Score one for the good guys
In a shocking example of ethical fortitude, The House of Representatives exhibited an actual spine in standing up to the Bush administration. Way to go, everybody who emailed, called, and wrote letters. Go, team us!
This is my last day at work this week. How exciting! I'm taking the rest of Spring Break to stay home and work on the sewing room furniture. I hope by the weekend everything will be installed and ready for organization. Just thinking about it makes me kinda bouncy and excited. Oh, to be able to make myself some new spring clothes!
And I'm going to need some new spring clothes, because while I haven't lost that much weight, I've certainly dropped a few inches. I guess daily exercise really does work. Who knew? My jeans are sitting lower, at a new place just below my belly button. It's great, but since I'm not used to it, I'm aware of it the whole time I sit at my desk. It'll be nice to have some new dresses and skirts--much more comfortable than jeans for sitting at a desk all day, IMO.
Finally, I have a pair of Dansko Marcelles in a size too small for me (size 40 European). They go from between $55 to $132 on eBay. I'd like to get $70 for them. These are fabulous shoes, and have only been worn once (by me) for one day until I realized they were too short. These shoes (in the correct size) were the only shoes I wore the entire time in Italy, and I didn't get one single blister. They're wonderful. Just...too small. If anyone local wants them, please email me or comment below.
