But I am here now to do some kind of simplified epic update of sorts:
1. Went shopping last weekend with Just Sayin' - awesome woman, funny, gracious and witty - you should check out her blog. We weren't successful shopping though - and this is where I will say, if you ever are having a meh day shopping, try it again. Case in point - I was trying on some dresses and in the end I was in like with them, but not love and the prices while reasonable, weren't eye catching. The same with some shoes I saw... and so on and so forth. However,
2. Went shopping with A (new roommate) and we did extremely well at the B and JF. At JF I purchased a black trench, 2 cardigans and a dress for X's graduation or his niece's christening all for 100 with tax. At the B, I purchased a pair of Nine West heels and a pair of Ralph Lauren dress stilettos for 180 with tax - saving $90 due to sales. Before I have X or Ms. J down my throat - the Nine West are black peep toe pumps, useful for EVERYTHING and the dress stilettos? They go with my NYC dress!! The darn well annoying to find shoes for Grecian purple/cornflower blue dress bought in Greenwich Village.
3. Started studying for the GRE again, this time I need to find the desire to just do it. I will let you know if that desire is at the bottom of my Americano
4. Started contact lenses. I have access to free contacts with my job, and figured it is high time I get used to them so I am not doing the glasses/sunglasses thing all summer - seemingly having one on top of my head and the other on my face at all times...
5. My soon to be ex-neighbour has apparently found herself a girlfriend after the last 4 years of really minor dating. Fabulous right? Well see the thing is, they like to shag really loudly every Saturday morning. And to the men who think it's a turn on, it's actually frightfully embarrassing to hear it with the clarity as if I was standing next to their bed. I have found that I need to either stay in bed until about 10:30/11 or go for a run and then return to my room with noise.
6. I have become the town whore in a FB group that a mentee of mine set up. She's young, naive and green as they get - all the things I was at her age (well less so but close enough) and she's asking very personal though important questions of those women older than her. The problem is these are the kind of women who believe feminism is evil, birth control - of any form is abortive (Lord have mercy on my soul for the anger that statement causes to swell), and that courting not dating is the way to go and that dating in general is wrong. I could honestly write a whole blog in and of itself on all the craziness that is their beliefs and how they have NOTHING to do with my faith or anything. However, I've come to realize that they're what seasoned users of social networking call trolls. And you don't feed the trolls. So I might just feed you all my answers as to why I think birth control is a good thing, or why I think we should date and no date does not equal screw the entire human race, contrary to some people's opinions *le sigh* I am cutting myself off, you get the point
7. Oddly I know there is lots more but that's about it for now
Today's Song
wow thanks for the very kind shout out.
ReplyDeleteI'm sooo glad to hear your second shopping trip proved to be succesful. woot woot!!
Ew. I know all too well the sounds of two women having sex sounds like. An old neighbour was very vocal. This is a very large part of why I choose to sleep in the middle (smaller) of my two bedrooms. The large bedroom shares the wall with the neighbours bedroom. :(
Lets us know how you make out with the contacts! Good luck.
Gah I am so sorry you too have to know what that sounds like. I like my neighbor, she's sweet and quiet and quirky, but she sure isn't that in those moments and well enough said.
