy is tanking & I need to get my stuff out of area.
