Thank you BC and Beth! I had a poor experience with Claire’s as well, which is part of why I’ve been dragging my feet on trying a piercing again. The good news is I finally got brave and did get my ears Pierced today!  Our mall has a specialized piercing store where they use actual needles over guns, and after talking to the staff there I felt confident they were legit and knew what they were doing. They also told me a could sleep on my piercings! Apparently the stay off of them rule is only for upper ear piercings, not for lobes. As we were discussing after care my piercer told me that when a piercing gun is used it doesn’t actually create a hole in the ear - instead it just forced the earring in and they have YOU twist the jewelry after to create the hole.  What happened with my Claire’s petrifying was the earrings got almost stuck to my ear and they were almost impossible to remove. I wonder if maybe I didn’t create enough of a hole? I remember having to fidget with the earrings really grossed me out, so I’m happy I don’t have to do that this time around!  I don’t want to go back to work tomorrow. I had three days off and it was sooo nice to just relax! Back to the craziness!

I really want to get my ears pierced, but I read you can’t sleep on the piercings while they are healing. I’m a side sleeper, so that’s a pretty hard ask.  I know there are deals tomorrow with it being Friday the 13th….I took the day off to try and get in on those deals but now idk if I want to do it.

Very interesting news about the alternate Nova! Since she is my favorite of the bunch I will absolutely feel the need to try and get the pink stripe alternate haha! I think I slightly prefer the white, but the pink arguably does match the art better and gives her more a pop. I’ll try and wait til later so the white stripe ones all (hopefully) sell out!

It’s amazing how much detail you got into her symbols! The image really could be a standalone painting, it looks fantastic! Her color scheme is lovely too. She is amazing!

It feels like these past couple days have not been going in my favor. I had gotten up and wandered away from my work computer today thinking our phones had been shut off. Well, I guess the switch off never happened because when I came back on there was an active call on the line. Embarrassing enough, but who was it on the other line? My mom.  We work at the same company and she just HAPPENED to get me the one time I was slacking. We’ve worked in this same department for almost a year now and she has never gotten me. Ugh I’m so embarrassed! I feel like I wasted my day off yesterday. I wanted to get a lot of cleaning done but I got roped into a sales pitch for new windows instead. Ironically, I was cleaning my windows as the sales people came by so they saw me and I couldn’t just ignore the doorbell. I can’t afford new windows. I don’t know why I even entertained them but the whole pitch took two hours. I could have gotten so much done in that time. While cleaning I found another dead roach. It seems like this has been a really bad year for them getting in. I made my dad come over and clear it out since it was in a really awkward spot between a wall and my shelves.

I do absolutely love her! Sorry she was such a troublemaker LOL but you’d never know that she had to be redone by looking at her! I think the simple design of the shapes is perfect, it really captures that neon sign against a dark room look! Plus the fact that she DOES actually glow under a blacklight is an added plus! Thank you again for creating her, I think she turned out amazing!

My dad threw a major temper tantrum tonight because we went to In n Out and they put cheese on his burger. He ordered a double hamburger which he INSISTS means no cheese, but I don’t feel like that is super clear. I know that hamburger usually implies no cheese, but if the sight of cheese is going to throw you off the edge you need to specifically order it with no cheese imo. I ended up eating it since he was just going to throw it away. I really didn’t need an extra burger but I hate seeing perfectly good food go to waste.
Edit: my mom found some dents in the fridge and she thinks it looks like my dad may have punched the fridge. Over cheese. On a burger.

Oh man, that sounds awful pokeyonekenobie. I’m so sorry that guy is being such a pain. It sucks that YOU have to be the one considering quitting when it sounds like he is the problem! I think my favorite energy drinks are discontinuing my absolute favorite flavor. I noticed they removed it from their variety pack and when I went to order some cans of it individually it shows as unavailable on Amazon and it’s not listed on their official website at all. I just drank my last can of that flavor today too. If I’d known it was my last I would have savored it more! RIP Orange Vanilla, idk why you would get discontinued but you were the best.

