Question
How far in advance do you guys/people you know start packing to move. We aren't moving til the end of August, I think, but it seems to be coming all too fast. Still, we packed in a few days last time we did it (and in fact went to go see Star Wars III because it was just so bad it was so good we had to go see it again even though we were supposed to be packing!) So I'm not sure. I'm pretty sure I have more crap now, but I doubt there is much room for boxes in here anyways. To pack or to procrastinate, that is the question. |

I'LL ADMIT IT
http://ayasdollz.livejournal.com/2721.h Thats where I have been. We were never into dolls and then like a few weeks ago my twin decided she wanted one so we got her one and now I've ordered one for myself. Posing them and making them clothes is addicting (you can see Aya made him that hoodie and pants set... heh......) Anyhow. We aren't moving yet any more. So ...... that just means that I'm an unmotivated saver...... like I wanna save but I don't because I have nothing to save -for- besides such long term things as I would not see the fruits of my labor. |

Townhouse......
We pretty much decided we think we want the townhouse. So now it's deciding between a 1 and 2 bedroom. There is no doubt about it, I like the layout of the 1 bedroom the best, but the two has... two. The one has a cool nook where someone could sleep (its like a storybook nook!!!!! I wanna sleep there!) and the whole upstairs would be private. The two bedroom has two bedrooms but the layout on bottom reminds me more of an apartment because of how long it is and the kitchen isnt separated. http://www.flickr.com/photos/27238284@N So you can understand what you're looking at here are the floorplans. http://www.meritagehomes.com/images/dat http://www.meritagehomes.com/images/dat here are the pictures we took, I know they STINK we only have a telephoto lens and so most of them are from my cameraphone. Bear in mind that they are both light, bright, lofty and stunning. We would get black granite throughout with off white low grade marble or whatever tiles throughout the living areas, which would make a striking and stunning contrast and allow us to change our decorating colours all the time. If we decide on these townhomes, we'll be bunking up with my friend until it is finished (90 days or so) at which we won't have to pay any rent (except to store our crap in a storage unit) and therefore would be able to save more than 3000 a month, so about 9000 or more (because I based my savings on spending on lolita and stuff that I may not do.) So 10000 dollars later I'd have enough that I would be comfortable if we both lost our jobs for a few months, and I'd probably take 1 or 2k to go to IKEA and do the interior design (which would be ALL my design because I'd get to choose out everything. And if you don't know, my education is in interior design.) So its a big choice! They seem like a great value. Its cheap cheap cheap since it's got a phoenix address, but it's pretty much Scottsdale. Technically if we financed through their lender, they'd be cutting 15k off the price of the home, maybe more. They would pay our 3% down payment, they'd give us 5000 off and I convinced them since I wasnt using a realtor they should give me a good discount and they said they'd do another 1.5 or 2 percent. So thats about 5% down that THEY are paying.... that's nice too. There's no townhomes around it to comp it to, but the cheapest condos in the complex next door are going for the same price, if not higher per square footage and automatically I'd be having 5% equity (and if the housing market goes down and I lose 5% I wont give a crap because right now I'm renting and I'll never lose as much money monthly as I do renting, and hey 5% I didnt even pay so it's a good deal.) They pay closing costs and administrative loan fees and junk liek that..;.. AHHH what do you think? 2? 1??? Ignore my frumpy I have been out for more than 12 hours a day in the 110 weather searching for a new home/apartment and babysat last night until past midnight and want to go to sleep now clothes. |

IT IS TOO EXHAUSTING looking for a new place I don't wanna do it anymore. We are thinking of buying one of these: http://www.meritagehomes.com/builder/me Since they are cheap as dirt and GORGEOUS IRL. Those photos do not do justice, trust me I am a North Scottsdale girl and even I was like "Oh baby" to them http://www.alexanfranklloydwright.com/i We could rent one of these for half the price of buying that one, then we could save a down payment for those... but who knows? That one is a BRAND NEW community, no one has moved in yet, not for days, so we'd get our home to our specs, and if we wait they may not have more. Well I suppose they will but they are seriously good looking. Srsly. It makes the Alexan look like the ghetto. Other than that we are thinking of renting this big ol house with a huge yard for the same price as the Alexan, the advantage being not having to hear your neighbors and such things. I really love townhouses, though. But I could live in the house and save a down payment. WHAT DO I DO!? Buying the house off the bat is an investment so it's not like I'd be not saving kind of... The Alexan is across the freeway too which, even though it'd still only be 7 mins from work, is a pain. All of them are within 4 miles of work, about 10 minutes in traffic. Ahh it's so hard to decide. |

