I can has lots of clothes and shoes...
I got a clothes delivery today. Within that delivery was two pairs of shoes (boots, actually). I ordered two pairs of shoes (and a bag) yesterday, I COMPLETELY forgot I'd ordered the shoes I got today.
It's a sign I have too much money, or actually, credit.
Anyway, one pair of boots is going back. They're too big. The other pair is a little weird. The right one fits perfectly (same size as the ones going back, BTW), but the left one is tight but wearable. I'll probably be sending that pair back, too. I mean, why should I settle? I already have a pair of boots.
And isn't it MAY? I should be thinking about sundresses and shorts. Be pointless for me to wear either, since I have to stay *out* of the sun. But anyway, I ordered a size smaller than I usually wear. I got my 15 lb. star at Weight Watchers on Saturday. Say *squee* somebody! LOL The 1X's she fits. Of course, they're professional fat lady 1X's, which is roughly the equivalent of a 3X in normal clothes. I don't care. I look (slightly) better and I feel better, even though I managed to grind my left leg bones together at the joint (aka "knee") yesterday. Oh, my fucking GOD that shit hurt. *tears* Just what I need, something to remind me that I'm over 50. Nuts. :( I will probably have to go back for that cortisone shot sooner, rather than later.
So, my Mother's Day was marvelous, even though I had to do laundry most of the day. I talked to my daughter on Saturday, but my two sons called me on Sunday, plus I got a surprise call from my number one granddaughter Ashonte. Ashonte is 10, I think. (Sheesh, I can't keep up widdem.) She's so smart, I just love her to death. She asked me to send her more paints and paper and Playdoh, so I will. I'll call it a birthday present. ALL of my grandchildren (except the white ones) have their birthdays in the months of January, February and March! So right after Christmas I get slammed for birthdays. SO wasn't happening, so I can make it up to them when I get there.
Yep, I got my ticket. I'm going to Chicago during the Amgen summer shutdown. I'm leaving on June 28 and coming home on July 4. (Traveling on the holiday = cheaper ticket.) I managed to get a round trip fare for just under $300 on Frontier Airlines. I flew them before, they'll do. I can't wait to see all my babies, and I'll be there for a week so trust me, I won't be able to wait to get back home! LOL I was hoping Rich would be able to go, but he can't afford a ticket, so I have to leave him here alone. No telling what kind of devilment he might get up to, but I'm not gonna worry about it. I have my list of food places to hit when I get to Chicago. I shall eat sparingly of them but I SHALL eat them, since they don't exist this side of the Mississippi. (White Castle, I'm looking at you! :)
He'd thought there was plenty of time to list her as next-of-kin.
Isn't that a great opening line? :D I wanted to share that yesterday, but I don't know what-all I was into that I didn't get a chance to post (laundry, perhaps). I've got all 6 episodes of "Fortysomething" off Netflix so ripping those DVDs was probably what was keeping me busy. It's a British sitcom of sorts, starring and directed by Hugh Laurie. (I'm sure y'all saw THAT coming. :D) He is absolutely adorable in it, he plays a doctor (typecast?) who's in his mid-40s, his wife has gone back to work, HE can't get laid (and he really tries) but he has three sons who do nothing but fuck -- and the poor guy doesn't know whether to wind his butt or scratch his watch. It's just hysterical... well, I guess you have to be there, but I highly recommend it. Hugh Laurie: he's more than just House.
Speaking of House... OMGWTFBBQ it's on in approximately 1.5 hours. *spazzmatazz*
Shoot, I was going to say more about that opening line... Guh, when I digress I go all out. Anyway, not really much to tell. It's part of this Huddy fic I've been working on like, forever. See, the thing about fanfiction is you should never write anything until you've seen all the episodes at least twice, and your favorite episodes several times. That way you don't make foolish gaffes like I did in the first incarnation of said Huddy fic. *is embarrassed* I've started rewriting pretty much from the ground up, ironing out the faults, correcting the misapprehensions (using too many big words...). It's flowing MUCH easier, now, and I'm really loving it. Hmm, I should work on the other two, too, huh? Might be of more interest to you. I can barely get ANY writing done. [begin complaint] I write on my lunch hour. When I get home, I have to work out (which I didn't do today but I WILL do tomorrow), then I have to eat dinner and watch Keith Olbermann, and I have to have some couch time with Rich. We have these shows we *have* to watch, and then I have to go to bed. I'm healthier when I'm in bed at 10:00 every night, so I am. But it sure cuts into my writing time. :( One of my bosses will be gone for most of the month, and at the end of the month MOST of them will be gone, so I'll take advantage of that time mos' definitely. In the meantime, I'd like to get up early and do yoga tapes because I really loved doing them back I first got skinny. It's gonna be difficult to do a down-dog with all this BELLY, but the yoga may help belly go away. One may hope. I'm thinking of buying one of those futon frames that turn into a couch, so I'll have more room in my room. Rich wants to know what I'll do with the bed. I'm sure I don't know, I'll cross that chasm when I get to it.
Okay, I've yammered on long enough, just letting y'all know what's going on with me because that's what I do.
Smooches and kisses and
Peace out.
