Ok my friend is turning 13 this month and she loves fashion (forever 21, ulta, gilly hicks, hollister, abercrombie, etc.) and I dont know what to buy her!!! in past years I knitted her a purse with her initials on it, made her a movie basket (dvd, candy, popcorn…), and got her an airbrushed tshirt with her name on it.

this year she started getting all the teen vogue and seventeen magazines and stuff like that and i don’t know what to do!!

she has a favorite band but getting tickets is too expensive and she has all their CDs (black eyed peas) and tshirts of them

please help me!!! i have one week her bday party is the 7th!! thank u!! <333

too much chaos, and most of all $$. we’re are not wealthy. but we can still afford some luxeries once in a whillee… like going to the movies, eating popcorn, and sometimes, once in a while for really special occasions like my birthday, we even get to go bowling.

so i have had bday parties when i was 1,2,3, 5, 7,and 9, and 10 and 11. i am now 14. so i decided to finally do something nice, because i missed my 13th.

so i tell my parents i want a party. they say okay. so my mom tells me to buy whatever i want, and not to look at the prices because she feels guilty. so i say fine. i buy a whole bunch of stuff in every store i go to and this is the pricing.

btw 10 girls are coming!!
grocery shopping: 2.08– wth? how did that happen? we bought milk, eggs, doughnuts, bagels, creamcheese, and icecream, and frozen pizza. oh and candy and chips. we already have bread, peanutbutter, and jelly at home.

entertainment:
a movie- .99
a rented kariokie machine-

fun:
got my hair done- including tip!!! so expensive…. but really nice treatment.
got my nails done- and 2 dollar tip.
got nailpolish for the party- (got 7 shades)

how expensive? we’re keeping them for an entire 24 hours. i have no idea what to do.

so kariokie, painting our nails, what else? oh yeah, we’re taking a walk. we have music so maybe a little dancing.

and the movie i rented. ugh this is so annoying and overwhelming help!!! what can i do for cheap or low money???!?!?!

Ok! So my little sister, (turning 11) is having a Jonas brothers/Camp Rock birthday party. We really need ideas for the birthday party. We have the Disney Sing it Wii game, a "Guess that Jonas Brothers song" game that I made by burning some of their songs on one CD, and the girls split up in teams and the first one to guess the Jonas Brother’s song wins.
But that is all. We really need ideas. We do not have a kareoke machine, and we can’t buy one right now with the "economy" and stuff. We are also going to watch Camp Rock and High School Musical 3 at night with popcorn, ice cream, and candy.
But can you guys please help me, even if you don’t like the Jonas Brothers?
Please, do it for my sister. I really want her birthday to be special.

Halloween is MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE HOLIDAY EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
STORY TIME!
its really fun and i love the candy part and the wind blowing at night. it sometimes scares the hibidabajeebies out of me which is good. sometimes i become so cautious that even the slightest branch that touches me scares me! last year i started crying cuz something touched me and i was SUPER SCARED! Im 12 and it was embarrassing. i love going to houses that have the BEST CANDIES like a bar of snickers or a whole bag of SKITTLES. i usually choose the best ones if they let us choose. I love the houses that are decorated and its like a path that you down like a Haunted House. and then as i was coming out, there was this man in a chair telling me to come over there and it was real. i just left quickly and took the candy. i also love those houses that have those halloween doormats that talk!!! Usually every year, i go to about 30-40 houses and i do tricks. lol their lame but… funny. I went last year with some friends and *sigh* good times, good times! After that, we go home and dump all of the candy on the floor and mix it up and i take all the good ones! and then, out of bed covers we hang the bed covers in a way to make a fort/tent type thing and get a flash light, make sure everything is dark and tell scary stories and then we make popcorn and kettle corn the OLD FASHION WAY in that pot thing and get pillows and blankets, stay in the fort/tent and watch a scary movie while eating candy!!! YAYYYYYY!
this year im going with the same friends and im going to be a DEVIL! and im 13 and i cant wait for HaLLOWEEN! YAYYYY

The end!

what’s your story of how you spend that one night a year!

oh and i forgot to add: we watch movies like Edward Scissorhands and Hauted House. etcc… HALLOWEEN MOVIES!

They built a new school in front of my house, the entrance for the school is right across from my door and I always see people bring their little carts of candy, chips, corn, and all kinds of other crap to sell to the kids after or before school. My dad bought one of those giant popcorn machines that you can move anywhere for our family. So I’m thinking of selling popcorn and little soda cans to see how much I can make. I don’t want to take the kids’ money, so I want a fair price, the bags are pretty big, bigger than the hot cheeto bags, and the sodas are cheap, i get them 3 for a dollar. I dont know if to charge for a bag of popcorn or 75cents. Or maybe I can make like a little combo. A bag of popcorn and soda for 1.50? 1.25? I dont know.. I’m not spending so much, so i feel guilty charging them too much. BUt i do have some debts to pay and it is work.. what would you do?
Its not a full time thing. Its only certain hours, like at 3:00 when they come out of school. I’m not going to be standing there all day. It will probably be 1 hour a day. I was thinking about getting the permit, it only costs 75 dollars, but then again, Its L.A, no one has a permit, if they tell me to leave, i’ll just go inside. I’m really clean, its my popcorn machine! I’ll try it out for a week, if it goes well, I’ll get the permit. Thanks for the suggestion.

Okay, so im making a media room(Theater) in my house, i have already bought,
A couch
Popcorn Machine
Butter Dispenser
Plasma TV
I need like Cheap decoration, and also a cheap candy counter, if not a counter like a display case. i dont want to spend thousands to hundreds of $ on these items, also anything else would help too. Thanks

i am doing a festival booth selling popcorn and other candy. for the popcorn i need a machine that is around 30$ that looks like a popcorn machine. i want it to be one that doesnt take forever to pop a little bit. I need to buy it in stores. i like this one but the reviews for it are bad. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Old-Fashioned-Movie-Time-Popcorn-Maker/1744738#ShortReviewTitleBar
