quest+ making the Cuprit layaway payments on time
upper+ i'm feeling happier than i have in a while
downer+ kyu is feeling tantrum-y
attire+ comfy lounging pajamas + hoodie
drink+ Dublin dr Pepper, the nectar of the gods!

so i have my goat baby demons all paid off, and now i've entered a split for the outfit (including the wings), the wig (waist length blonde and wavy), the human tip toe feet, and the ice crown from SOOMs new doll, Cuprit the Black Frost. the other person is getting the doll, the horns, and the ice hooves of DOOM! xD she's being bought completely unpainted, but i'm looking forward to seeing how she gets done after her arrival.

in non-doll stuff, this weekend we went out and visited the paternal side of kyu's family. awkwardness abounded, apparently some unspoken negativity has been festering in the 4 years since we've been out there. nothing was said directly, but i heard myself referred to as "what's her name" and "that girl" multiple times. xD they know my name, they also know that i make kyu happier than they ever did. the negativity really only came from a few people, the others were very sweet and affectionate. you could tell by the good-bye hugs who resents me and who legitimately liked me being there. from my first meetings with them, kyu's Nana, Pop, and uncle Jeremy were loving and inviting. his biological dad was initially wary, but accepted me by the end of the first visit. the rest have only pretended to. that's fine, as unkind as it may be, i don't want to be accepted by judgmental backstabbers and a small horde of teenage mothers.. i'm not talking 17 or 18 either, i'm talking 14 and 15 at conception. X.x i think not being accepted by them is a sign i'm doing something right. the upside to all of it is that on the way home, we stopped at the Stephenville WalMart and bought a case of Dublin Dr Pepper (made with Imperial Sugar!) for like, 8 bucks. it is so much better than the regular stuff. Dublin DP and $3 movies are the only good things out there. xD

the downside to a day trip like that is that with all the driving, it takes a lot of willpower for me not to get carsick. X.x i spent most of the rest of yesterday sleeping after we got home so i could feel better. i do today, but if this trip does become a monthly thing, it'll totally have to stay a saturday thing so i can recover in time for work on monday. xD speaking of work, things got crazy a week ago when my boss took her vacation. they've calmed down again, but it's making me look forward to this summer, when i'm gonna take mine. i'm not sure when exactly i'm taking it, or what i'll do, but i have the hours saved up so i may as well use them, you know? i generally take my time off in the summer because a week then is enough to hold me until the holidays hit and things go crazy. at that point, i get Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years, and those scattered days get me through the frenzy.

i'm really gonna try to do better about posting. if i wait to long, someone give me a poke/text/call and be all "hey how are you? i'd know if you'd post in your stupid blog!" xD that would help me out, i think.
