I went to Lush. And bought fancy shampoo I don't need (Cynthia Sylvia Stout, $12. But I really wanted it. It was my reward for not getting the $100 used armani skirt at a consignment shop. Because the skirt was *so* fancy and in my size even, and I *wanted* it. It was grey, and it had little beads of acrylic all over it, so it looked like I'd been walking in the rain, and I wanted wanted wanted it. But the shampoo was only $12, and she gave me a free bath bomb as well, so that's like, only a 1/10th of the cost of the skirt.(of course, according to the tag *in* the skirt, new it was a $4K skirt, so it was also a tremendous deal, but I was very brave and didn't even try it on because if it fit I would have had to sell my siblings if that's what it took to get it.)

I'm still waiting on the laptop. And tomorrow I need to see if I can't find out when they're going to deliver my blankets.

I'm currently eligible for health insurance again. $28 bucks a week, from a paycheck that's too small anyways. but I think the $.65 an hour increase in my salary should be enough to cover it, or at least most of it, as it comes out of my salary pre-tax. So we'll see. And I don't know yet if my rate got raised. I should email my temp person and ask if there's any news there.

There's a gay marriage announcement in the New York Times today. Such wedding announcements have to say, "X (on the left)," since we can no longer use such visual clues as male/female, long white dress/fancy suit, etc. There is also a grand marnier ad which refers to gay marriage ("Your sister is finally getting remarried." "Her fiancee's name is Jill.")

Oh, and a quote I wanted to show to Kirsten: "it's easy to find someone who wants to go to bed. but it's real hard to find somebody who'll let you say, 'look, i've got a cardboard box and a carpeted floor--you hold this flashlight and i'll push you around like you're in a car.'" -- chris issak

I'm wearing a skirt tomorrow, which means I have to get up early enough to shave my legs in the shower. And in the future, I'm buying the hair melter again, which won't be much easier to deal with, but I can always do it on the weekend or evening that way. And it also means I need to go to bed now, so I can get up early.
