Mortgaging My Soul, Once Again

So, earlier today I posted that Travis and Jess did not end up getting chosen to adopt Maya.  Instead, Maya’s parents decided to keep and raise her with the help of their parents.  Which is the best alternative, mind you.  But still heart breaking.

I also mentioned that I wanted to spoil a little niece with pretty dresses and frilly things.  Like shopping at Macy’s and Baby Gap.

And, the gods heard my tapping on the keyboard and figured, “Hey, we haven’t kicked Casey in the nuts in awhile…” and kicking they did.

I got this coupon from The Gap today about getting 15% off when you use your Mastercard.  My first thought was, “Shit, I don’t have a Mastercard.  Wait, my bank’s debit card is a Mastercard.”  (Which, as a side note, I almost didn’t get a debit card and just a ATM card due to me never using the debit card.  I always just use my credit card due to me getting money back.  So, the gods were smiling on me at that point.)  But, then my next thought was, “This would have been so great to have when I would be shopping for the pretty baby things.”

Blah

I understand that this was probably the best thing to happen, but it still bites :p 

So, I heard from Jess and Travis that Maya’s birth parents have decided to keep Maya due to their parents helping them raise the child. Which, is hugely disappointing to Travis and Jess, along with myself. I was getting all excited to shop for lil’ girlie things the Day After Thanksgiving (known as the most holiest of holidays). However, being that it is disappointing, it’s also the best possible alternative scenario; Maya gets to stay with her birth parents. And, like what Jessica was saying, at least they didn’t have the opportunity to bond with the child beforehand because of it being such an unusual situation.

I just really wanted to spoil her rotten, ya’ know Was gonna go to Macy’s and Baby Gap and buy her super cute outfits. *sniff*. But hopefully that’ll come soon.

I don’t think there’s anything else going on around here though.

Ohh. Apparently Brandi’s (my sister, which will be known as Dirty Sanitary Napkin Lady, or DSNL) car is going to die or already dead. I don’t know these things about cars. The head gasket went out of it and she is looking for a new car. Due to her age and lack of credit, she has to get it from one of these buy here/pay here car places. And, the interest rate is gonna be 21%!!!!!!!!!!! And, she’ll looking at this 1995 Buick Regal with 95,000 and they were wanting $6,100!!! Travis looked on Kelly Blue Book’s website, and, at MOST, it’s worth $4,500 in EXCELLENT condition. So…I think they’re smoking crack if they’re gonna get anyone to pay that amount for that car. *rolls eyes* But, we shall see.

Travis just left to play with Jessica for awhile. So, I’m sitting here, bored outa my mind. I just really wanna hurt myself right now….soooooooo booorrrrreedddddd!
