No, but seriously, I found some very cute martini glasses on clearance at Target (which is also where I got those nifty plates 2 posts below).
These were only $10!
I love clearance sales... :::::sigh:::::

New Martini Glasses!
That's right, this shopaholic in recovery went out and blew a couple bucks on something unnecessary... what of it?! :P

Is it really time to go home?
I am so tired... I'm so ready to go home and relax. Is it really time for me to go home and get some R&R?
I've been busting my ass in ways I didn't know possible this week, training for this new position and hoping that I do good enough to merit a raise. My brain is like swiss cheese and I swear I can hear something rattling around in my head. Is it my sanity? I think I might have lost it somewhere among the myriad paperwork scattered throughout my store and around my desk.
The last 30 days have been a true test of how much I can take before I start to crumble. Our a.c. broke down (there goes $500), Russell's truck broke down (there goes $1100), the IRS realized that I owed them $500 (there goes $500), my car broke down (say goodbye to another $331, Amber... "goodbye $331, Amber!").
I really have been trying to maintain a positive outlook and to remember the wonderful things that I'm blessed with. I have total job security (but, to be fair, I just knocked on wood to be safe), other than a few cavities we can't immediately get fixed, Russell and I are in good health. We both have wonderful, supportive families. Things could be much worse than they are and I am so thankful for that.
Still, I am simply overjoyed that I get the next 2 days to really process the last month so I can properly deal with the financial downfalls we've suffered, to figure out a gameplan on how we will work through them, and to just look towards a brighter future and hopefully a less stressful couple of weeks ahead.
I have to admit... I am extremely excited to be visiting my mother-ship (the mall) tomorrow. I go not to shop (for shame!) but to try and pawn off my gold jewelry, given to me by some ex-boyfriends who I hold absolutely no sentimental memories toward. Not shopping will be interesting and difficult for me as I'm a hopeless shopaholic, but considering that I've shredded my credit cards and have practically NO cash available, it should be something that is at least obtainable.
I hope all you fellow bloggers, Nesties, SITStahs, and 20SBs have a great weekend. What Not to Wear is calling and I am never one to turn down an hour of Stacey and Clinton!

Lovely
It's the first Saturday in about 6 months that the temperature is above 65 degrees here in Charlotte.
So far the day is actually going by pretty fast... and despite the fact that I've run out of toilet paper here in my store, I'm in a good mood.
Nothing very interesting to report, I suppose. My brother in law still has his job, he's still living with us, we're all still having a blast with each other, and I've recently discovered his hidden talent of hitting high notes at decipals that could make an opera singer's head implode. It's really funny, and seriously amazing. It's too bad we don't know anyone in the record business, we could make a fortune off of him.
I'm still drowning in credit card debt and drooling over things that I should never consider buying... like this: http://gypsy05.com/shop/p_513_Women-Tank-Top-Floral-Burnout-Tank-Top.aspx (by the way, I tried to save the picture so I could just insert it and make things easier, but Gypsy 05's website won't allow it... douchebags)... and this: http://gypsy05.com/shop/p_142_Women-Tank-Top-Nectar-Tank.aspx... and this: http://gypsy05.com/shop/p_384_Women-Tank-Top-Burnout-Tank.aspx . The one for $48 is not going to break my bank or anything, but if I combined all of these, I could pay off a quarter of one credit card. :::::sigh::::: It's just not as fun paying off the debt as it is spending all your cash on frivolous things that won't look good on you in 2 years.
I am finding, however, that while some of Urban Outfitter's clothes are totally hideous, I enjoy a good percentage of their shirts, and they are WAY cheaper than Gypsy 05.
A girl has to budget!
