I can't escape it anymore. I have to go shopping. Deliberately. Not in the 'oh, hey, there's an Old Navy next door!' sense or the 'Well, I'm in Target anyway, let's peruse the women's section.' In the, I need to go to a mall on a weekend (NOOO!!) or a weeknight and buy stuff. Like winter work pants, since I currently have 3 pairs that fit (and ( Read more... )

Oh my gods, y'all, talk me down off the ledge. I've got an immersion blender and a jar grabber in my shopping cart at amazon and I'm about to hit check out.

ETA: It turns out I ordered it when I thought I had a confirmation page. And while I could cancel that order... I'm taking it as a sign. Ooh, new shinies!

Friday was an insanely busy work day with a lot of cake, followed by Old Crow Medicine Show with stentoriansista, prettyprincessb and mareska. Having had very little contact with the band, I must say I had a good time! We went to The Red Derby (otherwise known as the awesomest bar ever) and had really tasty sweet potato fries while kind of watching some weird ass movie. I'm toying ( Read more... )

I forgot to mention... with my tummy being punky on Friday, I ate several Pepto Bismol tablets. I woke up Saturday morning to... a black tongue. It's one of the side effects of Pepto Bismol chewables, but it definitely freaked me out first thing in the moring, like... did I have a lot of grape popsicles?! And all I could think about was that story ( Read more... )

I cannot cannot cannot cannot canNOT spend $160 on the most adorable flats I've ever seen shoes.

Especially since they don't come in wide widths. Or my size.

It never ceases to amaze me what I can do by asking people. For example, I wanted a couple of pillow shams. I found them at bedbathandbeyond.com. I went to BB&B and they did not have them yesterday. I was miffed. I printed out the webpage, went back and asked an employee if they had them. They did not. They ordered them for me. I asked if I had to ( Read more... )

I am so freaking stupid tonight and I have a general contempt for humanity. Also, callers are assholes tonight. And my room is really messy. And my TV isn't getting reception for non-cable channels, so I CAN'T WATCH HEROES ( Read more... )

It has occurred to me that the sleeping bag (not mine) that I said I'd bring to the Becoming retreat this weekend is MIA. It also occurs to me that I might want a sleeping bag for future camping endeavors. It also also occurs to me that I just got my catsitting payment. Yes. I may buy a $30 sleeping bag in the near future. I figure I don't need one ( Read more... )

So, I returned the shoes to Payless and then went to my arch nemesis, H&M. I actually found a cute dress that might be too tight and might make me look like a tablecloth, but was $15, so I bought it. Now I think I need to make myself another boobholder in black to go with it. If I decide to keep it. Which I still am. Deciding, that is ( Read more... )

The shoes I bought at payless last month - the most expensive, comfy athletic shoe that I bought there ($25! ZOMG!)... part of the sole is coming off. I haven't even scuffed these up yet and part of the sole is coming off ( Read more... )
