Hooray for “me” days

Posted on by

I had a “me” day today. Yay!

I already have work tomorrow, Thursday and Friday, so I decided I could afford to shut the phone off and be unavailable today. I went to David’s Bridal to try on the dress for my brother’s wedding. Here’s what mine’s going to look like:

Separates. The color is fantastic. Also, I really like the top, although they did not have it in the store in my size in ANY color. I tried on a different top in a 6, and it seemed to fit. I tried on this top in a 4, which nearly fit (much to my surprise) except that it wouldn’t quite zip at the top. So the 6 should be fine, I think.

Women’s sizes are so strange. There is no continuity. The dress I wore for Susan’s wedding was a 10. I typically wear a size 8 in pants and skirts, and usually a 6 on top.

Since I was already out and about, I decided to take my little laptop and go to Barnes & Noble. There was a sign on the front window that said “High speed wireless here!”

Yay!

But what they don’t tell you is that it’s not free. Boo.

I had to pay $3.95 for 2 hours, but I decided it wasn’t worth packing up and going somewhere else. So I got an Asiago Cheese Pretzel, plugged in my headphones and listened to my music, chatted a bit with Eden, and got to writing.

I think Tall Mocha on Wheels, the current story I’m working on for Woman’s World, is nearly ready to submit. I also started on another project that I’m not talking about just yet, but I am having a lot of fun with it.

I’ve abandoned NaNo. I was wasting my energy. But oddly enough, I seem to have funnelled it into more productive areas. So yay for me. 🙂

I also did some other not-so-interesting things like grading and laundry.

Random thoughts:

That cute, happy, Brit-poppy song I keep hearing on the radio and liking so much? That one that goes “No matter what you are, I will always be with you/Doesn’t matter what you do, girl, ooh girl, with you” is DEF LEPPARD. Covering Badfinger. I was dumbfounded.

I understand there’s a new Goo Goo Dolls song out, although I haven’t yet heard it.

Also, I hate Bon Jovi’s new single, Have a Nice Day. HATE it. And you know how much I like Bon Jovi. I hate it so much that I don’t even want to hear the album.

And that’s me today.

  1. The new GGD song is called “Better Days,” and it’s a Rzeznik song (bien sur!). They performed it on the Today Show not too long ago. It’s on a new CD called “Sounds of the Season: The NBC Holiday Collection.” I got it at Target for like $4.99! As you probably gathered from the song title, it’s not about chestnuts, snowmen or sleigh rides! It starts out quiet and builds. It’s not his greatest song, but it’s not bad, and its message is quite welcome and uplifting considering the state of the world.

    Did I really write all that?!

    Def Leppard doing a cover is really sad. But they need all the help they can get these days.

    I haven’t gotten the new Bon Jovi album yet either. I’m sure there’s a decent power ballad on there somewhere, though…

    NEW MADONNA TOMORROW!!! 🙂

  2. Badfinger has a lot of good stuff. If you enjoy McCartney tunes (and that one is one I believe), check them out. I could burn you a Best of Badfinger but I believe you will be 87 years old before I get to it.

    Burning CDs. Heh.
