Thanks to everybody for all the wonderful nouns. It'll take me a while to use all of them. I'll keep you posted.
I was very bad last night and stayed up until seven a.m. I was very good today and ran many errands. Mostly I returned some recent boneheaded purchases, including a cute pair of shoes that I have nothing to wear with. I thought they would be stunning with the dress I bought last month, but they weren't. Why I ever thought pale green shoes with white polka dot trim would not look absolutely idiotic with a black dress with fuschia swirly thingies on it remains a mystery. I mean, seriously, what the fuck? I really confuse myself sometimes.
After I finished divesting myself of ill-considered acquisitions, Eric made chili and cornbread. Yes, today was all very responsible and wholesome, and soon I will peel myself up and get in the shower so I can be clean, too. By then my hangover will have dissipated almost completely, just in time to go to a party. I haven't felt much like going to parties these days, but I like the person who is throwing this one and it's within walking distance of my house. Who could pass that up?
