Today was a good but long day.
I went to bed early last night (10:30, on a Friday night!) and so managed to actually get out of bed right around 8:30 like I was supposed to. On the way to meet Carly at her place this morning, I stopped by the bank to deposit some checks that arrived yesterday. I got to Carly's a little later than planned (10:15 instead of 10:00), and the two of us went wedding and bridesmaid dress shopping. We went to Special Occasion Dresses up at 249 and 1960, and didn't end up finding anything there. So then we trekked over to BridesMart where Carly found a dress she liked and we managed to pick out the bridesmaid dresses (well, actually, they're the two-piece separates, but you get the idea). Unfortunately, I suspect that it is the (or very close to the) most expensive dress I've ever bought (with the exception of my own wedding dress, but my parents paid for that). Fortunately, since I got to help pick it, it's a style and color (purple) that I wouldn't mind wearing again if an appropriate occasion arose. Problem is I've got a couple of dresses like that sitting around now -- I also still have the one from Mardi Gras a couple years ago. And not nearly enough formal occasions to wear these things to. Ah well. ;)
The dress shopping took longer than either one of us had anticipated, so I didn't get home 'til about 5:00. At that point, I veg'ed on the couch with Sprite for a while watching a really bad movie (The New Kid) that happened to be on TV (it had Eliza Dushku...thus, the watching) and then went and grabbed some fast food for dinner. Then, I baked a batch of Spritz cookies to take to mahtab's party tomorrow. Finished the cookies around 10:00, and have been veg'ing on the couch with Andrew since then. We're getting ready to go to bed now. Early for a weekend, I know, but I was up earlier than usual for a Saturday, and it's been a busy day for me. I'm actually kinda wiped. Ah well....if I go to bed now, I might wake up early enough tomorrow to get a bit of housecleaning done before we head to Jamie's.
I will see Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire one of these days. I WILL!!!
