i've shopped.  heaven help me, i bought clothes.  it feels good.  it feels bad.  "it was the best of times. it was the worst of times..."  this is what i'm saying.  i needed clothes.  i've been traipsing about my life in ragbag clothes all summer.  today i bit the platinum, diamond encrusted bullet so to speak.  i got a pair of jeans and some new tops.  bring it.

i continue to consume many mushrooms.  mushrooms make meals marvelous.  yesterday it was a pita pizza with goat cheese and spinnach.  today it was the mushroom burger with avacado, hummus and spinnach.  i still have more.  let the mushrooms come.

the lady who was helping me at the store was a sweet older lady.  she had a lot of work to do because we all know how i bring the whole store with me into the changeroom just so i can try almost every single thing on.  anyways she was very sweet.  i would hook my no's over the door on hangers for her and she would take them every so often.  and once in a while i needed a different size.  anywise, one time she said to me through the door "and if no one's ever told you, you are a very pleasant, polite young lady."  garsh, shucks and gee.  we were besties by the time i left.

i found some old pics of interest at work today.

super dental hygiene girl!

'member when i had short hair?

this pic is a cautionary tale.  it reminds me of the lesson i learned: never make yourself truly ugly when dressing up for halloween.  you'll regret it.  also, how'd i get that tissue to stay in my hair??
