I haven’t written on this blog for a very very very long time… and to be honest, I’m not even sure WHY I haven’t been writing lately. I know I’ve certainly had a lot to talk about… plenty of crazy events, strange mishaps, sweet surprises from God, and all sorts of interesting happenings… but I tend to get lazy sometimes, and the things that are low on the priority list are the things that get thrown off the wagon – if you know what I mean.
Instead of catching you up on the last two months of my life, why don’t I just start at yesterday, and we’ll work from there… then, when necessary, I can fill you in on what you’ve missed, k?
ok.
So yesterday was an interesting day…
I woke up early (as usual) and then went back to sleep after my prayerline was over. Then my pastor called me at 830, to see if I had made the phone call he asked me to make at 10 the night before. Then my mother called to tell me that she was coming over and would take me downtown if I wanted to go (which, of course, meant that I would drive and she would ride in my car).
I had been wanting to go downtown to the garment district for a few days because I really wanted to get some oversize flowers so that I could make a couple of brooches to take with me to Memphis… I found a some really cute ones that I will upload later so you can see. Anyway, we were in the fabric store for what seemed like forEVER, partly because I couldn’t make a decision, partly because my mother INSISTS on chatting up everyone we come in contact with, and partly because our original sales lady left so we had to wait for the new guy to flirt with some customers that came in AFTER us before we could pay. I said all that to say that it all took so long that my meter ran out of money and I got a ticket… from a cop on a bike.
After downtown I went to meet up with Eryn so that we could have lunch at Nijiya and get our nails done. It was actually really fun, and quite tasty (I’m going to make a habit of taking pictures of these things and posting them)… we had these cute little petite sandwiches… some with tuna and some with ham, and then we had pork dumplings, and coffee (well, I had a vanilla cappuccino that tastes like yummy vanilla tea – because I LOATHE the taste of coffee… seriously). Anyway, after lunch, we got our nails done – and I fussed for about 1/2 hour because Eryn’s nails are in the sample book, like, 30 times, and mine are only in there once…. tsk tsk.
Then I met up with my god-mom Rosemary at the Elephant Bar for dinner. We had such a nice time talking, laughing… just catching up. Then we went across the parking lot to the most ridiculous Target I have ever been to… EVER… their plus-size section was a joke. To their credit, however, they did have a lovely supply of textured tights (which technically didn’t come in my size, but if they’re textured [like fishnets] and not the solid opaque tights, they stretch enough to fit plus size girls – *consider that a free “Fluffy Fashion Tip” *)… so the trip wasn’t a total waste.
I came home and waited for my cousin to bring her daughter over to my house so I could babysit for the night. Jayda (that’s the daughter) spent the night with me so that I could take her to school this morning… she’s so little… she looked so cute in my big bed, all nestled between the comforter and pillows… made me want kids for a minute… lol
I cleaned my desk at work today, which was a feat in itself.
When I get off, I need to go to the post office, the educational supply store (I have a Christmas bulletin board I need to do this week), and the grocery store (I’m making cream of mushroom chicken and rice tonight).
If I think about it, I’ll blog again tomorrow…
