Just came back from Steve and Barry's. I know it is total sweatshop clothes and I am sure the 8 year old Malayasian kid that made my jeans is not understanding at all of how completely appreciative I am, but seriously.... I got a decent pair of jeans, with some style, with some stretch, with the right length for like 10 bucks. It is crazy and I totally know how they do it, but I can't fault them for it. Its a great concept and I walked out of there with the aforementioned jeans, two sweaters, two shirts and a necklace for (without tax) under a hundred dollars. OH and a dress, sorry forgot about the dress.

Who needs Macy's 500 dollar jeans that don't fit but are "branded". Nuh uh... no thank you. I tried on a pair of Seven of Mankind jeans the other day... 200 bucks... I could not get them over my thighs (ok that is an exaggeration but still) and they were probably the largest "size" they had. No thank you. Who spends that kind of money on jeans? Why would anyone spend that kind of money on jeans?

In other news from my world... worked all week on this out of office meeting for three days. It was great but exhausting. I learned alot which was really great, but seriously it takes it's toll on me. I wanted to lounge around in bed all morning but my cousin called and that forced me into action. I was really hoping to be rolling out of bed right about now actually but no worries. I got great clothes instead of rest.

I have a dinner event tonite for a friend's birthday. I thought there would be family drama with it because it is my Grandma's birthday today too (even though she isn't with us anymore, I am sure my Mom has it on the front of her mind) and even though everynight we go to dinner this would be different of course, but so far she hasn't said anything about it. I think the tide may be turning emotionally which isn't a bad thing at all. I am glad because I can have a night of deliciously prepared wonderfulness without feeling guilty at all. Its a really good thing.

Good job vibes go out to someone special by the way... thinking really good job vibes dude.

Oh and it happened. The paths are beginning to diverge. At some point they are going to cross and I think... I think honestly that I might be prepared where as before I might not have been. I got the first glance in that I know of and I can say with sincere honesty... I am not concerned. Sorry to be so cryptic, but this is all public and whatnot. Just know... I am going to be all ok when it does happen.

"Shrug" almost hit me with his car yesterday too. Totally blew through a stop sign. Missed me walking to my car by like 5 feet. He got out and was completely apologetic but dang dude....then he asked me out. What? Is? That? He was swarmy, funny I don't remember that when we went out before. He has my number, he can call. And he will, I just don't think I will say yes because it wasn't all that good. I wonder how his dog is though. I didn't even ask. I guess we have that to talk about if I go.

OK off to fold laundry and catch up on some tv. Happy weekend y'all! I will be hopped up on Ethiopian coffee should you need to find me later...
