Did I really say I love shopping? Somebody Slap Me!

Ugh! I'm exhausted! Took my bank forever, this morning, to figure out what was wrong with my ATM card--I kept telling them I'd never even used it..but got that suspicious, "suuure you did..." sort of look from the lady. Anyhow, that was sorted.

Then, it was off for a day of shopping around for a new (and hopefully cheap) microwave. Finally found one at WalMart for the equivilent of about 16 or 18 pounds. Even found another pair of cheap jeans for the equivilent of about 5 pounds, so did pretty well, I think. But I am rather tired...then had to lug said microwave box up two flights of stairs to the apartment. My feet and back are a bit tired, tho'.

And, still haven't been to the laundromat! Thankfully, due to last week's casual dress "treat," I still have two outfits of office acceptable attire handy. One's really meant for a more posh setting, but so they see me posh for a change, what the heck? I have a job interview set for 9am tommorrow, so it will be an early morning for me. I won't get home from work tonight until quarter past ten, so off to bed early for me. I have to take a cab to the temp agency where my interview is. I just hope this isn't going to be yet another waste of time interview. Those are the ones I call, "cattle calls." They just pull a bunch of people in for interviews--whether they are interested in you or not--and weed out the culls. I hate that...especially the one's where I used to drive an hour to get there, and spend a lot of my dwindling money on gas (and often lunch) and find out that they were just filling a quota, and the interviewer is all bored and confrontational and just plain is a pain in the behind. I hope this isn't one of those--a waste of time, cab fare and sleep. Well, guess I'll find out tommorrow.

There's a little dress shop on a side street downtown, haven't been by there in over a month--not to shop, but I liked to look--they had some gorgeous dresses, many in my rather hefty size. There was one--my God, it was...well....drop dead gorgeous--at least I think so. I'm not a fashion hound by any stretch of the imagination...don't have a clue in that department, I fear. But gosh, what a dress! It wasn't expensive, as dresses go, 50 dollars (about 25 pounds)...but too expensive for me, by a long chalk. Well, I was walking by there this morning, coming back from the bank--they are, sadly, going out of business--but, the dress is on sale for 50 percent off! I was astounded that it was still there, as I first saw it back in the spring. I'm hemming and hawing about getting it...don't really want to spend anymore money. If the microwave hadn't gone, it'd be one thing, but...I'm waiting to Friday. I'll have my last decent pay checque then, and the January 659 disabliity payment...I will go over my budget and think on it...I only own one dress--the other is strictly summer and is a size too big as I weighed 50 lbs more when I bought it 2 years ago. I don't know tho'....hate to spend the cash, but hate to not have the dress...have to sleep on it a few days--if it's still there after 9 months or so, it'll probably still be there by Friday.

Well, off to have supper and go to work for the night...cheers!
