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.
You've got my support. Just think of me as...as your... You know, I'm searching for 'supportive things' and I'm coming up all bras.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

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".

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!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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.
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.

SARA FALL DOWN GO BOOM.
So today, I am a literal walking disaster. Went down to Ellicott City early this afternoon. While wandering around a couple hours before my haircut appt, stepped on some uneven pavement while reading a sign and went down. Bruised one knee, skinned the other. Visited Bob the Cat at the antique store, the spice shop, several toy stores and my favorite 2 room gallery. They've always got something interesting. Today they had these...line drawings, sorta? Featuring a dinosaur and a robot. They were weird but neat.
And then? Wearing new shoes. Cute, comfy new shoes. They're black canvas wedge slip-ons, with sneakerish white rubber toecap and a bow. But canvas new shoes. Which always are cruel to my small toes brand new. So, blisters. Well, blister and tender spot (I suspect the fall actually started the blister.)
I cleaned up at the salon, we compared bruises. But I still had more walking to do. Ran errands at a nearby Target, bought bandaids, wrapped up my toes. Oh LOOK! A B&N next door. Had to check. Face out, 5 copies of WtVPPLtL, top shelf, New Humor section. Pointed it out to some unsuspecting stranger in the aisle.
Hit the grocery store, stood in line forfreakingever because they had one lane open and it had issues. Ahrg.
Home now. Flipflops on. Knee, ouchy. I need to neosporin it. Need to wash hair (for the third time today) cause the aveda is giving me a headache.
I still have to get my apartment respectable and clean and not so freaking cluttered. And laundry. Lots of laundry.
Ouch.
