Red So it’s been an interesting week to say the least. Went out with a friend for dinner this evening, had a good time. Nice place. Came home to an empty house which was nice, but didn’t last long enough. But that’s where the photo comes from, the restaurant’s bathroom. Silver and red. Actually pretty cool.

Spent the earlier day trying to catch up on some things and getting a little done here and a little done there. How very typical. Now I am up late, watching Duplex. Steve bailed when he saw what movie it was but I LOVE this movie. So I’m stickin’ it out!

Rented Love in a Time of Cholera yesterday. It kinda sucked. Also rented Beyond the Gates which I thought was something else by the same name but it turned out, of course, it’s not about Ecuador but about Rwanda. Stuck it out with my father-in-law until I had to leave for a meeting but returned it without seeing the end or asking anyone what happened. Guess I’m just not in to that right now.

Elijah’s going nuts waiting for Kung Fu Panda to come out. He picked up the Xbox game at the movie store and was all, “MOMMY LYKE OMG MOMMY PAY ATTENTION IT’S KUNGGGGFU PANDA!!!11!!!!!1″ Too bad for him we don’t have an Xbox…

In other news… remember my swim suit? Steve threw mine in the dryer back in June or July so I had to get a new one. It took me forever but I finally found the one I wanted online. Had to order it online, too, because my closest Lane Bryant doesn’t carry swimsuits. The thing was $90 but on sale for, I think $60. It turned out to be two piece which I didn’t expect but it worked out ok. What I really liked was that the top was a square neckline, not plunging which is so not me. But they assume that because you’re bigger you must have big boobs (I no, ryte?) so our family friend was altering the thing for me. She took it and did a temporary fix and I found it was ok but it took me a long time to get with her to give it back for final altering. So when I was over there Thursday of last week, I left it with her.

Well, apparently, it sat there by her machine for nearly a week and her FOUR dobermans left it alone until Wednesday night. When she got home that evening, they’d apparently eaten it. So she says, of course, she’ll buy me a new top. The bottoms (skirtini) are ok, they were here with me. But I go to look at the website and guess what, I find the product by the old URL (thank you Firefox 3 for guessing where I’m going) but apparently it’s no longer available. So now I’m upset. Sigh. I don’t like anything else they have except for one that might be ok. On an off-chance, I emailed LB and they suggested I call or visit a local store and have them check inventory that they might have. I can guess that’s going to go nowhere. So, sigh. That was like the first one I ever really liked, in all my life. Most expensive suit I’ve probably ever had, too. I was ok when I figured I could order it again but it being unattainable just kinda depresses me.

I know, I know, how stupid to be depressed over a swim suit. I guess it’s just frustrating when you have something you really like and you can no longer have/use it because something out of your control took it away. Oh well, I’ll find a replacement and hopefully soon forget all about this one. Also, I’m not mad at our friend at all but I just wish the stupid dogs hadn’t have eaten it. They act weird when there’s something around the house that smells like someone else and apparently eat those things all the time despite their obedience training. Our friend thinks the four of them had a party with my suit. Blah. (By the way, it’s not strange for me to need a suit this time of year, some of you might remember I am trying to swim at the community center’s indoor pool with E twice a week. We haven’t been keeping up with it lately with things being so crazy but I was going to start next week again after, of course, getting my suit back.)
