Hmm, my first experience with lingerie...

Today was quite the interesting day, both for me and my good friend Sierra Tanton. I actually am a little dissapointed in myself because I spent like $240 and I only got 3 shirts, one pair of jeans, a winter coat and boots and a hoodie. That isn't very much. But at the same time, I did save a little over $100, which is impressive for me. It's interesting having money. It's a great learning oppurtunity, and a good way to practise self-control and personal management. I actually have so many ideas for my money. In my house it's very very hard to eat healthy, let alone eat at all because of my fat face brother who eats everything in sight. So due to my recent hiring at Safeway I have developed a new grasp on cost of living and such, THEREFORE I have decided that I will do my own grocery shopping. I will need a lock however, because my brother will eat my food all the time. This just in, I also have to pay $20 to the phone bill every month also because my parents don't want to have to pay for something they never use. I feel so old. Ugh.

Anyways, back to today. It was so much fun. Sierra and I went to West Edmonton Mall to buy me a winter jacket and boots and her boots, and to go on our long time planned lingerie shopping trip. So our first stop was La Vien Rose where we tried on just one thing each, Sierra tried on this shiny metallic dark purple silk short dress number, and I tried on this sort of dull purple/beige silk short dress, I was so close to buying it. Then we decided to move along. We weren't really going anywhere we were sort of just walking when we ran into Mist from camp ! It was so cool to see her! So we hung out with her for like an hour while we waited for her friends. We just randomly looked in shoe stores for boots and Garage for a coat and then we went to Thriftys where I ended up buying a coat, 3 shirts, jeans, and a hoodie and Sierra bought a pair of black skinnys. After that I went to Orange Julius lol and I saw a couple people from my math class, THEN we headed off and we randomly passed a store which I never noted the name of which sold MORE LINGERIE ! So we went inside and Sierra tried on this Corset thing and a lacy black see through in the stomach thing she liked and I tried on a corset which made me look ridiculous. Then we left cause everything was like $99. After we went to payless shoes and I bought myself some sweet overpriced boots. Our last stop was La Vien Rose on the second floor where Sierra tried this hilarious top that was like a bra with strings hanging down which didn't really cover her stomach and then the saleslady was teaching us how to move our hips and belly dance !! ROFL x 1000000 !! It was so much fun. I tried on this cool short see throughish black dress with a little like cover thing that covered my sides and chest. It was hilarious! I just stood there laughing. And then Sierra decided on a tiny brown vertical striped vest thing. It was so funny. She bought it and I laughed. So now our mission is to find me some piece on lingerie I'll never wear also. I'M SO EXCITED !

I'm actually crazy outgoing recently, not sure why. I'm really happy with my life right now. I just all around enjoy everything. I absolutely LOVE my job and my friends are so awesome. The only thing I hate is school. I really truly HATE high school, but oh well, only 7 more months. Isn't it wierd that it's going to snow soon ? I don't think I will ever get my fill of summer. I wasn't born to live here at all. I love summer too much. I guess I like winter too, but god there are just too many things to name that I miss about summer. I don't understand in the least why it had to end. I really miss the CIT's. You have no idea. I'm so glad I have such awesome friends to keep me happy here. In a way I kind of wish my entire life was summer camp... you know? Not like children everywhere and initiatives and 4pm swimming and like a vacation, but instead of teachers I have counsellors, I always have a lake AND a sauna nearby, I am surrounded by people all the time I'm never alone, I can go outside and play football with my friends everyday, and everyone accepts everyone because no matter what everyone's hair looks just as bad as yours, everyone elses clothes supply is running low so it isn't a fashion contest, you aren't competing for the hottest boyfriend because everyone knows everyone and you can be yourself, no make up, no cell phones, no money. You have what you have and it isn't a contest. Don't you think life would be so much better that way? Sure it would have it's downsides, but wow, camp was so my life. I was born to be at camp.

Anyways, not much else to report about the day, it was a good day deffinetly. I'm sad it has to end and I have school tomorrow but I get to wear my cute new shirt tomorrow, so I guess it isn't all bad.

Peace and love,

Celeste
