All this talk of clothes reminds me that I spent about $350 at J. Crew and Armani Exchange the other day. Which is ridiculous, and I probably couldn't afford it. But at least I now have two nice sweaters, 5 high-quality long-sleeved t-shirts for layering, and three thicker thermal shirts, so I can survive the rest of fall.

Still need a coat and gloves. Thus, Macy's trip is on the plate for next weekend.

Why do I get interested in clothes AFTER I cut myself off from my parents financially? I wasted my supported years, I'm telling you.

So, would it be silly of me to take a little less money and work in a video game store?

Is there a discount? Are there cute geeks?

Am back from movie (mmm, nachos) and Target.

My search for Corpse Bride shoes has thus far been in vain. Target had no white heels in my size at ALL (target.com does, but not the Brooklyn store), DSW's were all over $30, which is too much for a wear-once-that's-not-my-real-wedding, and Payless had 2 pairs that were both too fugly for words.

I know it's out of season for white strappy sandals, but dude! This should not be so difficult!

If I can't find anything good by Friday, my version of the Corpse Bride is going to be in black leather boots.

I'd say Ginger's asking the right questions.

I went away to do family stuff and grocery shopping, and the thread went and changed without me.

Steph, gorgeous choices. I'm confused now, though. Who got the dress?

Stupid cold. Colds are not supposed to last 2 1/2 weeks! Stupid sleep deprivation making me a cranky bitch with no immune system.

Susan, I really hope you guys get some relief soon. Owen's cold has been hanging on for far longer than they usually do and if it's not in the clearing stages by tomorrow or Tuesday, we're going to the pediatrician.

We've been so exhausted by the sleep deprevation that both DH and I are coming down with colds as well.

Those dresses are awesome. Teppy, I especially like the stripey dress. The ones Plei linked are JZalicious.

I had most of the afternoon to go shopping. Got the boy some warm, footie pjs and some sweats for playing around the house. Then loaded up at the evil Sam's club with soda and Halloween candy and then hit Target for just about everything else.

We're now broke but couldn't possibly want for ANYTHING.

What size is the boy these days, Cash?

Is there a discount? Are there cute geeks?

Discount, I think so. Handy at Christmas! As far as the cute geeks, potentially. My only concern is that I'd potentially be working largely with 16 year old boys and either making an arse of myself, or be driven crazy.

He's in 18-24 months right now.

Oooh, hey, here's a buffista question: In which of the two fanfic related threads should I post links to a couple of Doctor Who ficlets?

Bif Naked is in town this coming Wednesday night. I would love to go out and see her perform. I don't see how it's going to be possible, though.
