Shopping, reading, my car and SPIDEY

(Marvel, you are awesome! Thanks for the pic!)




I SCORED today at Goodwill! I've been looking for a new wardrobe, pretty consistently, at thrift stores and have come up empty. Today, I hit the jackpot! Ten tops, three bottoms and shoes all for about $50! YAY! I might post pics later. If I do, let me know what you think; I'm a TERRIBLE judge of what suits me.
Which is why I'm going to go shopping again, in about a month. Museum Girl very sweetly offered to go shopping with me, and, as she always looks really polished and put-together (and has kick-ass jewelry), I'm going to accept and we'll figure out a date. Right now is super-busy for both of us, so we can hold off for a while. I'd like to check out some new stores, like Pink Blvd (http://www.pinkblvdclothing.com - sorry, I couldn't make it "clicky") and some old faves, like Ann Taylor and Talbot's. And maybe Banana Republic, but their colors are dull.

Also, here is Edward Cullen:

I've enjoyed the Twilight series so far (by Stephenie Meyer) and am waiting VERY impatiently for the fourth and final book. The series is intended for the teen market, but I like it, anyway. The girl is a regular Jane, not a richy or a supermodel or perfect. She's just a regular kid. I remember the all-consuming and irresponsible love I had for my first love (oh, my god, what a saga) and this brings it all fresh to my memory (and not without a bit of pain). The movie based on Twilight comes out in December. If you have a teen, particularly a teen girl, you know all of this already!

This is what I drive. She's an automatic trannie, not a lot of get up and go. But she does what she has to! One of my favorite things is to turn a corner really fast and sharply while braking so she kind of slides or "drifts" around the corner. Very effective for making red lights! hee hee! People just don't expect a Prius to behave that way!


Now, I'm off to go catch up on my Spider-Man comics. Jim at Argos Books is a gem! He'll track down used books for my and he saves three Spidey titles for me and doesn't get mad when it takes me a fiscal quarter to pick them up!