OK so yet another Walmart near me is getting rid of fabric. I got over 50 yards for 34 dollars. Also She goes "Do you need an embroidery machine?" And I thought to myself that the ones there are stinky but I do need/want one. So of course I said yes. And she said "This one is 169" I thought she was talking about a floor model, but its that 400 dollar Disney machine, and I nodded, and went to look at it and she goes "It's in the back so I'll have to go get it for you" NO EFFIN WAYYYYYYYYYY SO LIKE ITS 169 BRAND NEW AND EVEN USED THEY RESELL MORE THAN THAT So it was a good trip to walmart, and now I have an embroidery machine. |

Just kidding I didn't reformat because you need the cds or something which didn't come with my computadaro. So no reformating. Anyhow, I haven't been snapping my daily wares because... well... I'm just wearing my lavender Meta jsk today (for example) and no knee highs, with my cute ass white round toed shoes. That''s boring... So has the past while because I can't wear blouses under my jsks much any more because it is.... cozy and warm (to put it nicely.) I love the summer, it is one of the reasons I live here, but I really do wish I could wear layers all year round (except I hate the cold!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) So.... I sewed a little bit of a skirt yesterday. It's too long so I might take out the waistband and resew it shorter. The ruffles look awesome. I forgot how good they look because I haven't sewn in so long. |

You may not see me for a few days because I'm going to reformat my computer. Hopefully. I think it will work. I'll find out the hard way. |

Phase one of room cleaning has commenced. That's just a fancy way of saying I did one small area. 6 more to go. And then the closet, if I'm really motivated. I couldn't find anything to wear with my telephone skirt today (I wasn't in the mood to wear all pink though I will be someday.) so I just threw casualness together:  Yeah bad pic whatevar At least it has poofy sleeves.

Last Week
Still need to upload pics from Tombstone Bisbee Nogales and Jerome but here's most of last week (the first day I was wearing stuff I got in Mexico)
Friday Meta JSK This week coming when I wear stuff! I always end up wearing jeans on Monday because it's my casual day because I've dressed casual all weekend. Then I get inspired by the daily lolita posts and wear it starting Tuesday : P Bye bye for now!!!!!! |

Nope, I cannot believe it either. My Meta Antique Bouquet OP in antique white is here. I ordered it on Tuesday and had payment problems so it wasn't until Wed. Morning I got the payment out correctly. And it got here Saturday. HELL YEAH MAN I LOVE EMS I LOVE IT It's a beautiful almost classic slightly sweet (just how I like it) jsk which is much much less yellow irl. I also go the pink rabitchchang skirt with the pom poms. I have all this great pink to go with it, and it's slightly edgy so I think I can wear it psuedopunkstyle too. Also in my conversations that usually go "Oh Bisbee is the best you should go there!" and then someone responds "Have you ever been to Jerome?" I can reply "Have you ever been to Bisbee?" |

Too Much Fun.
Last weekend I took Friday off to pick up Erick Moy (internet buddy) and us and Steffie went to Tombstone, Bisbee, and Nogales (gotta show him Arizona at it's best, anyone can see the Grand Canyon, but we're the ones with the authentic old west, and like the coolest desert of all time) We went hiking in the Tonto, took him to our best food (all of which are Mexican) and we had more fun than I could ever express in words. So I gotta post pics. And then of course pics of my outfits from this week. Yesterday I was decked out in my frilly lavender Meta JSK and Lisa's daughter came in and said "I looooooooove your dress!" and then one of the managers of one of our stores came in and I'm trying to scare him away (to quit pestering me about dating him, we are not compatible, he's white, he is ugly, AND he is not successful. At least have one positive but no!!!!!! Well he does have a daughter but he doesn't live with her so where is the fun in that? I freaking love kids.) but I think he, unfortunately, thinks its CUTE. Pedophile. And today I am going to Jerome, AZ. A town built in the Victorian era for 15,000 people, that now has 400 people living there. Yes it's going to be off the hook. I love my work, I love my work week, I cannot believe it is Saturday, but I'm also excited to go travel and very blessed that we have the baddest ass ghost towns in the world within driving distance. Also my hair that I curled on Tuesday is still curly at the ends hotly (and not greasy... ) and so I must conclude: I adore my perm. MANY photos and documentations to come. I am so excited, I have had so much fun in the past week and a half I do not know what to do with it. |
