Yesterday, October 23rd 2002 Jef and I drove around all over trying to find my Midnight Priestess costume. My Love had saved up the money for me to get it and I was SO happy! (I love him so much, he's just wonderful!) But....we couldn't find it. Actually, we found it twice, just one was in Large and the other Plus size. *sighs* I need the "Teen" sized one since the teen is women's size 2-6. The "standard" women's size is 6-10 (and HUGE I tried it on. even over my clothes is was many sizes too big) and the "plus" was like 10-16 or something. Arg. So I haven't been able to find it now. We tried to locate the phone number of a store up by where Jef lives (about 20 minutes or so from me) but they aren't listed and I didn't want to drive there for nothing last night - especially since it was rush hour when we got done trying places locally. Blarg. So now, I've got the money to get the costume, but I can't find it!!

Yesterday was Wednesday which is my Love and my "night" - it's West Wing night and we both love that show. We ended up doing some fondue for dinner and even though West Wing was a rerun, we enjoyed watching it together as always. Afterwards, we did some stuff on our own a bit - I gathered the items I needed for my Unemployment review (more on that later) and he played some Grand Theft Auto 3. Eventually, we ended up dying my hair - always an ordeal and every time we do it I say That's it! next time I PAY to have this done! only to end up doing it ourselves again. *lol*

Turned into quite a process as always - I swear, it can't take everyone like two hours to do this - but it's pretty red again. I went out in the sun today to take a pic when I got my mail and it looks like this:


Tonight apparently, we're going out to eat! Weeeee! My friend Rand is taking us all out to celebrate his promotion at work so we're off to The Cheesecake Factory! *does a happy dance* The only thing that sucks is last night, after we did my hair, I got SO sick to my stomach. I slept all of about 1 1/2 hours and when the alarm went off this morning, I had just dozed back off after throwing up at 6:30am. It was cramping and bubbling and just miserable for no reason. Today it's feeling a smidge better, but it's still really hurting. All upset and burning like in the upper GI tract. Ugh. So, it kinda sucks I'm not really feeling good and tonight's the night I get to go eat somewhere wonderful. Dammit.

I had to get up this morning because I had to meet with the unemployment review people - despite the fact I've only gotten ONE check from them and that that check was back the first week of Septemeber, apparently, I don't warrent a second one until I can prove I've been looking for a job (hense the compliling lists of people I've emailed or faxed to, week-by-week for the last like six months. No easy task) It's utter BULLSHIT. Anyway, being sick and throwing up and getting no sleep, I just couldn't do it. So I called at 8am (the appointment they gave to me without speaking to me, just mailing me a letter with a date and time was today at 9am) and they said I could come in tomorrow at 9am instead.

Blarg.

Anyway...that's been my last day or so. This took much longer then I thought and I have some things I need to do yet before my Love comes home at 5pm, so I'm out for now. ttfn.
