The weekend, or Have I really gone shopping each day?

The answer is yes. Saturday I hit the mall with 2.0. I needed to replace my watch (the stainless coating was flaking off. That's OK for a $55 watch I've had for 4 years.). I ended up spending the most I have ever spent on a watch- it's a Seiko, but it was 50% off.

I have to go to a wedding party (they eloped in May) on the 16th. I was told the dress is "dressy casual". Which, wha? I decided I would wear a skirt. I went out to Target on Sunday and decided, "I'll just run into Marshall's and see what they have." What they had was a lovely jersey skirt in a black and white print with a gorgeous drape. Add a black Old Navy shell, and voila! My version of dressy casual.

The shell is shape-hugging, and also black, which meant I needed a new bra- all of my black ones are lacy, not smooth-cupped. So, we hit Vicky's this morning. I bought a black bra in a style I already own- I know I like it and that it's comfortable. (Thus concludes the part where you learn just a little too much about my foundation undergarments.)

I will wear said outfit with my sexy black pumps.

Yesterday I also went to Home Depot, where I bought air filters, a rasp, and a new dimmer switch. The rasp was for opening up a hole in the door to the storage shed. I've been working on replacing the knob for weeks, but the new knob did not fit into the hole that the old knob had. So, I used the rasp to make the hole bigger, and locked the shed finally!

Then I was so excited I went to install the new dimmer switch. I was extremely confident I could do it. I was also extremely wrong. I don't have lights in the dining room.

The boy is coming to help.

Isn't it nice to say "The Boy"?
