lazy sundays...
another wknd come and gone. sighhhhh. this wknd was relatively benign in that i didn't do too much, but it was nice and relaxing with much alone time in a good, healthy sort of way! woohoo! :)
as many of you may or may not know, this last wk had been a very silly week with too much self-induced, unnecessary emotional turmoil and lack of self confidence. as such, in addition to stress of exams and quizzes, i was very tired and run-down by end of friday and felt that the only pick-me-up would be to buy shoes. perfect timing-- it is nordstrom's halr yr sale for women and kiddos. disappointing!! the sale shoe selections were poor, with things that most people already have or just not very exciting. besides, i literally had to climb over people to get to the next rack of shoes. the handbags were okay, but nothing jumped out at me and told me to take them home. the jewelry selections were okay, but hmmm. so sad!! every other person was carrying a huge fancy nordy's bag and i couldn't find anything i liked enough to buy!
shoes, must buy shoes. walked around some more and ended up at cheapie aldo shoes. the problem i have with their shoes, albeit the high fashion, is that the heels are too high!! i am a fast walker, and sometimes it is hard to keep up with my internal pace in these big shoes. second, their shoes don't come in half sizes. even in the european sizing, i still need a 37.5, but i must choose only btwn 37 and 38 here! nevertheless, i managed to find two of hot shoes to buy. one pair is black, close-toed, and more professionally elegant to wear for needed occasions. the other pair is sort of a metallic brown, strappy party shoes. better shoe off my feet and legs now while the weather still permits and before i get too old and wrinkly. blah.
after shopping, clams and i went to hooters for some chesty heart attack. mmmmm, food. then anu and allen joined us. i always over-eat at hooters, but unfortunately i always get hungry after the meal within 2 hrs. what is a perfect solution? what to do!? after dinn, we ended up at howl at the moon. yeah, haven't been there for a lonnnnggggg time too, as clams and nuzzie. it's still fun; this time there were a mother load of tourists from IOWA, all very proudly displaying the IU spirit in yellow shirts, hats, and such. hahahah, too bad that iowa totally lost to NU on saturday. and clams was busy staring at certain boy! HA!
on a funner side of things, allen informed me that when he was on the brown line the other day, he thought he saw l o n n y. i don't know why, but the first reaction i generated (besides, "really?") was, "did he gain weight." WTF!?? why would i care if he gained more wt like a bear? afterall, he's probably the last person that perhaps truly liked me that only required a 10 min walking commute as opposed to half way around the globe or in boofoo or whatever when i needed to see him. oh well.
the remainder of the wknd was relatively peaceful. i cleaned up the living room and kitchen a bit. yes, a bit as in many many hours like literally ten thousand hours. too bad there are still piles of school papers i need to file. ugh! still, im pleasaed with the result, as minimal as it may be to the untrained eye; it was quite a progress compared to the state of disaster prior to cleaning. woohooooo, mahybe just maybe, i can livee in clean, tidy place... eventually.
