Accomplished . . .
Dec. 17th, 2005 04:50 pmChanged the kitty litter. Emptied the dishwasher. Went by the bank and made a deposit (always a good thing). Returned a couple of books to the library (yes, you're right, I checked a couple out as well). Picked up the dry cleaning I should have picked up a week ago. Got stamps at the post office. Bought my tree (5' spruce). Brought the stand and decorations up from the basement. And it's not even 11 A.M.!!
Now I have to decide where to put the tree. I usually have it in the living room, but for some reason this year I am feeling the urge to put it in the sunroom. We'll see.
Party tonight at Jim & Kevin's. Being me, I stopped on the way home from work yesterday to see if I could find something new to wear. I was planning to go to T.J. Maxx, but remembered that someone told me Casual Corner was going out of business. I stopped there first, and found a really lovely white silk overblouse: long floaty sheer sleeves, crossover V-neck, seam under the boobs. There were several hanging on the rack, the smallest was a 10 and I very nearly didn't try it on. But I did and though it was a bit big, I figured I could live with it. And then the saleswoman found me an 8. Yay! I'll wear it with my black silk slacks (one of my best purchases ever - I don't remember what I paid for them, but I've had them for years, have had the elastic in the waist replaced once or twice, and I wear them everywhere). I did stop at T.J. Maxx and tried on an incredible bargain of a dress, a $350 Gianfranco Ferré dress reduced to $25, a long, brick-red spaghetti-strap slinky of a dress. Unfortunately, it slunk in the wrong places. Clung where I didn't want it to, and was loose where I'd have liked it to cling. Ah, well.
