Bartering

Today's Writing Prompt: Barter

Write about a trade, exchange, or barter you have made.




okay.. so this has been pretty good timing. a friend of mine from high school and i are around the same size so we tend to trade clothes frequently.. which works out well since i'm in a bind with my cousin's wedding coming up next week. so i asked her if we could swap some dresses (keep in mind i told her it was for the wedding and wanted something fancier). so.. of course she brings me all her beach dresses that she hasn't used for quite awhile from the looks of it. and of course i bring her all of my nicest dresses.. and she takes them ALL! and keep in mind.. she is NOT very good at returning quality items, if you catch my drift!! oh man.. i better get them back! but i was so so desperate for a dress and so so broke. so now i'm still so so desperate and so so broke, but now also left with so so many less options thanks to my ol' pal. oh.. and the picture isn't of the aforementioned friend, but i'm wearing one of the dresses that is now gone. indefinitely. :'( auē nō ho'i ē! auē nō ho'i au!




thank you for my one-minute vent session :) much better now!

One-Minute Writer

okay okay so i know i've been seriously slacking on this blogging thing.. but i found a new source of inspiration: The One-Minute Writer. feel like you need some nudges? this place has got it.. too bad i'm not feeling all that inspired to indulge them at the moment. why? i've been applying for a new job.. more important. one that's full time. with a guaranteed full work week (40 hours) and... stellar benefits. i'm sooooo DONE qualifying and unqualifying and then paying so much of my benefits out of pocket when my hours aren't even set in stone. aghhhhh!!
