I'm pretty sure I'm a giant emergency preparedness fail. Unless you count having plenty of paper towels.

Have marketed (no empanadas and bread guy was cleaned out when I got there at 9:30!,) pedicured, and Targetted. Now I will tape and apply stripper. Then pool and TJs followed by more stripping and some laundry. Trying to get a lot of the regular stuff out of the way because I need to do shoe shopping tomorrow.

ita, [link] says it has VCR-> DVD dubbing

Thank, -t. Refurbished is exactly my target market.

I think I've given up on the bookshelf thing for today. I've pretty much clogged up all my wall space. Not enough storage room in this apartment, dammit.

Just participated in a 15 comics meme. Now to wake from that reverie.

Anyone want to help me think about shoes? I did go to DSW and came back with three pairs. Oops. One is these, for commuting, so that's fine.

One is these in black patent, and I LOVE them, but they were a little expensive, given I don't know what they are really for. Dress-up day at work, I guess. Or general winter dress-up. I kind of feel like I should return them, but I love them!

The last one is the real question, and of course I can't find them online. I need shoes to wear with a navy dress to a wedding next weekend, so I was looking for silver (not gold, to wear with navy, right?). I got some slingback pumps that are "aluminum" color, pointy toe, brown heel. I'm afraid maybe they aren't dressy enough, and maybe I should get something more like these, but satin??

Wait, those require a VCR. Hmm.

-t got there first, but yeah - I was thinking of a unit with both VHS and DVD recording built in. If you were more local, I could lend you one from my office but I don't think my boss would be too keen on my shipping one to LA.

OK, here's a cellphone picture of the last shoes: [link]

Jesse, I think those shoes are perfectly dressy enough for a wedding.

OK, thanks! I was afraid I was in a fugue state of buying for a minute there. I was hoping for a cute red pedi, which now wouldn't be seen, but oh well. Maybe I'll try Filene's Basement tomorrow, but I do hate shopping.

I like those, too, Jesse.
