Journey through Faerieland

Today has been a pretty good day. I received a very sweet message from a friend, received my final two bras in the mail.( Bra TMI Again )

Michael and I watched the first hour of The Lord of the Rings final movie. I don't have much attention span for movies or television so we're breaking it up into four parts instead of just two. I read more of the Philip K Dick Exegesis book and checked out two more books from the library on the topic of obsessive love (I've read the books before, but don't clearly remember them).

I had to take a Klonopin around 5pm due to anxiety, but at least it's only been 2mg the past two times. It's really helping... My brother brought me home a giant hamburger with pesto sauce, green peppers, and tomato, but I'm too full to eat most of it:( I will eat most of it tomorrow. My mother also bought me a cherry Arctic Rush from Dairy Queen. My mother had to go to Dairy Queen to get her boyfriend Dilly bars because he feels really sick and is craving them. I hope he feels better soon...

I will probably try to go to bed early tonight so I don't wake up so late tomorrow.

Today has been a good day and for that I am grateful. Michael and I woke up a bit late. My mother apparently textmessaged me about her dog, whom she was supposed to drop off for me to take care of and then take back to her house before we went to the UU church for our "Spirit in Practice" class. Well, fussy Rasputin didn't want to come over. She was texting me to take him out to pee before the church. I texted her back that I was "in a meeting." O_o Okay... I have no recollection of doing this and have never really been "in a meeting." So it must have been related to a dream I was having... So, sleepwalking, sleep-eating, sleep-talking, now sleep-texting. Unfortunately I did not take the poor dog out to pee:( I'd assumed my mother took him to work with her, which is allowed where she went today:( Oh well, he was okay.

Church was fun! We made lists of what we thought prayer were and what we thought meditation were and how we thought they were similar and different. Then we did a quiet meditation and then an eating meditation (a tangerine). We did a hymn and a reading. We did a couple of worksheet/readings, too, and were given Unitarian Universalist prayer beads. After the church thing we bought cheap cocounut hair conditioner and I read The Great Divorce by C.S. Lewis.

I bid on ebay>_>. I allowed my auctions to all end with me losing except the one that was the sweater that reminded me of Mary Margaret Blanchard from Once Upon a Time. I followed Michael's advice and bid my max bid at the end of the auction. I tend to be very impatient and lose the auctions at just a dollar to two above the maximum I'm willing to pay! Very frustrating! I also put in a higher max bid for the mint Anthropologie floral top I love so much that I posted a picture of in here. It will end tomorrow during the day when I will probably be busy, so I just put in the bid and got it over with. The last one ended this morning just $2 past my max bid-_- I should have just paid more. It wasn't worth the hassle... I could have saved elsewhere. If I don't win this auction hopefully there are yet more tops.

Amber (surprisingly) left me an ebay message so I called her, but she was eating. She said she'd call back later tonight, but I want to go to bed early so I will probably call her soon.

My uncle just adopted an eight year old rescue Silk Terrier who is not house broken. His name was Binky (really??) and my uncle re-named him Ernie, after Earnest Hemingway.

I'm still in my pajamas. Pink cherry blossom patterned pajamas from Victoria's Secret. The pants are loose and a little short (they are supposed to be). The top has a racerback. I have a light pink zip up sweater over the top with "San Francisco" written across it. I'm wearing pink slipper socks Amber gave me years ago for Christmas/my birthday.

I just got a new sweater and jeans in the mail yesterday and I am wearing them today. The sweater stretches a bit and is a bit see-through, so I'm wearing a thin tank top underneath it. Also the jeans are dark blue -- not black -- but it's hard to tell in this lighting.

( Pictures of Me in my New Clothes )

These pictures are from Kuiper's Family Farm where they had many animals. The building is white. The apple orchard building is green. The people in these pictures are just me and Michael:-) Some pictures are from Halloween (where we are in costume).

( Tons of Pictures )

Michael and I are looking into going to the Joffrey Ballet in Chicago to see "The Nutcracker." I love that ballet! I have a dress I want to wear to it, too, but I need it altered. It's the pale pink dress I was going to wear to Amber's wedding (I don't think I've shown a picture. I might alter the dress soon. I think my weight is pretty stabilized so it seems like a safe time to have the dress altered. We have to discuss possible transportation with my mother, though. It will be expensive in total, but worth it:-)

On the more positive side of things, a friend bought me this really wonderful shirt I really wanted:-)

A friend of mine bought me another corset, this time longer and with boning. I really like it and will probably wear it to the Renaissance Faire:-)

Today at tutoring, the girl I tutor gave me an authentic Burmese shirt called a "Kur-aye" (no idea on the spelling). It's in red and I love red clothing:-)
