I have been thinking a lot about clothes I had growing up (I was always happy with what I had) as I had 3 older girl cousins and 2 older sisters, so I had a lot of hand-me-downs.
My adoptive Mom just had to get me socks and underwear. This was the 80's and 90's so my faded black jeans were "cool" and stylish. Once I had a female classmate ask me how I got my clothes so "cool" and I explained they were hand me downs and had been worn for years before reaching me. She went "Ew" and treated me like a leper after that but I didn't care.
I also liked thrift shops I was always finding cute stuff, but as I got older I became a bigger size than my stepsister so I had to get my own stuff. And they were a little lacking in that; to the point Ron said I had a "scrawn" of clothes when I moved in with him.
I have friends in apparel so I get good deals now. My current favorite pair of jeans are a faded black flare leg, high waist, with a seam on the front of the leg. They are so comfortable and I feel very stylish wearing them. I will have to put up a photo of me in them sometime.
On a totally different subject, I was aghast last year when I went to CA and could not find any pinata mix or assorted individually wrapped candy. So this year I have bought a 5 pound bag of the "Tueni" mix that I will take. I am debating what sort of evangelism stuff to bring. Dad said something about them having Gospels of John. But I may just buy some "Invitations" (New Testament) and have them shipped to their house. That way I know I'm set. I am sure I can get baggies there so not worried about that.
I am currently working on laundry and will then work on cooking and cleaning later today while still trying to have some fun as well.
That's it for now.

God you must be annoying as hell to have as a visitor. Why can't you just go on a vacation and leave the candy and handouts at home? If your parents want to do what you do they are free to do it anytime they want to.
I hope you bring that pretty dress you bought to your parents. Maybe your mom can take you out for a day of beauty to get your hair cut and styled.
Maybe they can help you sign up for medical insurance?
Well as near as I can figure I will have to go for Medicaid. That has to be done locally.
