Congrats to Dr. bob bob.

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.

Congrats to Dr. Bob Bob!!

Yay for Emmett Smay, the famous baseball player!

Sorry about the ouchy, sarameg. Glad to hear I'm not the only one who can't stand the smell of aveda.

Ouch, sara. I just insended to you at the .net. Should I be using gmail?

The .net works fine. (It just won't let me easily send mail from my mailtool, which is lame. Hence the gmail account.)

I like the smell of aveda for short periods of time. But after a while, it starts being intrusive and I get a smell headache. It's what my salon uses and I can put up with it for that long (I usually wash my hair later anyway for the stray bits.)

Congratulations to bob bob, doctor of philosophy.

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.

When I got HP last night, a guy asked a person leaving with her book if he could borrow it for a minute. Then he read the first sentence to someone on his cell phone.

Oh, sarameg, ouch ouch ouch. The shoes sound terribly cute, but still cruel.

I have had a lovely day, including pampering and localista love and, finally, the uploading of new Matilda pictures.

She's enormous! And adorable! And correct me if I'm wrong, but that child seems to look an awful lot like a Smay.

What a cutie! Baby teeth!

And correct me if I'm wrong, but that child seems to look an awful lot like a Smay.

She really does. Though I can see plenty of JZ in there too.

The smile in this one just kills me dead.
