A Treasure Found at Home

tomorrow is the 3 month mark with sp guy. i called him this morning from work to see if we could do lunch together (and i could get a sweater for the fridge i’m now working in). he said he had some stuff to do and hemed and hawed, eventually deciding it would be good for me to come along because it was my gift he was picking up (!) and he thought it would be good if i would pick out just exactly what i wanted.

so it was off to the day spa for lunch! he suggested the whole day package and i took him up on the offer after reading a menu of their treatments — which he’d already doctored with the aid of a sharpie to be sure i didn’t know the prices. while he purchased the gift certificate, i had a brief tour of the facilities. the place is very nice, to be sure, and they have all sorts of little ammenities which make things seem uber indulgent. (forgot your hair ties? they have some.)

we celebrated today ’cause tomorrow i’m haging out with the women of 00 in a furious attempt to get us all complementary bridesmaid dresses in one day.

the coordination of five women’s taste in dresses and six women’s taste in movies (for the slumber party before and after), plus schedules… all i can say is, ‘brick fight!‘ we all have strong ideas about what we like and what works for us. some of us are more direct than others in expressing our preferences and some of us are more absolute than others in what we want. some of us have no clue what we want and still won’t really know after trying on several things. we have a list of possible movies about 20 deep at this point. i think at least two of us are bringing a selection. good thing i packed my knitting!

oh, yeah, i’m actually knitting again! rock on with my bad needles. socks and arm warmers are the order of the day. it’s funny to me how i can be knitting something i like for me and still people will come up to me and start telling me how to change it into something different. they’re great ideas for the next bit of stash, but this ufo is going to stay on target.
