Evening

My roommate and I went shopping tonight.

I got some photos printed at Blacks, and am currently attempting to upload more to their website for pickup tomorrow.

We picked out some ornaments and lights for the Christmas tree I bought at the thrift store today. In another week or two we'll decorate and set up the tree.

I bought a very cute top. Sort of hippy or "gypsy" to use my roommate's phrase.

My new qualifications for shopping for clothing involve having to love everything about the item from the first glance in the mirror. This one fit that qualification and then some. I'm excited to wear it soon.

And now, I'm sitting here, my roommate sprawled on one couch, and me on the other, and we're watching "Miss Potter". She's eating cheesecake, and I had chocolate cake with mocha frosting. I'm blogging and attempting to upload pictures for printing. All in all a good way to spend an evening after a day of feeling somewhat stir crazy.

So, my mom was still sick, and we canceled our breakfast plans.

I went over, borrowed a car, and did errands instead.

Ikea - candles (my favorite tea lights were on sale!), a blanket, a cheese grater.

Thrift Store - bought a set of measuring spoons, and a Christmas tree for our house.

Dollar store - nothing very exciting - a few Christmas ornaments.

Bank - got cash.

Office Depot - photocopying for Sunday school tomorrow.

Then I headed back to my parents, picked my dad's brain to get his opinion on the work decision I'm trying to make, and he drove me home.

I think I'll go shopping tonight. I need some clothes for work, and some clothes for my trip to Malta.

And dinner, somewhere in there will be dinner.
