chocolatepotWore my new cute dress today! The museum was too chilly to have my sweater off and then when I left it was raining and cold, so yeah, but I was happy all day in it. (Selfie in the bathroom at work because I don't have an adequate mirror at home.) I wore tap pants with it and that did some good, but it does need a slip. My hair's also been pretty good over the past couple of days because I finally accepted that the water here is very very hard and I shouldn't rinse out the vinegar rinse.
So I have a tendency to be spineless ... but I've discovered that I really, really hate it when people try to manipulate me into feeling bad and letting them do something I don't want them to do. I come from two families full of mean people (some in a good way, some in a bad way) - if you have a bag of books to donate to the book sale, and I tell you that we're not taking any more because THE SALE IS STARTING IN AN HOUR, and you go, "oh ... I kept forgetting about it ..." my response is going to be to purse my lips and look judgmental until you leave. If you apologized and seemed sorry about it, I'd bend over backward to help, but if you try to make me feel bad you can piss off.
Still can't decide if I want to go to Massena this weekend and look at a Singer 327K for sale. Pros: 1960s, probably all metal parts (have to check), aqua colored. Cons: 45 minutes away, not the best vintage machine. Mom says that a neighbor has a sewing machine of some sort for sale and she's looking into that for me, hopefully it's on par or better. I don't want to drive to Massena.
I bought a bunch of books at the sale and put them in a bag, and then I LEFT THEM, like an idiot.
