Haven't been posting much about my life lately.
Monday: I did my yoga for a good 40+ minutes. It had been a week and a half or more, so it felt very, very good. To celebrate yoga and the new season of Heroes, I ordered a pizza from my favorite pizza place. I got it with spinach and onions, and walked up the street to pick it up. Then I watched most of the premiere of Chuck and all of Heroes while enjoying said pizza and some chocolate chip cookie dough. Then I looked at the huge stack of poems I recently printed out and sorted them into groups of 5 appropriate for sending out as submissions. I have I think 24 packets I can send out. I have never sent out work in such bulk before. I need to buy more stamps. Overall, I felt very accomplished by the time I went to bed Monday night. Which was late, because a friend was in need of comfort, but that was OK.
Tuesday: I wrote out 24 SASEs on the train to work. After work, I drove to the Bridal Suite in Lansdale to get my dress fitted for Amy's wedding. We ordered the dress back in May--the one they had at the store was a size 8, which fit well but I felt it was too tight (in an unable-to-breathe kind of way), so I ordered a size 10, and then immediately began to worry that the dress would be way too big and need super alterations. So, as soon as Amy told me the dresses were in and I knew when I'd be picking it up from her, I made the appointment for the fitting (Shelly at the Bridal Suite had fitted me for my dress for Missi's wedding). I did not try on the dress after picking it up from Amy, until I put it on on Tuesday. It fit perfectly. Perfectly. I jumped about and leaned way over and everything, and the dress and my various parts stayed where they should be. I will need to get it pressed, because there's a bit of a pucker on each hip, but Shelly would've had to charge me $25 or so to fix it and I'd have to get it pressed anyway. I should make sure to drop it off for that this weekend. Anyway, Shelly congratulated me on a nice fitting dress and didn't charge me a dime. Woo!
After the surprising dress fitting, I met my dad for dinner at Jim's Buffet. Pretty standard Chinese buffet restaurant, but the food was really very good. We each filled up (and subsequently emptied) several plates of food, and then sat and chatted for a while when we were done. We got to Jim's at 7:15 and didn't leave until 9:00, when we were the only non-Chinese people left in the building. My dad and I don't get to spend time together like that too often, so it was really nice. I like my dad. Overall, a really great evening. Then I started worrying about crazy things on the drive home and had to distract myself by reading that Diana Wynne Jones novel for an hour and then I got to bed really late. Oh well. It was still a nice night.
Wednesday: My regularly scheduled every-other-week volunteer gig at HSP. I am still reorganizing the file system. I have made it through 2.5 drawers of files and still have about that much left to go. I just finished J and will move on to K next time. Progress. Then on my train ride home I ate a cookie and talked to Miles, Samantha, and my mom. When I got home, I watched Gossip Girl (possibly my new shameful addiction?) and got to bed early. Yay!
Side note on TV: For some reason I'm enjoying having a TV schedule. It's kind of refreshing. Mondays, Chuck and Heroes; Tuesdays, Beauty and the Geek; Wednesdays, ANTM and Gossip Girl; maybe Thursdays, Without a Trace. The reason it's enjoyable is because all of these shows are completely expendable except Heroes. That's the only one I really care about, but I am enjoying the others and having fun watching them. Which I think is the whole point. It's nice to have shows that I watch without getting obsessive about watching shows.
To do this weekend:
- drop the dress off somewhere to get pressed (which would be a fun thing to shout at someone: "Get pressed!"), with specific instructions as to hip puckers
- decide which poem packets are going to which journals
- pay bills! whee!
- continue the Great Shoe Hunt at the KoP DSW
