yesterday, mom, my aunt sandy, randy and i went to the cat show. there were many very cute cats, and quite a few people there viewing them. there were many cat-related things for sale. the only one i found appalling was a sweatshirt featuring a cat wearing a red hat. appalling.
i wore a pink t-shirt to the show, with a glittery picture of the pink panther on the front. amy gave it to me, and it’s very nice, and i’ve been waiting to wear it all summer.
i tried it on with a pair of my new low rise, flared jeans, but i decided i just couldn’t wear them, because quite a bit of my very very VERY white stomach was exposed. yuck, is all i have to say.
instead, i wore a very presentable pair of my old jeans. they were levis, and they weren’t low rise and they weren’t bell bottom. but i felt they looked just fine. it’s not like it was a fashion show we were going to, after all.
after the show, i explained to randy about my issue with the jeans. i said, “isn’t it OK to wear these jeans, even though they’re not low rise flares?” he said “it’s ok to wear them to the cat show this one time, but no. don’t wear them out in public again.”
oh boy. i discussed this with amy, and pointed out the white stomach problem, and she said IT DOESN’T MATTER ABOUT YOUR STOMACH, WEAR THE LOW RISE JEANS.
what am i supposed to do about the fashion police? maybe i could wear another shirt under the pink panther t-shirt. last night i wore my zipped jacket over it. amy suggested that i use self-tanner, and that made me laugh, the thought of having a striped stomach.
did you see JEKYLL & HYDE yet? i’m going again, next sunday. randy got me a good ticket for the show. i’m very excited. i wish i was seeing it right now. he said it was sold out last night, which is great, it should have been.
i finally got a massage yesterday. i knew i’ve needed one for several months now, but i’ve been bad about doing it, even though i knew i had a lot of stress.
every bit of my body hurt when i got the massage. i knew it was beyond bad when i got my face massaged, and even my temples were sore. there was no part of my body that wasn’t all stressed out. i do feel better today, but i really need a massage a day for the next month or so.
my first paper is due tomorrow, for my english class. all i have to do is format it, and it’ll be done. i feel that it’s not great, but i’m not worried about it, because i did all i could do. erica still had to start writing last night. she didn’t seem panicked about it, but she has the ability to seem very calm and collected about things. i’d be completely out of my mind if i had to write the whole thing, but she’s written plenty of papers.
yesterday afternoon i thought i’d solved all my problems in life. i saw a guy driving down the street in an RV, and i thought, why don’t i just buy an RV? that way i could have a place to live in, but i wouldn’t have to pin myself down to staying here in spfld. i could leave on a moment’s notice, and take my home with me.
for at least eight minutes, i was really happy.
but then i thought about it a while, and decided this isn’t probably the best idea. i have somehow managed to accumulate too much stuff, and it wouldn’t all fit in the RV. and also, i realized that one of my goals in life is to have a basement. if i had a basement, i could store all kinds of stuff. not that i need to store all kinds of stuff, but i could if i wanted to. a basement is a top priority, so i guess the RV is out. at least i was happy for a few minutes yesterday.
not that i’m not happy, please don’t think i’m being NEGATIVE in any way. even though it’s sunday. even though i’m really sluggish today.
aunt sandy is sitting across from me right now, and she’s happy that i’m writing, because she’ll read this tomorrow morning when she gets to work. ok, so at least i’m brightening somebody’s day one day in advance, despite my general overall surliness at the moment.
perhaps i need a nap.
after i format my paper.
and after i work on my PLAY, which i haven’t worked on at all this entire weekend. because of my overall badness.
ok ok ok,
grace starting the sunday night slump in advance.
