Well I was notified our final was today in class instead of next week LOL. I absolutely did not review chapter 12-22. I got a 99 percent just based off my memory. THANK FUCK.

Girll I always thought Shein was a scam with their ads. Is it good clothing like the photos?

Love Shein!! Just skim the reviews, usually the items with dozens or hundreds of good reviews and photos are the best. Some of it can be made of thin fabric, (think Amazon quality) so keep that in mind. Also the higher priced (but still cheap) stuff is usually better quality than the "dirt cheap" side of the spectrum. :)
Sometimes I do end up modifying some items like replacing buttons or adding lining with my sewing machine, but I do this with almost everything in my wardrobe when needed, anyways. They have a lot of cute trendy statement pieces and overall things fit me well so I still think it's worth it! The lingerie is so pretty too, some of it's not durable for the club but it's so cheap you can replace it after a few wears anyways :P
Also invest in a hand steamer, they're like $20 off Amazon and make all your clothes look so much nicer but especially "fast fashion" things :) I got this dress (https://us.shein.com/Allover-Floral-Print-Off-The-Shoulder-Shirred-Layered-Hem-Dress-p-4795362-cat-1727.html) for a spring/summer date and it looked cheap and wrinkly until I used my hand steamer on it. Lol I'm adding to this thread, I'm grateful for my hand steamer, love that thing.

Grateful that I cleaned my entire home, did 3 loads of laundry, and made my weekly goal on cam.
I'm taking my birthday off, so I wanted to get everything done. I'm planning on going to a concert that night.
Grateful the summer dress I ordered just arrived. It's going to be over 100 degrees, so this will be perfect to wear.

BD started crap with me because our 2 year old was whiny and tired. BD for some reason gets violently angry about anyone crying. He started screaming at her and I told him to shut up, as I went and rocked her to sleep. As soon as I put her to sleep and came back out to the living room, he started screaming at me about how dare I let her cry when I know it makes him angry. His yelling woke all the kids up. I told him to GTFO and that I absolutely cannot stand his temper anymore. He said that he's moving out tomorrow! He's been packing his stuff. Hallelujah!

Grateful that I got a free car wash today.
There's a new employee there who hand washed my car, and he's so hot! Totally my type.
He has the best swagger, and #BDE
I'm so shy that all I could say was, "Are you new here? How do you like working here?"
Fuck my life! Lol
I also got an email from the gas company telling me that I have another credit and don't owe anything this month.
I take these blessings as birthday gifts, because the guys on cam treated me like dirt when I told them it was my birthday week.
Never again.
Live and learn. :-\

Grateful that I can go to work this week!! I used to dread going into the strip club but I realized lately I've been EXCITED to get into work. :) I saw someone on this site reframe going to work as "self-care" (and most of it has been gratefulness, honestly) and ever since I've done that now I can't wait to get there.

Love this! It's so much better when you're genuinely happy to be there.
I feel you, I was excited to get back to my old club and start stripping again tonight. Grateful that it all went smoothly and that I'm older/wiser, so that it's not nearly as intimidating or emotionally draining as it once was.

1. Funny how we are complete goddesses and seductive queens on cam and irl we act like teenagers :))) I am happy to be in a serious relationship, because I can naturally talk to any hot man without being flirty or thinking about making a good impression, since I am the loyal type and for some reason, I cannot even feel atracted to them, so no "pressure" into being likable. On cam, tho...I have no problem with customers opening their cam, but when's a cute one, I just wish I didn't see him. I immediately chicken and act stupid, like my brain doesn't want to do the work anymore and I hate that I have to interact with him :)))
2. My members love spoiling me anytime of the year. Except my birthday. I learned my lesson, I don't even cam on my bday anymore, I take time off and enjoy family time.
3. Happy birthday, wohooooo!!!

Yes, all of that is very true.
Thanks for the birthday wishes.
My dad died on my birthday 15 years ago, so it's a bittersweet day for me.
I was going to spread some of his ashes up at the lake, but I can't part with them, so decided not to do it.
I always take my birthday off, and never cam, but I thought maybe if I mentioned it was my birthday week, guys would spoil me.
Ha! No such luck.
I do a very unique show when a customer has a birthday, and I always give him videos.
There's a saying that I refer back to.
"Not everybody has the same heart as you do."
How very true.

Grateful for 2 years no drinking. I always felt like I didn’t deserve to stop because I had so many years without consequences. So when shit got bleak I thought I was getting my payback. I didn’t want to turn into a judgey hypocrite. I grew up around both addiction and recovery, I saw poor role models with both. I’m learning that it is ok to be my own role model.
Grateful that I was able to give my mom a home in the fancy urn I got her. Grateful I was able to do it by myself without breaking down. Been putting it off for a few days and figured Mother’s Day would be the day.

I'm sad to say that the pastry sucked.:'(:' I only ate half of it. :yuck:I thought Panera Bread was supposed to be delicious. :-\
Maybe since I went close to closing time, the pastry was stale. I wanted the brownie, but they were out of them.
I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but I could've saved myself the trip over there, and made it better at home.

Happy birthday! Idk if I did wish you already, many on the forum had their bdays recently haha.
I hear you with home made vs bought stuff. It happened to me too, to feel unsatisfied with something and actually making it myself. I kinda have a list of things that worth being ordered vs worth being made at home, because I can't find anything that tastes as I imagine, haha. And I eat that rarely, so totally ok to make them at home.

They were $16.87 at Walmart. I'm a HUGE Walmart hoe. You need a pairs. They're made by Wonder Nation in the girl department, lol. It's so odd because I normally wear women regular size 7 1/2 or 8 depends on how narrow shoes are. These were size five for young girls. So weird.
I've never had their sweet cream foam. I just get my usual iced coffee. I love Starbucks so much.
Your screen name cracks me up!

The safe parking crew told me that I'm their "favorite" Lol! I'm kind to them bc I see the other homeless folks be critical and rude to them. I get being homeless can make one cranky, but come on! These volunteers go above and beyond, cleaning the porta potties, giving us new blankets and hot meals, not to mention saving us $1000s in fines. Anyhow..
It's nice to know that I'm liked by the volunteers. It's nice to go somewhere and be liked.
