making a list passing out twice
My feet hurt.
I spent 5 hours walking around looking for presents. My friend B and I met up and did some present hunting.
I bought the dog some skin repair spray that is full of the same ingrediants that are in several of my favorite herbal teas.
I bought J a Bodum single serve tea thing. But only after I had bought a more expensive version at the house of tea along with two different kinds of loose tea. I dont know what their return policy is so hopefully I can get my 39.95 back. Ouch.
How can a tea mug with filter be 40 bucks? Then I walked a couple of blocks north and saw the Bodum one, the exact one J asked for, for only 19 bucks. grrr. I hate returning things.
I also bought him this gin that is the most expensive gin carried in Ontario.
Its over proof and comes in its one box. I swear that gin better taste so awesome that I orgasm from one sip.
um. yeah thats it.
gin, tea and a tea mug thingy.
one week left.shhhhh.
i did try to go get socks at the fancy man store but realised I dont know what size J's feet are and if Im paying 30 dollars for some high faluting socks then I better make sure they fit.
Mostly me and B made fun of people we saw. We went to Holts and saw many people who looks hilariously hidious.
fish lips, faces pulled tight and smooth, bleachy blowouts, all in various crazy outfits that cost more than cars.
Our favorite was the girl wearing black leggings,Marc Jacobs moon boots, giant Dior sunglasses, a vuitton bag, a chanel bomber jacket, orangy fake tan and extensions. She was with her mommy and daddy...and probably wasnt old enough to drive. I suggested we find out where she goes to school and roll her for her purse/boots/hair.
We saw a woman in red head to toe.
She went into a store as we were coming out and I shouted in a crazy voice "RED! RED! FOR THE HOLIDAYS!"
I think she heard me.
Then to top it all off we went through another department store and I saw a perfume I have been meaning to smell, Tierry Muigler's Alien...so I go up and spray it on the paper provided and instantly out of nowhere there is this middle aged incredibly on fire gay man at my side...wearing a red velvet with gold cording jacket, a white chiffony blouse with two tiny gold buttons at the neck I was mesmerized. He went on and on about the perfume and I stood there trying not to stare at this spectacular spectical...he makes me try the body cream(which was amazing)finally we escape and get on the escalator.
B looks at me and says "did that just really happen?" and I was like
"I dont know, where did he come from"
and then she throws me for a loop
"those shiny white vinyl pants"
"WHAT!!!"
I couldnt look down because it was so bedazzling that I missed the piece that pulled it all together.
WHITE VINYL PANTS.
So then we went back down and tried to find him so I too could bask in the glory of white vinyl. and he was no wear to be found.
And we both were like
"did I spray the bottle and release some sort of insane gay disco nutcracker genie?"
He was magic.
Yesterday after work I met up with J who had taken the day off and we went to look at chairs.
and we bought a barcelona chair.
It arrives on Wednesday.
Ive wanted a barcelona chair for years and now I will have one.
Its off white, to go with the colour sceme for the NYE party.
no seriously it was either off white, stark white, black ora burgandy-ish brown. Since ALL our other furniture is a chocolate brown I thought Id add some contrast with the off white, which is still warm. I want to get a really pretty pillow for it. The store we bought it in had the girliest most wonderful chair ever, it was the softest white velvet and sort of tufted with a round back and a seat that you could sit on cross legged and it was low so you could even sit on the floor and lean back on it.
I want it. J said perhaps when we had a house and we had a room it would go with and I said "oooh like a pink room!" He knows there is no escape.
Wait until he sees the chandlier I want in there!
Me and B discussed what were wearing for NYE. I brought up the peacock shall and then said "I'll probably just wear pajamas" and we both looked at each other and she said "that would be so great." and she was serious.
Ten years ago if you would have told me that I was seriously thinking about wearing pajamas to a NYE party I would have laughed at you so hard I would have puked. The word comfortable was not in my vocabulary until 3-4 years ago. here is a list of other things that would have made me puke on your shoes.
-not shaving my legs all of the time.
I will look you in the eye right now and tell you that I do not remember when the last time I shaved my legs was. Judging by my beastor legs I can safely say weeks. Its a pain in the ass and time consuming. Especially in the winter.
-That I would allow myself to have full length gray hairs. Ive had the grays for a bit now(since I was 14 or 15) and once I could see 1" of gray I was reaching for the nice and easy. Now I have A LOT more than what I had then and well some are full length root to end gray. I dont know why I havent just covered it. I think its cos I want to do something different very soon and dont want to create havoc.
-have more "lounge" wear than normal clothes. The second I get home I change into thread bare, ink and paint stained workout pants and either a tee shirt whose neck has been stretched out or a tank top. Sometimes I wear this to the store to get milk.
-wearing an outfit strictly based on comfort. Comfortable was not a word in my vocab.
I havent got to the point where Im letting my eyebrows grow wild or not bathing but its coming.
I can feel it.
Pretty soon Im going to think that music is too loud and that kids these days do not respect old people.
I blame all this crazy behaviour on knitting.
Oh in a NYE update I found a bag of decorations from my pink and white party I had a couple of years ago.
Theres a bunch of decorations and even more importantly 2 packages of disposible shot glasses.
Can you say Jello shots?
This time next week Santa will be doing the rounds.
ho ho ho.
OH ONE MORE THING: Colgate Paradise Fresh tastes like grape candy.
Its also lavender and sparkly.
pass it on.
