Got a modest loan from GK and got some generic Claratin (recommended by the pharmacist), a tube of hydrocortisone lotion, and a bottle of Listerine (recommended as an itch-fighter by AI), and AI was right, it smells a bit medicinal, but I'm definitely less itchy ( Read more... )

Thought I'd mention a couple compliments I got in passing. On Monday, someone asked to see my ID, and said the picture didn't look like me. I replied that yes, I looked scary-bad in that pic. She said no, it looked like I'd lost a lot of weight sine it was taken. (It was issued in 2007, so yeah, about 60 pounds ( Read more... )

Haircut is NOT what I asked for and I'm extremely unhappy about that. IDC if AI says she thinks it's cute and that it shows how much weight I've lost. It reminds me of the style my mom wore for my entire memory of her, and it looked better on her than it does on me. Grrr.

Dark Shadows: Meh. It was over the top camp. It would take itself seriously ( Read more... )

After church yesterday, I went to J's for more LOST (We've seen the first 12 eps) and side-tripped by way of Fashion Bug for some browsing.

I didn't got home to change first, so I had on what I wore to church: A brown tank top with brown bugle bead embellishment around the softly ruched neckline above a print shirt. This skirt---

I would fail! at being a Winchester. I went out and dug up the old post for the missing mailbox. It isn't like excavating a grave, it was maybe a foot and a half deep. Took me all of twenty-five minutes, not exactly a marathon ( Read more... )

There is a fence, finally. At least one of the little fuck nuggets has climbed it, but at least I can count on it stopping the ones who used it as a bike path. And, as J has pointed out, it adds to the value of my property, and at some point when I have a stable income, it will come in handy if I have a dog. So, yay ( Read more... )

When I got over to J's yesterday, a friend of hers had dropped by (complete with whiny offspring), so I got to sit around for a while trying to keep a cheerful smile stapled to my cheeks while they talked about paperwork and someone who's a thief and some DVD J is borrowing and on and on ( Read more... )

Enjoyed CapeCypsy's party this afternoon. It was a pleasant, low-key affair at her home, in the shade of a big oak tree in her yard. I hadn't been to her house before, which is VERY small, but cute and cozy inside. She's got two dogs; one is in love with me, because I know where to scratch. The other one was more standoffish, but her amiable cat ( Read more... )

I dropped by my bank this afternoon to take care of a little business. The temp being in the low 60s, I wore a long-sleeved grey and black top with black pants, grey shoes and the grey cloche hat I posted a pic of on Tuesday (but with a different pin ( Read more... )

Yesterday at work, I got a compliment from a Brand X customer! I must've spent 20 minutes with her, trying to find the specific size she needed (GOD, I wish we could search by size!) and finally coming up with a product that would work. She apologized for being grumpy, which I don't think she was---although after medical billing, they pretty much ( Read more... )
