snow, snow, snow, snow... wonderful snow! beautiful snow!...snow, snow, snow, snow...
i was excited to go out in the snow. i put my hair in two braids and picked out my frog toque and frog mitts. my rainbow scarf completed the trio where three is company. i put on my wool double breasted winter coat. i was ready. but heather wasn't here, so i went down to wait for her. she insisted in not appearing out of the alleyway and the snow was coming down in thick swirls. it looked enchanting. i decided to go get her. "but then i'll have to walk all the way back." i objected. "something wrong with a little walking?" i replied. i smiled. "touche."
ok i didn't really say touche. haha. i just shrugged my shoulders and stepped out into the snow. it kept flying right into my eyes, but one of my frogs protected me, bore the brunt for me if you will. i was quickly coated with white melting flakes.
heather was still in her pjs. she said she got snagged by a simpson's episode and cuddling with her cat. mmmmhmmm. heather had to go back in once to get her bus tickets and to change which lights were on for rothko. (i feel bad leaving my cats in the dark too. "they can still see." says elicia who is usually the bleeding heart when it comes to the kittens). heather wore her green scarf and a fleece zip up she got in her travels. i told her not to complain if she got cold. i said this because quite frankly i was feeling smug all clad in my winter gear. to her credit heather did not complain of the cold, but she was too hot on occassion. ornary easterners.
we took the bus. while we were waiting under the bus shelter, the snow was getting thicker and thicker. big flakes whirling and swirling. it looked like someone was just above out of sight, dumping bags and bags full. like in the movies. what makes snow so magical? how come everything it covers becomes beautiful and almost holy?
on the bus i told heather that the last time i took the looser cruiser was when we went on the sa cruise with bobby's mom. she laughed at the term looser cruiser. i told her it was elicia's saying. on the bus was one of the times that heather was too hot. she partially undressed but not in a way that would cause one to stare or be embarrassed. just in an outer ware kind of way. she's a nut bar but she's not an exhibitionist.
at first we couldn't find diane's. we went the wrong way, but on the way back i started to recognize the stores that i felt might be in the vicinity of diane's. and you know, i turned out to be right? i told the lady that i wanted a new bra. i said i wanted to be sized. she wanted a look at me in my current bra. oh great i thought as i undressed and caught a glimpse of the now shapeless shell of a bra--off white, broken under wire, sagging straps. when she drew back the curtain i blurted out my appologies for my miserable scrap of support. she looked surprised. anyway i told her what i wanted. i wanted to try a b cup. i wanted molded but not padded, some structure on the sides, comfortable straps. the molded bras she brought were totally not my favourite. and they were a hundred and twenty, a hundred and thirty. ya right i thought. a b cup fit me but in a unattractive style. something i imagine someone not like me wearing. someone unlike me would pick that one. anyways she brought in this little white half lacy one that i was sceptical about but it turned out to be so comfortable! i had given up hope of comfort when it came to support systems. then i tried on this seemless beige one and it was a very nice fit you might say, and i do. "good shape." my helper lady commented. the best part was that the white one was only thirty four dollars! and the beige one was under one hundred! so i got them both. two new bras. i can barely contain my excitement. i hope that i will not be cruelly disappointed.
heather and i walked out into the snowy night. i felt good. i wanted to show heather skandia, so we went over. it's just as facinating and beautiful as i remembered it. now not only is there that class i so want to take with fatima, but there is also a "cuff class". you make "cuffs". they had some there. one was so exquisit. i wanted it. only a hundred dollars. heather bought a ring. it looked really cute on her and i didn't try to talk her out of it. the ladies there are really aloof and don't talk to you until you talk to them. then they're more friendly. this one lady that was helping us was really nice but i could tell she was pretty much a control freak kind of woman. nice but tightly reigned.
we went back out into the snow. we didn't want to go home. it felt christmassy out on south granville. so we decied to go to chapters. but first we got sidetracked at that store right by it. i can't remember it's name. but it was our first time in there and there was a lot of cool stuff. there were all these retro things for christmas, like the 3d viewers, pick up sticks and so on. there was also a lot of expensive bedding and lamps and couches.. i liked these lamps. the base was this clear pretty glass. simple and pretty. anyways we went to chapters too. i was looking for dad's present. i know exactly what i'm getting him. but they didn't have it.
on the way home we stopped at rogers and got a movie. i finally found the japanese version of shall we dance. the other movie we got, ironically was also about dancing. that's the one we watched. and i was surprised that it was actually good. marissa tomei was in it. i think she's so pretty. she has a sparkle.
we went to safeway so heather could buy some fruit and veggies. i used the opportunity to buy some tp. i was hungry so on impulse i bought a single serving of tuxedo cake. (at safeway the single servings come in a round shape) and i'm ashamed to say i bought nine of the bakery cookies. "i wanted two of each." i told heather. "you wanted two of each? well wouldn't you have ten then?" asked little miss smarty clown heather bourne. "ok. there was one kind i only wanted one of! i didn't think i'd have to explain that though." i grumbled good naturedly.
and then we watched the movie and i ate two cookies too many and regretted the whole cookie thing. a cookie fiasco in my eyes. i purposely left them at heathers. i was already across the street and down the alley when heather called something out to me from her balcony. "what?" i called back. "laura! you forgot your cookies!" she called back. "oh well." i shrugged smuggly and turned and walked home. hehe.
