Yesterday, Kim's father had what turned out to be a heartattack. He will be fine, which is a very awesome thing, but will need some time to fully recover. He's only been home from Mongolia for about a week, and its a good thing that it happened here rather than there, if it had to happen at all. I dont pray, but obviously Im keeping Kim's family in my thoughts at this time.
Tuesday is my brother's mock-provincial exam and we both have to be dressed up for it. He has to wear black and white, I can wear what I want, just dressy. The problem here is that lately my "dressy" has included jeans or cords. Not that I dont have dress pants, I do, I just that my really dressy tops are kind of skanky and more along the lines of bar shirts. This meant that I had to go to the mall after work today. I spent way more than I had budgeted myself for, but I still have like $35 left after filling my gas tank and buying food. This will have to do for the next two weeks.
Moving on, because all of my dress pants are black, I was looking for something to go with the spaghetti-strap brown top that I have. So I find a little chocolate brown sweater that's the cutest so I bought it. Now to find dress pants. Yeah, right. If I wasnt looking for brown dress pants I can guarantee you that's all I would have found. Not a store with the right color, and even the clors that came close I couldnt get something that looked good on me. Shopping is so frusterating. I decided, fuck it, I'll buy a nice top to go with a pair of black dress pants that I already have. I bought a little black sweater, and a really nice black tank top. Cost more than I had planned, but I need new dressy clothes with the upcoming holiday season. Oh, and I bought a new necklace and two pair of large hoop earrings.
Im tired now. I may nap after I do laundry.
[EDIT] Oh! In his last news post, Chris Daily asked for readers to tell one person about Striptease. I figure I'll tell a few dozen.
