This morning bluesmarty13 and I went to the mall to shop for Rita, whose birthday party is this evening. I thought it would take me a long time to pick something out, but I found something at the first store we went to (some pajamas with owls on them; yeah, they are as weird as they sound, but I liked them). Of course, I ended up buying some stuff for myself. We went by Barnes and Noble and I bought "Commodore Hornblower" and "Villette." I have been working on the copy of "Villette" that I got from the library, but it has been difficult because it doesn't have any sort of notes or translations for the French sections, which I have to just skip over and come back to later when I can use an online translator. The copy I bought today does have translations, so I will be able to read it all through without stopping every other page and trying to guess what they are saying.

I really wanted to go by the fabric store to look at stuff for a possible version of this dress. However, my mother really wasn't up to it, and it would have been my third trip there in the past two weeks. Maybe next weekend...
