Yay for this article on Slate. Richard Griffith was awesome in History Boys and while maybe not Oscar worthy, the reasons that Slate gave for being overlooked are very, very true.
Oy.
I am freezing my buns off here at work and feeling wonky enough that I may skip yoga. I just want to go home and sleep.
Yesterday I spent $200 on stamps for work and $40 on shoes - I realized on Monday that my workout sneakers have a huge crack in the sole when I was walking on the snow and suddenly had a wet foot. I got them from Target for $13 right before London and have gotten decent use out of them - maybe not enough for normal shoes, but good enough. I also got a nice pair of wedges for dressier/work shoes. I got some flats at Old Navy last week that fit fine in the store but are now too big to the point where I'm falling out of them. At least they were only $8. Credit card bill this month is going to be huge - I've racked up $660 of work expenses, plus the dentist, plus a couple of big ticket items... ugh.
I also picked up my bridesmaid dress, which I haven't tried on its latest iteration - the latest alteration was just adjusting a roushing line so I didn't look pregnant, so that's fine. By the way, I highly recommend Ellie's Bridal in Alexandria - they've been awesome throughout this whole ordeal. I've done 3 fittings with them without incident.
I'm having a first and leaving my computer in DC for the trip - it just doesn't make sense to take it. So, I'll probably be incommunicado for the next few days.
Ugh. Tired and nauseous. Skipping yoga.
Two new knitting projects on the rise, one of which is secret. The other is knit fuzzy dice for work's silent auction and just proves you can find a knitting pattern for everything.
