Thursday is a Slam Dunk

Body: Again, my body is doing pretty well today. Not perfect, but as close as I ever seem to come.

Reading: I started Harald. So far it's good but not great. I do like the very laconic style.

Hearing: Music again. I did actually start the slow process of deleting/unsubscribing from podcasts.

Project Follow-up: I managed to get the veggies dealt with and only be 15 minutes late to the party, which was fun. Although, I do have to say that as cool as the idea of sunken tables is, I don't think they worked well in reality. The group had one more person than would actually fit so we had to split into two sub-groups, and sitting on the floor (and especially getting back up from the floor) is not kind to my knees.

Tonight's Project: Cat-sitting duties, dinner with the gang (or some fraction thereof), maybe some refrigerator pickles.

Cute Shoes (and other stuff)

After feeding Mark & Kristina's cats, my other goal for this evening was to get a pair of sandals for Pennsic. The first place I checked was Sears, and while they had quite a few pairs that looked like they should have worked, none of them felt right on my feet. They also had lots of shoes that were really cute and that I really want, but that I don't actually need right now. For example: would these not look wonderful with one of the fifties reproduction dresses I have on my Etsy wishlist? There were several similar pairs in that semi-retro style.

I ended up getting these, from Boscov's. I swear, I didn't notice the name of the style till I got them home!

Boscov's also had a wonderful dress: fitted bodice, V-neck, loose flowy skirt, about knee length. I liked the cut of it enough that if they'd had it in my size I would have tried it on and maybe bought it in spite of the fact that I don't need a new dress, it's not in my budget, and the color.

I think once I get home from Pennsic I'm going to budget myself a couple hundred dollars for a clothing binge. Buy some fun, cute stuff and get rid of some of my more worn out things.
