busy
been busy all weekend. friends for dinner friday, out saturday, 21st birthday saturday night and spent the night at my mum's. sunday at mum's for mother's day. got home about 9.30pm. busy!

i've yet to catch up on a bunch of emails and stuff, but i decided to kick back and relax by ebaying some items i'm currently lusting after and can't afford.
worst luck, on of them IS on ebay, cheaper, but still out of my price range right now.
super warm looking green jacket.
it just looks SO warm. mmm...warm.
in winter, my life revolves around heat. which reminds me - i think i intend to buy a halogen heater. they are supposed to be super efficient. really heat up a room but low on power. anybody own one and find it good? yes? no? shut the hell up amy?
the other thing i want is sadly (or, maybe not so sadly, given i don't really NEED them yet and can't afford clothing splurges right now) not on ebay. and they're revoltingly expensive at the shop. new jeans! jeans don't hold up very well for me. well, maybe they do. i wear them literally every day and for pretty much every task - gardening, walking, dressing up to go out. the deal with a lot of shit and they give out early.
they live short, tortured little lives. there's a special spot in jean hell just waiting for me.
anyway, i found what appears to be the most perfect and flattering cut of jeans on me EVER (as much as i wear jeans, i know they don't do much for me look-wise. except!! except these ones DO. or would. whatever) but they're $99.
they'd have to be "wear for nice and not for the gardening" jeans only. i'd feel stupid just wearing out a $99 pair of jeans at the same rate as my $45 jeans. i thought jeans were made to last!

in conclusion: i've barely slept over the weekend and have no idea what i'm writing about.
we're out of those gluten free noodle snacks i love. and i'm hungry but they're all i want to eat.
my eyelids feel as though they're making a metal shovel scraping on concrete type sound on my eyeballs with each blink. perhaps time for bed.

Gah! I wish I had money! I would LOVE a jacket like that- especially in that green! Also I need to buy jeans too, but my jean wearing activity has gone right down since getting a job that doesn't let me wear jeans :( it sucks.

i've lay-byed it so i can pay it off slowly. it's just too warm and cosy to say no to.
i never used to wear jeans that much, but since i don't have a car and do so much walking, they're really practical. when i own a car i'm going to wear nice skirts and flimsy shoes.

Jeans are about the only thing I'll pay that much for. My jeans now were $110 but I've had them for 3 years now and have worn them just about every single day (they were Lee Riders). I need new ones now though because they've got big holes in the knees and they're starting to get cold with this Wintery frizzeringness!

i pay more for jeans than i do for most things too. i don't even mind wearing them when they got holes in them....except mine never get holes in the knees, it's ALWAYS in the arse and crotch. O_o

The must durable jeans I have ever encountered where Wrangler jeans, pretty much every cattle driver in Texas wears them and they are also recommended for construction workers. I would go bare back riding in them all the time and they held up well. You might want to give them a whirl.

that sounds pretty good - i should look into them. i'm astounded by how flimsy a lot of the ones i've looked at are. i guess there's a big divide between fashion jeans and actual jeans for using. heh.

yeah, it's way pricey. but clothes here in australia tend to be WAY more expensive than clothes in the USA. i go on shopping sprees when i'm there! everything is so damned affordable compared to here! and that was when our dollar didn't fetch as much either...now it'd be even better. i need to get back there!!!