I hope EŌS ends up being a good match for you shockponie! It probably depends on the location but everyone at my location is pretty chill and just keeps to themselves. I know they have open houses kinda frequently so they should let you tour the facility too! Speaking of I’ve fallen off the wagon again. I skipped going to the gym last week since I had to go in the office and I’m having trouble working up the motivation to get going again. I think I’ve managed to lose another pound though, and I’m pretty sure that is thanks to when I WAS working out so that’s going to be my motivation!

Blue Razz gang here! If you’re going to go full the fake fruit why not go for the fruit that does not exist in nature at all!  I like most fruit candies, though some of them can be a little sickly sweet for me. Cherry and strawberry are the two that spring to mind that can be iffy for me.

I have multiple little complaints lol! The other night there was a GIANT Palo Verde beetle that was on my iPad RIGHT next to my hand. I threw my iPad across the room, it was so gross!  I think it must have crawled on me at some point to even get on my screen, but I don’t want to think too much about that! Luckily this was at my parents house, so I got my dad to kill it. Apparently those things can fly and they will fly right at you! I just got an update from my work that we are now taking customer complaints in chat. Chat used to be my one day of peace where I didn’t have to talk to customers or take complaints, but I guess there is no break anymore. On the upside I guess we are getting 9 new people starting in a week, so hopefully the calls won’t be as steady as they have been. I really shouldn’t look at jobs when I’m not serious about switching. I found a city job that pays pretty close to my current salary for event set up and break down and I’m soooo tempted to apply. I feel like I should stick with my current company for at least another year to finish off school on their dime. Plus, I also have decent benefits and a good reputation there but ugh…..I just don’t won’t to be in insurance anymore. So much of our call center is being outsourced to third party call centers that I just don’t feel confident that this is a good long term job anymore.

… Last night when I went the gym was playing The Lion King in the movie room, so I actually did exercise for close to an hour! …
Minty, that is so cool! Do you go to EOS? I’m considering joining one, but I haven’t heard much about it. A movie room sounds like a good idea. What activity do you guys do in the movie room (treadmill, elliptical, stairs, etc)? Have you ever done any spin classes? I’m wondering if it’s too hard for someone like me. 
Yes!! I go to EŌS. I really like them a lot.  I know there are some complaints about it being a busy gym, but I tend to go around like, midnight so I never notice lol! They are the only 24 hour gym I know of around me so that alone makes me like them. The movie room is definitely my favorite part of their gyms! Other than having something interesting to look at during my workout I also like the dim lighting in that room, it’s so much cozier to workout in lol! They have a mix of different cardio machines in there. Mine has 3 ellipticals, 3 stair climbers, and a bunch of treadmills and bikes. I wish they had weight training stuff in there too. I might be more motivated to do that stuff if a movie was playing! I’ve not yet taken advantage of any of their group classes. I can’t really determine if they cost extra or not so I’ve been too cheap to try signing up for one to see. :LOL: they have a water aerobics class in the evenings that I’d like to try someday though! They have a pretty good variety of different classes for all kinds of different activities and skill levels, so I’m sure they might have a good cycling class to try!

I love pony photography! I wish I had more time to make elaborate sets and such, but even just simple light box pictures make me happy! I usually always bring a pony or two with me on vacations so I can take pics of them with the scenery. I also like giving them spas! I don’t do it probably as much as I should, but cleaning up ratty looking ponies to be pretty again is so satisfying!

I feel like I’m getting burnt out at work. I work in the complaints department and I’m kind of the end of the line when it comes to customer support. I don’t really have a lot of authority beyond filing complaints, so naturally I don’t have many of my interactions end on a good note. I know not to take it personally since people are mad with the situation and not with me, but there are only so many times in a week I can be called “useless” or “incompetent” before it does start to sting a little. I should probably save my PTO up more but I keep taking random days off here and there just to have a break from it. I also then feel bad on my days off like I should just suck it up and get the pay or I’ll worry that it looks bad that I keep taking time off.
