I was really good and went to sleep after watching the series premiere of "Sanctuary" on SciFi and then the rebroadcast of episode two, season five, of "House" on USA last night. (I missed it when it was on Tuesday) I was able to get about 8 1/2 hours of sleep and be up by 9:30AM today. The premiere of "Sanctuary" was pretty good. I liked the story and the characters. Unfortunately, though I think she's a great actress, Amanda Tapping's British accent seemed a bit inconsistent to me.
Anyway, after breakfast Susan and I took Casey for a walk in the gravel pit behind the house. It was absolutely beautiful out! We took the trash and recycling to the dump and I was able to find two Garth Nix books, in great condition, in the re-use shed. (This is in addition to the four books I purchased at the used book sale this week at the library across from my workplace.) There is another used book sale tomorrow on my way into town and I may just have to stop there as well. I'm incorrigible! :)
I took a load of stuff to storage (summer/professional clothes, books, games) and pulled out my sheet music/voice lesson stuff (so I can sing "The Rose" at Jessie & Matt's wedding in January), some winter clothes, and my Halloween stuff. I haven't figured out what I'm going to be yet but it needs to be something I can work outdoors in because we'll be filming the local "Rag Shag" Parade. I can't wait! Halloween is my favorite holiday.
After I paid the rent on my storage unit, I headed over to a nearby town to get my hair cut. I brought in a picture of Anne Hathaway as she looks in her new movie "Rachel Getting Married". I saw the picture and thought I'd look good with the same hair cut. The stylist said that it would work for me and we will slowly work my hair into it. Right now it's too short. The nice thing is that my haircut was half price today because Sandra didn't really have to do much to it but snip the back a little.
Next stop, the mall. I made another attempt to purchase winter boots. Sears was having a big sale but I wasn't sure that the boots I wanted were really made for snowy outdoors. I think they are just supposed to look "wintery". On the upside, I finally used some of my JC Penny gift card by getting a new pair of, "stylie" (to go with my "sporty" car) sunglasses. No, really, I finally accepted that I needed a new pair. My old ones were plastic, all scratched up, and had been a giveaway at an expo quite a few years ago. I feel a bit like I'm re-working my whole image (with the car, haircut, and sunglasses), or maybe finally finding out who I am and what I like. Plus, I really like myself most of the time now and I think that makes it easier. I've come a long way baby.
I think I mentioned before that I've been watching a lot of "Doogie Howser, MD" lately and I believe the end of that last paragraph is very Doogie diary-like. Too bad I don't really want to end this blog post there. See, I also got to, almost, use up my Macy's gift card as well. Aunt Nancy was very thoughtful and sent me one for my birthday this year. Tonight, I treated myself to a Godiva 16 piece, dark chocolate, assortment. Yummy! I also picked up a cribbage set, for $3, at Target. Some friends of mine got me hooked and now I get to play whenever I want (and have someone to play with).
Anyway, I really didn't mean for this post to go on so long. I came home, told Susan about my day, watched some Doogie, and now I'm going to brush my teeth and go to bed. I'd also like to say that I'm still enjoying driving my new car. I listened to my Garth Brooks double live album today. It's fun to listen to all my music again now that it's out of storage. Tomorrow I need to do laundry and go grocery shopping. I'll also hang out with some friends. Monday it's back to work and dental cleaning and Tuesday I get my car inspected. Not much else going on. Love you guys! :)
