Ah, the things I overhear at work. XD;
So yesterday I was reminded (again) of why I have to leave work early if I want to go to the gym - if I get there at 4:30, there are a couple of bikes and/or treadmills open. If I get there at 5, there is nothing open. Apparently even if I get there at 5:30, still nothing open. Come on, people, break your New Years resolutions so I can have the chance to work out! I want to be Padme in a month!
I was in a bit of a rush, since Scott had invited me out to dinner with him and Tiffany and Nathan at 6:30, so I just came home and changed back into my regular clothes and put together my sewing mannequin (:D) and talked to Jen until they called. We went to this Chinese buffet that's literally two minutes from my apartment, and yet I never knew it was there. XD; It was pretty yummy, and we actually sat there and talked so long that Tiff and I went back for more dessert and by the time it hit 10 and we were the only people left there, we figured it might be time to go. XD;;;
And then today we went to see Inkheart, which was really good~ (And I finally got to see the Half-Blood Prince trailer!) I'd meant to get up at a reasonable hour (i.e., in the morning) to work out and get some cleaning done, but I changed the alarm noise and apparently this one is something I can sleep right through. I kept waking up to find it had already been going off for a while. So I didn't get up until 1 or so, and the movie was at 2:30 so really all I had time to do was shower and eat and watch about 20 minutes of The Incredibles on TV before I had to head to the theater. Afterwards I went to the mall with the vague hope that I might find someone who sold Converses so I could at least try some on to figure out what size I wear. The first few places didn't carry them, and no one was being helpful in Foot Locker (and they only had black anyway); Sears had them in kids' sizes but only in pink, so while I could try some on they didn't have the right color. But then! I hit Kids Foot Locker, and LO! RED CONVERSES IN MY SIZE FOR $25. AHAHAHA. Sometimes being able to wear children's shoes is a very, very good thing. I was not going to pay $44 for a pair of shoesthat did not have wheels in them or something.
I also could not stop myself from buying this scarf at Hot Topic. It has GIR on it and it is adorable. I think that thing that most girls have for shoes, I have it for scarves. Or something. XD
Also, last night I found Gwen's belt on eBay for CHEAP. And they're willing to mail it to the US! Here's hoping I win that auction! I was not going to pay the $40 or whatever that one other person with it I found was going to charge. Not for a belt. D:
