I have accomplished things today! Well, I did stuff yesterday too, mostly to the tune of a METRIC FUCKTON OF COOKIES, but that's neither here nor there and is mostly, in the long run, just going to make me fat because there are way too many cookies in this house, with plans to make MORE. Oh god.
TODAY, though, I went and got my hair done, it's back to being dark red without highlights, except where the old ones are still peeking through the red and it looks really awesome. It's the first time I've used a different hairdresser in....years. Which was a bit scary, but ultimately okay because she was really nice and did a great job! I love how it looks.
Afterwards, I swung by Barnes and Noble to put in an application because, uh, I need something to do for a while here. And books would be a good thing! They're overstaffed right now, but that might change after the holidays and they'll keep my application on file. Driving back from that, though, I was going past Anne Taylor LOFT, aka my favorite clothing store which I was dressed in from head to toe, including my coat (okay, not the boots, still, you get the idea), so I swung in there and applied as well. That one looks really promising, actually, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed because discounts on my favorite clothes would be awesome. Not that I NEED more LOFT in my closet, as it already dominates, but I won't object at all!
I'm also thinking about getting new glasses after Christmas, because mine are about two years old now and getting my eyes checked regularly is pretty important for me, as they spent a long time changing constantly. They've pretty much leveled out in the past few years, but one can't be too careful, right? I can still see fairly well, but yeah. I've been thinking about getting contacts again too, I imagine they've made a few advancements since the last time I had them. I've got an astigmatism, so your typical contacts don't really work, I've had to use the toric ones which tend to be thicker and less comfortable as they are WEIGHTED and twist around if you lie down with them in. We'll see!
I've been seeing one of the guys from okcupid as well, and he's actually REALLY COOL, I like him a lot. We get along really well and he's into Doctor Who and Torchwood, which is a definite plus. As is the fact that he's cute and doesn't pester me constantly. I really appreciate the space, it makes me not freak out and run run run as fast as I can away from anything resembling commitment, as I am prone to do. I made him come over last night and eat some of that aforementioned metric fuckton of cookies. Sadly, it didn't even make a dent. It's a work in progress, man.
