hollybrooke | what's been up with me!

You know how I've been complaining about how oh-so-broke I've been lately? Well, as soon as I gritted my teeth, made out my check to the state of Indiana to pay my state taxes and put it in the mailbox, I received my federal income tax refund check in the mail for $656. Not too shabby, really. (I deserve more, really.) My first impulse was to spend it on Jem dolls and Jem-related crap on eBay...but I'm holding off. I've got a car insurance payment coming up, plus license plates, plus emissions control testing all next month. Yippie-skippy. (*Note to self: speaking of Jem-related crap, I need to email Christy Marx about something.) I'm trying to be a little more conservative with my money. But that didn't stop me from slurging just a teeny bit on myself earlier today. I hit up the mall, debit card burning a hole in my purse. I ended up getting myself a new shirt and a new belly-button ring at Spencer's. (Jan, Erica and Doreen are still there. Yay!) I went to Ulta aaaaand....I'm going to be really brave, and since Hunter did it, I really want to do it, too....bought myself a blonde bleaching kit. I also ran into Christina at Starbucks, so she and I caught up a lit. (Yaaaay! Hadn't seen her since the last Rocky Horror showing!)

It's wonderful allergy season. I feel like absolute crap! *sticks out tounge*

But the big news.......

PUPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish I knew how to upload the pics from my cellphone onto the Internet so I could post the cuteness of Bo, but I don't know how, so I'll have to wait for my disposable camera to get developed. I love him! He's my new best friend! He'll be nine weeks old on Friday, so he really IS still a puppy, but he's so damn cute. Words cannot describe how cute he is, really.
