Cleanin' - n - Shoppin'

One perk of learning to be alone with myself is that you, dear reader, get lots of updates that contain nothing of interest, whether you like it or not.

First, the apartment. I cleaned, cleaned, cleaned while the Patriots absolutely DEMOLISHED the Redskins. (I'm so sorry, you guys) I cleaned the floors, the windows, the bathroom, the kitchen. I finally took the last of the boxes down to storage, I hung a few more pictures and I even made a little nook in the corner for visiting shoes. I aspire to have a "shoes off" apartment, especially after the dog shit incident. I still need to hang my big mirror in my living room, but I need a manly man and a drill for that.

There will be updated photos coming soon!

And then, the shopping. I had awesome kharma today. New patent leather ballet slippers, which I had been looking allllllll over for because my little cheap ones were falling apart. But I couldn't find them for under $60. Until today. Goodwill. $7.99. A Starlings t-shirt (friends of mine), coupla sweaters, green cords, a red button down and new black skirt. Because you can never have too many black skirts. And it turn, I came home and cleaned out my closet. That's just the rule.

And I watched the Halloween episodes of Buffy.
And I baked the October birthday cake for work.
And I addressed my christmas cards, although I still need to go play in the snow and take a picture and actually write in the cards. But they're started!

So that's been my Sunday.
This week is shaping up to be quite busy. Tomorrow evening is walking and dinner with the gals, Tuesday is my hair appointment, Wednesday is laundry day, Thursday is.....something. I'm sure of it.....huh. And Friday is the Day of the Dead gathering.

Oh, and then I'm going to a wedding on Saturday. Ack.
You'll just have to wait to hear about that.
