So... After spending all day in San Fran tromping around and having lotsa fun, I figured out most of what I wanted to buy. While in the city I did pick up four new calf-length skirts, all very simple and basic. IE: Exactly what I was looking for. Also, a warm fuzzy caramel and black houndstooth wrap sorta thingy. Very soft. :) Gleep! I said all this already in a semi-conscious post! Okay. Moving right along...
Stacey's mother is going to skin us alive. :) Stacey's little sister turned 13 a couple of weeks ago and, having met and really liked her, I thought we should get her two birthday presents this year. One toy one 'adult' gift. Sorta to say, 'You're still her little sister but you're growing up'. So... Adult gift is matching gold and opal jewelery. Oval earrings and a teardrop pendant on a gold box chain. The stones are inset so that the jewelery can take a bit of abuse (since she is still a kid afterall) but it's a very adult look, I think. With all the extra cirricular stuff she does, even if Kathy only lets her wear it on special occassions, she'll still get a lot of use from it. Hopefully Cathy won't be too cross with us for it. I told Stacey she could tell her mom it was all my idea if she is, but hey! I'm a weird aunt (Err... sister in law really) Isn't it my job to spoil her? :)
Anyhow, today I started my transition into nicer clothes at work. Cute stripey brown/gray/black/white moc-turtle crew top with nice jeans and boots. I like this look. I figured I'd ease slowly into wearing decent attire rather than go from jeans with holes in the knees, tee shirts, and tennis shoes directly into dressing nice. Attracts less attention that way. :)
Ohohoh! In addition to all the walking I've done in SF this week, last night I DDR'd for an hour solid! I've gotten to this level where I don't get tired and winded anymore and I can exercise almost indefinetely. I'm fluxuating around 185 now instead of 190. Hoping to see the high 70's for the first time towards the end of this week or beginning of next!
