Retail therapy

[ebonlock]

You know, despite the fact that yesterday was an entirely wretched day it ended on an up note, thanks in great part to the healing effects of spending gift certificates. No guilt involved with these purchases, no second thoughts, no hesitation, just spend, spend, spend! And I'm ever so pleased with what I got. First and foremost, a papasan chair of my very own. I've wanted one for about a decade and just never had anywhere to put it. Now I do, now I have more than enough space. Allow me a moment to do the space happy dance...

Ok, I'm done now. I also procured the best bath rug in the entire universe. It's light blue and fluffy and utterly decadent. As decadence is the theme for the bathroom I'm quite pleased. I also got a little toothbrush stand with glass, but I need to get a nice soapdish to go with it. I want to wait until I can see the color scheme again. I think I remember it, but my memory is unreliable at best.

I am regretting not picking up some of those ninja throwing stars to decorate the living room with, though. Ah well, I'm sure I'll be back up in Chinatown at some point in the not too distant future.

Still waiting to hear about the house. Still waiting for my yearly performance review. In short, waiting. I hate waiting. *grumble*

But class tonight, where I shall work my tail off and hope that I remember at least a little of the routine Shira started teaching us last week.

Crunches: 80
Papsans owned: 1

Congratulations again on the house! I liked seeing the picture of it; that bit of gingerbread work on the front under the window is really cute. Is that a planter box?

Papasan chairs are very comfy. And the blue bath rug and the toothbrush stand sound lovely. Nesting is so much fun!

You know Angie and I have been trying to figure out if that's a planter box just from the pic. I didn't think to check while I was there, but hopefully we'll do the walkthrough tomorrow and can confirm it one way or the other. I hope so, more planting space!

And yeah, nesting is kind of fun really, especially with a place I'm absolutely in love with.

Oh, did I hear correctly that you're taking Una's class? If so I'm going to really kick myself for not signing up }:(

Yay Ninja decoraters!
When do we get to start packing?
(I'm not taking Una's class. Maybe once all the girls move on to new hobbies and I get a fabulously paying job.)

Well, that's kind of up in the air. (See my last journal entry.)

Anyway, as you can see, I am on the waiting list and need to go back next week to find out if I'm in the class or not.

I would love to take a class with you at some point, but I am sure that you are much more advanced than me. I did try to get into Shira's class but it was full when I tried to register for it.

Megs has mentioned the possibility of semi-private lessons from Una or renting studio space from We3 when they start offering it. Maybe you might be interested in going in with us on one of those things?

Re:

I would definitely be interested. I'm also thinking of using our now spacious backyard for practice as well. And I'll be sure to post the times and prices for the next round of classes with Shira on my LJ, because it would be a lot of fun to take a class with you!

Re:

Sounds good - we'll have to keep each other updated.

I have a question: Are you taking or have you in the past taken lessons from Yolanda at the Palo Alto YMCA? If so, would you recommend her and do you have any idea if they are in the middle of a session currently or not?

Re:

I haven't taken her class, but I have considered it, so I'm afraid I can't help you out with that one.
