Oh, this is random. I bought a pair of shoes a half-size smaller than I usually wear. I had to ask the saleswoman if she thought they were too small, because it just seemed so unlikely. She was like, "Um, they look like they fit perfectly?" I said, "But this isn't the size I wear!!" I do think they fit, though.
I don't know about you guys, but I've had it with super-strong little women who aren't me.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I've got shoes that fit ranging in size from 5 to 6 1/2. Plus some kids sizes 3 to 4, which is approximately the same range -- a 3 in kids is a 4 1/2 or 5 in womens.

What a day! I got shiny nails (grey), sandwich (pastrami), the HP book (orangey-yellow), a little flirt with the bookstore guy (tattooed), the last two last-season Dr. Who CDs (red), ice cream (rose), and new clothes (many colors)! Alas, most of the clothes are going back, because while they were so lovely on the models, they make me look fat. I don't know why. I'm pretty sure I'm not. Still, I'm chilling, realizing I got way too much ice cream, and trying to figure out which media extravaganza to begin first.
I did, in fact, pull out HP while walking home just to see what was on the first page. I'm always interested in how she starts the books.
Edited for the subtle and not terribly important but real distinction between "her books" and "the books".

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
What brand??
Zoya. I don't remember the color name, but Juliana might

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Funny!

I think Emily wins. All I did was come home.

Most of that was just coming home! Okay, bookstore and ice cream (how many times have I walked past that place since moving here, and this was the first time I've consciously thought, "Hey, that's the cool Indian ice cream place with the cardamom and ginger and rose and sesame ice cream JZ took us to during the F2F"?), fair cop, but the Dr. Who and clothes were waiting for me. It's just a consumatastic day!

The woman kind of looked at me like I was crazy, and pointed out that different brands size differently, which I get in theory, but I've really never bought a different size over the past, probably 20 years. Which is also kind of crazy to think about, but that's a different kind of crazy.

I had a very Buffistastic afternoon. Went wandering around to some stores. Saw juliana's new chair at Cost Plus. Bought bras for Jilli. Photographed Allyson's book on the new release table at B&N. Turned Amy Liz's face out. Sat at a cafe and had a beer and read Oxford American. All in all a very nice Saturday.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Posting from our hotel room in Evanston. Family reunion is going swimmingly--we've seen a Cubs game (and I got an awesome Wrigley Field hoodie!) had a huge family dinner, 32 of us took a day-long bus tour of Chicago, with lunch out by the observatory looking out at Lake Michigan, and now we are going to a barbeque, followed by J and I taking the neicephews (ranging in age from 11-17) to see Transformers. My mom bought me the HP book, but I am not starting it until I get to the airport tomorrow morning--and then I hope to read straight through without stopping.
