The good (so as not to be overloaded with the bad)

[danaeris]

Monday, mertuil and her fabulous boy whose username I am blanking on (anyone able to help me there?) took me to Torrid for the first time.

I'm in love. And I couldn't help myself; I bought this dress. It just looked too good on me to pass up. I am also lusting after this one, but they didn't have it in my size.

Luckily, they DO ship internationally, plus there's a Torrid in Walden Galleria in Buffalo, which my mother and I will doubtless be visiting from time to time (flights out of Buffalo are often cheaper, and we have relatives there).

The evening was fun, and helped remind me of what wonderful friends I have here. If I could have found a way to see even a fraction of the friends I've made here regularly, I imagine wild horses couldn't drag me away. You all rock.

I also tried my first Ice Wine, and got re-educated about champagne. Yum all around! I definitely recommend going to La Fondue on a Monday or Tuesday when there's no corkage fee. It works out great. :)

Somehow, in the next week, I need to finish packing all my stuff and ship it. I need to sell all my furniture, and donate all my clothes, and I was hoping to drive up to Davis with my friend and meet her horse, and overnight one night at Annwfn to say goodbye to the land. Friday night I'm choosing between W&S, Friday Night Waltz (but only if my breathing gets better), and Queen of Heaven. Saturday I will be at someone's NY day event most of the day chilling and hanging out with folks, although other plans may worm in there. Sunday I am doing brunch at Scharffenberger's Cafe Cacao, and a tour of the factory, but have no plans for the evening, and Monday and Tuesday (my last two days) are as yet unbooked.

Things will be hectic. Here's hoping I get everything done on time.
Y'know, writing this positive post has definitely cheered me up at least some.

I wish there were a Torrid closer to me. I'd love to buy their stuff, but I want to see if it fits first. And hate the hassle of returning things by mail.
Someday. :)

My boy is xarnix; however he doesn't post much.

I do like Torrid. Sadly, though, so much of the stuff I find cute is too big in the bust for me :(
