it's a sin to be fading endlessly
Oct. 7th, 2005 10:42 pmWhen the optometrist's office called me yesterday to let me know that my glasses had arrived--did I mention that I went to the eye doctor on Monday? Can't remember.--I gave in to impulse and desire and scheduled a pick-up time for this afternoon. And since they close at two on Friday, my appointment was scheduled for one, which meant that I regretfully had to leave work at eleven. SHUCKS. So, I have had a nicer-than-average day at work in that I wasn't there. Oh, and there was no faking it, leaving at eleven for a one o'clock appointment--my eye doctor is in Morehead. It's been three years since I've been there (yes, I am a bad, bad girl but these things cost $300 so I guess I avoid going to some degree.) so I didn't quite see the point of finding an eye doctor in Frankfort. I had a traumatic experience as a child with an optometrist who made me cry. I like to stick with what I know!
So, new glasses, lunch with my mom--which was good but would have been better if I hadn't found a hair in my sandwich, and better still if that hair wasn't found by taking a bite, feeling the strand and then pulling it out of my teeth. Yuck. Actually, I am lucky in that hairs don't wig me out that badly. I mean, it's gross, and I did send it back and get a new sandwich, but it doesn't bother me like it does some people. Anyway. It rained all day today and my hair was driving me crazy, so I thought that bad hair + afternoon off work + being in a town where I know where to go for these things without coming out crying, which yes, happened to me here = walking next door to see if someone could cut my hair. So, yes, new haircut, and new glasses, and then (after a few non-exciting hours) I had a DATE. With a MAN. I guess the man is usually referred to as my husband, but that is not nearly as scandalous. You could argue that it's kind of sad that we planned a date and then had fast food (eh, kind of. iChing, "Asian with Attitude") and then shopped for mixers at Bed Bath and Beyond, and in separate cars. Because.. we had to throw out our mixer this week due to a raw meat episode gone horribly awry. (But admittedly tasty. Just more expensive than we had planned. And eventually I'll stop talking about the meatballs.)
Speaking of which, though.. anyone has any ideas on what we should cook for our cooking night, if we have it this weekend? Or future cooking nights, at that. It doesn't necessarily need to be fancy big, just more than we would make on a weekday. (Since I had microwaved baked potatoes twice this week, fast food once and ate out tonight.. this is very open for interpretation. And if you are wondering why that adds up to four instead of five.. that's cause my short-term memory sucks. Apparently.)
In the meantime, I need to read more WoT (enter Faile, stage right. I was always vaguely annoyed by her along with everyone else but then M giggled and said that she reminded him of me and so I have grudgingly become a Faile fan. Actually, though, RJ writes female characters better than male characters in my opinion, so it's not too hard to like her.) Now I think we're just waiting for Aviendha and then the major characters will be introduced. I am so so behind for book 11! If I don't take a certain person's advice and just read it anyway..
