Epic quests
Gah, I remember why I don't like to go out on Saturday afternoons. Everyone and their brother was out. Plus a lot of St. Patrick's Day shit is going down tonight, so extra crazy on the side, please.
But I had a mission. I just got a new dress from eBay that I think is super cool (it's this dress) but *gasp* I didn't have the kind of necklace I wanted for it, so I went out on a quest. Stein Mart? Zippo, plus big sale so insane amount of people. Then downtown to my favorite jewelery boutique. Nada. Stopped off to buy a couple sugar-free chocolates. Ate one, felt vaguely sick.
Headed back uptown, stopped off at the plus-size consignment store. Went next door to the tea salon for a hot tea. Stopped at the campus Target just in case, although my earlier assessment that Target's jewelry in the last few years has sucked beyond the telling was confirmed. Came back to my neighborhood. Stopped at Filene's, nothing there. Went to Kohl's, where apparently all the good jewelry lives now. Found lots of stuff, not exactly what I wanted but one that would do (it's the one I'm wearing in the above linked photo).
Came home, breathed sigh of relief. Had a peek on eBay and in the first few pages of search results I found just what I was looking for. Sigh.
Tomorrow I'm planning to go downtown to an organ concert. One of the Big Churches is having in some organ master and I kind of like organ music so I think I'll go. I'll wear my new dress. :-)
