As if there weren't enough fabulousness in my life

A few things, not to do with Philip Glass. One, on the mundane but practical side, today is sunny and breezy, so I'm doing a bunch of hand-washing that can then dry outside. Two: yesterday I spent a few fun hours with [livejournal.com profile] snottygrrl that was primarily to do with her new chairs, but ended up being a fabulous shopping spree at the most incredible thrift store I've yet gone to in Portland, Better Bargains Thrift Store. Now I need more clothes like a hole in my head, but I did cull a lot before moving cross-country and there were just great finds! Including random pieces of artwork/handcrafts and me buying a lot of green clothes. [livejournal.com profile] snottygrrl said that green represents the heart chakra, so I'm intrigued by what that means at this point in my life. Three, I found out that my other stepsister, the older one (but still younger than I am by four years) is three months pregnant. I'll phone her soon.

Last, but definitely not least: I went by the store on my way home because one of the Opera former young artists (who sat behind me at the Glass event last night) mentioned nachos, and I decided I really wanted to make some. Oh, and have I mentioned that my housemate is gone for two and a half days??!! :D :D :D It's just me and the cats!!! So I bought an avocado and was going along the aisles when I saw… Tim Tams. I couldn't believe it. Apparently they've decided to try them on a U.S. market or something. You'd better believe I bought them and will have them with my lunch, whatever that ends up being.

It makes me so happy to see all the great things happening for you on all fronts! Your clothes sound wonderful! (you know how I love green). I love thrift shopping! I just wish we had a place like you described. The ones here are boring, but once in a while you can find a treasure.

And there can never be enough fabulousness in your life, dear - you deserve it all!! <3 <3

It's a pretty fabulous week! I'm sorry I've not been able to reply to your wonderful email; it's definitely on my list for this weekend and I'll enjoy spending the time writing. :)

Thank you for your kind words!
