They Say What They Say

A merry time was had by all at out_there's last night. We ate pizza and cake and had shots of alcoholic beverages and squeed over various fandoms which included liberal doses of Sports Night. I failed at about 2.00am, but I did leave behind a hardy group of dedicated fangirls whose stamina was greater than mine.

But having borrowed my brother's car to go out last night, I'm now back to doing the will I/won't I thing over buying new car. I had the car for most of the day and was able to get some things done that I wouldn't have been able to do on my bike. Stuff like taking all my laundry to the laundromat to dry and picking up my new blanket and pillows from K-Mart. I mean I could have done those things on the bike, but it would have been a pain (especially since it's been raining for most of the day) and I wouldn't have been able to do it all at once like I did with the car.

Gah, I don't know. On the one hand it'd be really handy, but on the flip-side I don't like driving that much and with the price of petrol they're getting more and more expensive to run.

I'll think about it and see what happens.

Meanwhile, a more pressing need has arisen; I need new bed linen.

You see, for ages now I've had this fairly consistent theme of greens, mauves and yellows happening. All my linen and blankets have toned in in together so it didn't matter what set I was using, it'd all blended nicely. Now I've bought this spiffy new raspberry coloured blanket and nothing matches as well as it used to. Granted one of my doona covers has pretty much passed it's use-by date and I've been wanting to replace it for a while, but the other is not that old and I want to keep using it.

Also I'm notoriously fussy when it comes to these things (it took me about five years to choose a lamp!) and I just know I'll spend the next few months faffing around with sheets and doona covers without getting anywhere. I get this idea of what I want, but then nothing I see matches the fantasy so I end up with nothing.

Except for shoes, of course. I have no problem choosing shoes. Hence my latest ebay purchase:



Aren't they cute!

I've also got my eye on a pair of red sandals with a stacked heel that I saw in Midas in Lygon street on Wednesday. I'm going to try them on next week and will probably put them on layby when I get paid on Friday. And yesterday I saw a really cute pair of green stilettos at Joanne Mercer that I also want to try. Amusingly enough their style name is 'Casey' so I suspect they were meant to be.
