We did get more snow, but it’s going away fast. We’re going to be in for yet even more, unfortunately. It’s to be cold and with a chance of snow all week. We’re still months away from any real warmth.

Paula called and said that while she knows it’s no excuse, she’s been too lazy to write, but does have the letter with the rat stamp on its way to me. She said she’s so used to me sending letters regularly and she knew she wouldn’t get anymore till she wrote, so she got on herself to write. So her punishment is officially over. No more silent treatment. I’ll write her back as soon as I get the letter.

From what she tells me, she spends her time chasing guys and getting in trouble. Oh, the sins that kid of hers will have to pay for! I totally believe that, too. I’ve often wondered why Tom and I were always made to pay for our sins as well as other people’s and not just other people’s, and the best guess I can come up with as to why that is is because God knows there won’t be any offspring to take our mistakes out on.

Anyway, she wasn’t clear as to what trouble she got in. All I could gather was that it was over her car. She said she got caught driving it without a license and so she didn’t go to court. Yet she must have gone at some point because now she’s on probation for 6 months. The ditz is still driving and says she’s going to say she’s someone else if she gets stopped. That’ll do her good! Especially since they’ve got her prints and photos on file and all the pigs know her.

She said she got a call from her oldest son Robert for the first time last month. He’s about to turn 18 and I guess the poor kid’s been shuffled from one foster home to another all his life. I’d bet anything that just like his brother, he’s going to basically be a misfit in society on disability and or in jail.

Sure enough, Tom’s guitar-playing coworker was so mad to hear about the second guitar I won. Especially since he met Neal McCoy. He used to be a security guard at the little entertainment center downtown where we can see the lights at night from here, and that’s how he met him. Being the typical cock that he is, he’d like us to give him the guitar for free because I didn’t “pay” for it. As Tom pointed out, though, yes I did pay for it. I paid for it through many hours of making one entry after another.

While I may be allowed to win/sell things, I’m still not allowed to make money. All I’ve been getting is a few scattered survey invitations to be entered into drawings or to earn points. We’re going to get a refund back soon. It was a total waste of money.

Speaking of money, since his job doesn’t look promising, he guesses we’ll leave the state anytime between this October to October of ‘08. I guess it’ll all come down to what God wants more for me – to freeze my ass off or listen to other people’s bullshit. I could do both if the wrong people move in around here, but our lease is up and we’ll have the money to move, so this is good to know. Unless we find a good deal or get run out of here, I guess we’ll just stay put till we can leave. I don’t know what the greenhouse I saw meant, if anything at all, or why I didn’t see the U-Haul of the future come to take us to California parked out front. Perhaps it’s because it’s still too far in the future?

The best news is that the mannequin is no longer just a dream! She’s on her way and is due to be delivered on Friday. I still can’t believe it.

I also ordered 1000 cones and a few ounces of Patchouli, Pink Sugar and Jasmine, some of my favorites.

There are a couple of sites I found that have awesome wigs. It usually costs $100 or more to get a longhaired wig yet one site has a 40” Cher wig for $60 that I just have to get at some point! She’s coming with a free blond wig without bangs that are just below the shoulders. I also added a coppery-colored, shoulder-length wig with bangs. My goal is to have a variety of styles, lengths and colors as long as the wig’s no shorter than shoulder-length or gray! It’d be nice to have blond, copper, red and black. I guess the copper wig could be described more as golden brown.
