I hate that no matter how late I go to bed at night, my body automatically wakes me up shortly after six in the morning. Today was no exception. I had planned to sleep in and catch up on my beauty rest but apparently my body is already conditioned to get up and so it automatically does early in the morning. It’s so early in the morning that no one is on my buddy list.
I was having weird dreams last night. Dreams about friends owning beauty salons and beauty supply shops and me trying to get there but the door was locked. I keep having these strange dreams. I dream of code too. Of end tags and aligning text on pages so that it is pleasing to the eye. I’ve been working on my web pages too much.
I have so much running around to do today. Since my bank puts an automatic 5 day hold on funds from checks drawn on out of state banks I have to go to the casino and cash my check first, then take the cash to the bank and deposit it. Annoying, right? Hopefully it will be the last time I have to do this nonsense since I can officially call that company my former employer. Their headquarters is in Atlanta and our payroll checks were drawn on First Union Bank. There are no first unions here on the west coast. The first thing I’m doing at the new job is signing up for direct deposit so I don’t have to go through this any longer.
Aside from the three-stops-to-cash-one-check errand, I still need to get a haircut and a pedicure. I have $175 in Real Women Dollars from Lane Bryant and you know I’m going to go use those today. I’ve been waiting for this week ever since I started racking up the real women dollars last month. If you don’t know how they work, basically I get to walk in Lane Bryant and buy $350 worth of clothes for $175. Quite a deal huh?
I am still updating the links page. The other sections are all up and running so feel free to take a look around. To everyone that had changed their links to beatspirit.com, I’m sorry for the change yet again. In the end I just couldn’t give up my baby or the brand recognition that it brings. I know it’s nerve wracking when people open and close open and close and I have decided that Hideous Kinky will remain open indefinitely because I love the domain name and I refuse to give it up. I think I was afraid. Afraid of what was starting to come out in my writing and afraid of what the “fans” would say. A lot of stuff I never posted just because I didn’t want anyone to have bent feelings.
I learned something over the past few days though. I can’t run and hide from me, my thoughts or the way I feel because no matter what domain I am posting on those feelings and thoughts are still going to be there and if they are weighing that heavily on my mind, they are going to come out in my writing. I’d rather them come out in the spot where everybody knows my name, thank you very much. I’m still going to use beat spirit for something. I just haven’t quite determined what that something is yet. Still working out the kinks. Maybe a notes to self type blog. I’m not sure yet.
Maybe I will finally get around to cleaning my room this weekend. I have been procrastinating on that for the longest. My mom told me if I paid her she would help me. That should give you an indication of how bad it is looking right about now. Did I mention I was born in the year of the Pig? I guess it wouldn’t be so bad if I didn’t have so many clothes. That’s what the majority of the mess is. I have clothes everywhere. Clothes and books. I have books piled up in all areas of my room and I have nowhere to put them. I’m running out of space. Perhaps a trip to Target to find a bookcase?
And I need breakfast. My mom has been faking the funk. We used to go out for pancakes every Saturday morning. Lately there has been none of that. Get on the ball mom!
And so now at a quarter of ten on a Saturday morning I am going to throw on a pair of jeans and run out the casino to handle my business. At least casinos don’t charge you a fee for cashing your check.
