Coming at’cha every Sunday at noon Eastern Standard Time EST – here’s more creative content craziness from Jennifer Weigel…
It started with a pop. $1.23
Then I thought the meal deal would be better… I got a bacon cheeseburger and fries. $7.46
But I should have gotten a fancy coffee drink instead. You know, one of those frozen concoctions with syrup and creamer, and whipped cream on top. I chose a caramel toffee mocha latte, and, for the record, I chose well. $5.52.
But I still wasn’t satisfied, so I bought a pair of new shoes because I thought they would match the turquoise blouse I got as a gift from my aunt. (They didn’t, but they were on sale.) $23.78
I needed a dress to match the shoes, and I found a cute clingy little black thing made out of the softest silk-rayon blend. $54.23.
I simply had to wear my new outfit somewhere so I bought two tickets to see that new RaveGrrrl movie and took Pauline. We had a blast. $23.48
Then we dyed our hair magenta. $12.37
But I looked in the mirror the next morning and realized magenta wasn’t my color and that both work and my mother wouldn’t approve. I redyed my hair dark brown instead. $12.37
Perhaps a hobby would help ease my discontent, so I went to the art supply store and loaded up on a full set of acrylic paints, brushes, and a 16” x 20” stretched canvas. $117.82
Painting wasn’t as relaxing as I had hoped. In fact, it was downright messy. And the mermaid I was painting just wasn’t right – I couldn’t get the blue of her eyes to be laudanum enough. I felt even more frustrated than before I’d started. I needed a new hobby, something I could do while watching television. Like crocheting. 3 skeins of yarn, 1 book, and 1 hook later. $45.67
But there was nothing worth watching. I’d heard good things about that Can Haz cat meme anime series on Hazmat. 1-year contract, monthly fee. $19.95
I binge-watched the whole series in a night. But there wasn’t anything else I wanted to watch so I got that new Candy Crash Test Dummies video game. $19.99
And of course, the basic startup package didn’t have crap. I had to upgrade. $29.99
The game is really trippy. But I have absolutely no idea how to do anything in it and everyone else’s avatars are way cooler than mine. It’s not any fun starting out, just a string of frustrations one after another. But it does have a stellar soundtrack, so I bought the MP3. $4.99
I listened to the soundtrack on my ear buds while I walked around the park, just to get out of the house for a bit. Sitting on a wooden bench overlooking the pond, I watched the ducks swim around, diving for food below the surface and upending their white tails to moon everyone without a care in the world. I sighed and smiled as I sat in quiet contemplation, becoming one with the ducks and the pond and the bench, the afternoon sun enveloping my skin in its warmth. I closed my eyes and breathed in and out with the scenery. I hadn’t even noticed that the music had stopped. $0
