Okay, I didn’t do a whole lot of ‘work’ work today, but I had a ton of things to do. Most importantly, I went to Tysons Corner in VA and shopped. Yeah, that’s what I did because I could actually leave Baltimore at 4:30 to get to VA by 5:30. When I was at Firm-by-the-water I didn’t leave the office before 8, so I never really did anything. The good thing was I saved a lot of money. The bad thing was —–it sucked.

Anyway, today I went to VA and met the cousins. One of them has 3 kids and I don’t think she’s ever worked a day in her life. The other is my age, but unmarried. She and I commiserate about our life states. She complains about not being married, I complain about not having kids. Then I look at her sister and think, damn, I wouldn’t want to be at home all day with three kids for the rest of my life either! I guess that proves that I haven’t totally lost my mind. I’m not thinking “awww, she is so lucky with her . . . three kids”. I mean, she is totally lucky, but she isn’t me. I want to be ME with three kids. I would consider that lucky.

Anyway, I bought two different shades of MAC eyeshadow. I actually bought that shade of green that is on that page, along with another, totally flourescent shade of green that may or not bring out the color of my eyes. All I know is that ‘Jackson’, the guy who sold me three pairs of shoes in 10 minutes at Nordstrom, totally dug it.

Yes, you read correctly, with all of my free time it is only taking me 10 minutes to buy three pairs of shoes.

Not a single shoe, not the left one nor the right one, was on sale.

But, they are hot. And, isn’t that all that matters?
