Party store is where I've gotten them, meara, but I have not comparison shopped or anything.

Good lord, Todd.

DH was away in Monterey for a few days, got back late last night and leaves again early tomorrow morning for a week in Spain. Ah, the life of the freelance car guy.

As for me, I am finally using my Xmas gift certificate and booked a massage on Sunday. Also going with my pal, Heather, whose DH is away in Vancouver for four months on a movie, to dinner and to see "Diary of a Teenage Girl" on Saturday. I am much pleased with my bachelorette weekend.

I really should get a massage. The other day my back was so tight I was half convinced it was going to harden into a shell and eventually crack open to reveal wings.

I would be down with that, by they way.

Anyway, it's not that bad today, but still hurts if I move wrong.

My next-cube neighbor gave me a referral to stitchfix (she has used them very happily) and I'm kinda paralyzed by the profile-building "What do you think of the style below?" part. "It's okay, maybe parts of it I would wear sometimes" is not an option. And there's 7 of them.

Hooray to Gary!

Same, same. I'm getting a (temporary, so far) promotion, so I think I'm going to up my massage frequency.

Same! I totally quit halfway through setting up the profile.

Ha! I stuck with it and have a shipment coming (the day of Writer's with Drinks so maybe I'll have something new and fancy to wear?)

What my co-worker really likes is the option where you set up a pinterest, um, thingy (page? collection?) for your "style" and your stylist looks at that to refine what s/he picks out for you. I'm not jumping into that, yet, but I can see how it could be fun.

Oh, that's very interesting. Probably more trouble than I'd care to take, but that would be easier for me than deciding among looks, I guess.

Oh, my poor newbie coworkers. At 4:50, they came in to where I was proofreading a proposal and said, "We just noticed the email said to submit by 5pm. Is that serious?" I was like, um yeah. I don't know if the submission actually shuts down when the clock strikes 5, but do we want to risk it? No we do not! So she busted a move and got it in.

Wow, that's impressive, in a way.

They were really done, and it wasn't a huge project. I bet my boss wishes she had emphasized the actual deadline more, though!

Oh, okay. That's just funny, then.
