So as anyone who has ever been shopping with me knows, I hate it. I don't like looking for or trying on clothes; the whole thing makes me grumpy. I am not so down with fashion, either. But I'm doing my best to build up a work-appropriate wardrobe, and recently got rid of all of my old crap, leaving me with...about a week's worth of clothing. If that. So I've spent the last week working up to it, and today made Rachel come with me for a massive goddamn shopping trip.

Spoils:
-New jeans (much needed)
-Adorable summer sweater in 3 colors
-Many new undies (the Gap had a 4-for-$20 sale!)
-Two button-down shirts
-A new, adorable hoodie
-An awesome non-work shirt
-Shoes!

The shoes are exciting, because I hate shopping for shoes more than anything else in the world. My feet hurt all the time and finding shoes that are comfortable and supportive but still appropriate enough for work are very, very hard to find. It took about six different stores and they ended up being the most expensive purchase of the day. (Oy.) But I'm actually quite pleased.

I still need work pants. Oy again. And now I'm exhausted.

Today, I spent about five hundred dollars. Four hundred of this was on student loans. As you can guess by the amount, I had some loans past due. This was not, however, my fault. I had them scheduled to go online, and the DL website said they were paid, and today I got an email informing me that I'm 43 days past due. This was no fun at all.

I'd be more pissed off (okay, I was more pissed off) but the guy I talked to on the phone was really, really nice.

The other hundred was on bras and underwear. Yeah, my life is exciting. However, I did deposit my last few paychecks from Ithaca today, and actually deposited more than I spent, so that's nice for my bank account.

The move is set for Saturday, by bus. I am starting to panic about finishing packing in time. Which is, of course, why I'm still up at five AM... reading bad fanfiction and watching Project Runway again. I need some sort of Project Runway specific therapy.

For fandom people: Rachel is doing a crossword puzzle.
Rachel: Three letter word for 'eye'.
Me: 'Orb.'

(I was, in fact, right. Badfic rulz0rz!)

( So I came to NY to shop... )

New York is nice. Except for the rain. That was pretty gross. However, we've been watching Scrubs, and heeheehee. Of course, we've also been watching Kim Possible and The Suite Life of Zach and Cody, but we like to pretend we haven't.

Dear God,

Don't you have better things to do than put pretty dresses on sale for me? I mean, isn't there a war going on and miracles to preform and stuff? Not that I don't appreciate the help, but I'm just sayin'.

Love and thanks,
Becky
