....being that I am unemployed and supposedly have nothing better to do...
Today I went into San Francisco to DSW warehouse and then on to Chinatown. A good walk about the City wandering in and out of various bathrooms and shops does one good.
Yes, I did buy shoes* and yes, I bought myself a small silk zipper pouch and a wee bit larger messenger bag at my fav shop in Chinatown, said hi to the giant wooden willie and then made my way home.
And now I'm sitting here in my new shoes ** (oooh they sure are comfy!) typing up a blog post. Cos I've got nothing better to do.
*No way in hell did I pay that much. I paid less than $40. What I REALLY want now are these. Can't wait til they hit the discount shops....
** I have a thing for born and boc shoes...

Happy Birthday to MEeeeeee - Now with edited updates!!!
Yes, today is my b-day. If you are keeping track, I'm 46 today. On the other side of "mid-40's" getting close to 50. Sigh.
Yeah, I have mixed feelings about today. Add to that the fact that the high temp will most likely be 100F and well, whatever. Birthday ennui.
ETA: Not sure if it got that hot, but for a while there this afternoon, it was pretty damn close while we walked about. Gah.
There are plans for the day...once they are started, I should feel better about things.
An online chat with Honey.
ETA: I misses you lots.
Lunch with Spencer at our favorite deli. Then on the bus and off to the movies for the matinee showing of the new Harry Potter movie. YAY!!!!
Either before or after the movie, it's a quick trip to the bead store to get some stuff for Friday's class. I don't think that the stuff I ordered online is going to make it in time. It took forever for my payment to clear the bank, so shipment was delayed. Stupid banking system! I only need a few curved tube beads and 30 inches of flexible wire. sigh.
ETA: My stuff showed up today! What a wonderful b-day surprise. The postman was delivering to the boxes as we were leaving and we just about tackled him looking for stuff (we're waiting for a few other things as well). Got my jewelry bits order and a few b-day cards!
There are cards...here's the one Honey sent me...hee hee hee
ETA: Selected by Cow - who thought I should get a cow card, but all he could find was sheep.
And gifts....when we renewed our cell phone family plan, we upgraded and Mom was kind enough to pony up the extra cash to get me this cool whiz bang phone. I've had it since May-ish and I absolutely love it! Thanks Mom!!!!
Others have been teasing me with "you have to wait til dinner to get your presents" (you evil person, you know who you are) and Spencer is on his way soon and says he has a card and gift for me. Going to open that one right away!
ETA: Evil person finally gave up the goods - some makeup goodies, a gift card, and a cute little polka dot bag which is already packed full of jewelry class supplies - you all know how I love my bags!!! Spencer gave me a gift certificate to the local art supply store! My friends and family know me way too well! I LOVE EVERYTHING!!!! THANKS A BUNCH!!!!
Drawing class was fun again...my classmates seem to have calmed down a bit and are now telling each other to shut up. I managed to snag a seat right up front so I could see and hear everything! Found out why after about 5 min into the class. Seems the a/c blows right on that spot and the one next to me - which happened to remain empty for the entire class. Several people sat there and as soon as the a/c came on again they went running for the hills complaining about bad nerves, this, that or the other malady that would act up if the a/c blew on them for 3 hours. Ahhh...peace and quiet!!! Guess that's my territory now! I especially enjoy the a/c blowing on me after a hot ride to class. heh heh heh
Yesterday, we did faces and then concentrated on eyes. That was really cool. Someday I promise to scan in my stuff as I've discovered I really CAN draw. I get that from my Dad. My drawings are not perfect, but that's ok, you can tell what they are supposed to be and my faces actually have features and don't just look like smiley faces. hee hee hee With practice I'll get better and better. I am SO GLAD I took this class!!!!

Art Art Art....
Yes, I'm going to drive you all bat shit crazy until this doggone Art Class starts...I'm not on the bus to Psychoville alone folks...I'm taking you all with me. Hee hee hee.
After my doc appt, I went down the street for some retail therapy. Oh, and it's not my fault that Ross is just steps away from the Art Store. Not my fault at all.
I found a set of 3 sketchbooks... 5x8, 8x10 and 11x14 sizes in a pack for $20. Can't go wrong there. Here it all is...
and yes...that IS my Buttercup pencil sharpener! Gotta have Buttercup along! :)
And YES...YOU CAUGHT ME!!! I bought a new tote bag to carry it all.
It was on Clearance! (Ross of course). It's Graphic! It has all my favorite colors! I can fit my largest sketch book in it! It's just SO. DAMN. CUTE. !!!!!!
It said "Take me home with you please!" So it came home with me. It said "please".
Oh, and it's got a pocket just the right size for Ms Cow to fit in...she's my creative partner, so of course she's coming along. :)
I am ready now for my first day of class. All my new and not-so-new supplies all packed in my new bag. July 7th can NOT come soon enough!!!!
Don't say I didn't warn you.
Oh, and there will be no - "what am I going to wear to school?" in the Chaos. I'll be riding my bike every week, so it will be the usual bike friendly outfits and the pre-requisite braids. Comfortable but not very fashionable.
Almost like a uniform. :)
