A Productive Evening, And Carolyn Gets Girlie

Last night I brought over my purses. I forgot how many I have. Like jewelry, everyone likes to give me purses, particularly Kathy. She's given me some of my cutest ones and I'm so bad about using them.

I also brought over some dresses and nice coats.

I stopped in Chinatown and bought two pairs of my favorite mesh-slipper shoes, one blue and one purple. My other ones are old and stuffed in a box somewhere in my old room.

Then I went to Osha and got Kai Kur, vegetarian with no chicken and no egg. I asked for added vegetables, but they ignored that request! Oh the shock when I got home.

So first, I ate. (It was still yummy, even sans veggies.)

Then I re-organized my closet.

My purses now sit in an orderly line on the shelf, ready for use. What belongs in storage has been moved to above the closet, a nice out-of-the-way spot to hold things.

I also had this big cardboard box sitting in my closet which I thought was full of things from my Grandma, such as linens, plates, towels, jewelry, etc. That's what it said on the lid at least. I was waiting to get a minute to go through it all. I thought I might as well start now...

Woo baby..!

A bunch of Maxim magazines. I remember what happened - I'd already gone through the box back when I first moved out in San Leandro. The magazines were Aaron's (Stu's friend and ex-roommate.) He'd left them in the bathroom and when I cleaned it out I dumped them all in that old box intending to recycle them. So I'd lugged this heavy box of magazines all the way from San Leandro to SF thinking they were prescious hand-me-downs from Grandma.

Anyone want some Maxim's? Hot ladies, people. Hot ladies.

So I've decided to start wearing makeup. (Not because of the Maxims, lol!)

No, I just noticed Hilde wears makeup occasionally and it really brings out her eyes and features. She's a pale, pale blonde. She looks really good with makeup. She let me borrow hers for our shoot and she has this small little purse-baggy to hold her makeup and I want to do that too. Something you can throw into any purse you use.

I have mostly stage makeup and whatever else I have is hidden somewhere in my parent's house so I'll just start over. Mascara, lipstick, blush, foundation, an eyeliner pencil or two, maybe purple/blue, or blue/green, and some eyeshadow.

I have to be careful - a little goes a long way with my face, particularly with lipstick.

I'm not in a hurry. I'll just keep an eye out and start my collection when I see the right item.

Kathy, Alex, and Andy came by work today. Alex drew me pictures of swirls and Andy babbled. Alex also typed up a storm on my typewriter. He can type Alex - with a capital "A" too.

Hmm... tonight they're coming over to see my place. I don't know where to take them for dinner.. they don't want to go somewhere pricey, I don't think they'd be up for Thai or Indian... I really haven't been to too many places yet. Maybe we'll check out Clement.

Promises to be an enjoyable evening.
