Rain gets in the way

The electricity went out at least two times tonight. I finally got my homework finished. Apparently I have to stalk a librarian by Thursday. I just have to sit around and watch to see what they do at the Reference Desk. I had my massage and felt so relaxed afterward. The rain really helped me nap for a bit before I got my assignments finished. I have to read my children’s books and write reviews for them by Friday as well. I guess I won’t be swimming this week due to this Tropical Storm we have hanging out here. Oh well, plenty of things to do indoors while God goes bowling up there. I took that picture today before the storms started. Those black specs are love bugs. `Tis the season!

Back to work

Last week was absolutely amazing and now I’m getting back to normal before I get myself back to being crazy busy. I’ve caught up with my homework, gone swimming for 30 minutes (before it rained) and backed up my pictures from my iPhone. Tomorrow it will be more homework and my birthday present to myself – my first massage at the spa. I’m not exactly sure what to expect but everyone who has one says they love it.
I’ll be waiting on my marriage license in the mail, then getting my name changed on my driver’s license, social security card, voter’s registration, passport, etc. Then once I’m go for travel, I’ll get myself a ticket, get the cat his Pet passport, pack up what I need and jump across the pond. I’m so excited! The only things I can think of that I really need to take are winter clothes, gadgets, books and the cat of course. Anything else I may need I can get at Christmas time.

The dress fiasco

So here’s what happened: after signing into to David’s Bridal and looking around after being told all dresses are “European” sizes {rollseyes} I need two sizes larger. So that’s fine but that put me in the plus category which I’ve never worn. The dresses weren’t that great and when I picked one to try the girl put me in a room in the lobby, amongst families and fiancés to put a big bra, corset and slip on alone. So when I tried to put on a bra way too small but said it was a size larger than I usually wear, some customer lady opened the door (my name was on the door in big pink letters, mind you) I was exposed to the whole store. I called Mom to come in, who agreed, the bra was way too small and I decided I wasn’t going through that for a dress I didn’t want. I walked out, telling the consultant I didn’t want to get dressed in front of an audience. It was too crowded, no privacy and just not worth those $1150 dresses they have on display.
