It is amazing how the weeks fly by and most days are taken up with errands. You would think when your by yourself that you wouldn't have to do so many things.
Monday morning I drove over to my alteration lady who lives a couple miles away. I found a perfect black crepe evening gown by Vera Wang for the Marine Corps Ball. It is elegant and understated. However, the back was slightly longer then the front and that posed a problem. If one dances you are stepping on the train. It was just enough to be annoying. Also took over a French lace jacket that goes with a black velvet gown. I have a Marilyn Monroe dress in black, the one she wore in the Seven Year Itch, and that needed a couple of darts. This alteration lady worked as the head seamstress at St. John Knits, so everything she does is spot on. She was definitely a wonderful find.
Monday night I went to Monday night football. Not as great as the Denver game on Sunday, which is my favorite team. I should root for the San Diego Chargers, but my interest is Denver....my brother lives in Colorado and has been a season ticket holder for many years. He was the one that sparked my interest in the team. Being from a football town in Ohio it is my professional game of choice. I find that baseball is like watching grass grow, basketball is okay, at least it is fast, and the rest are just so-so.
September 11 being the horrible day it was so many years ago, went by with a meeting to pack boxes to go to Afghanistan. The transit company came to pick up the sofa and I again have an empty living room
I went over to the furniture store where they gave me my total amount of money back. After that I drove to five different stores and finally decided I'd buy an inexpensive sectional and keep it for a couple of years until I find exactly what I want. Nothing easy!
I was so upset by this sofa thing that I emailed Bruno to vent. He sent me an email back saying, "honey go ahead and vent and it will be fine." Then later he called and left a message. He actually put things in perspective. His comment was, "It's just a couch." He is right. With all the terrible things going on in the world a problem with a stupid sofa isn't a big deal in the long range scheme of things. My sensible German.
Wednesday I had an appointment to get my hair cut and after running around all day I landed there at four o'clock. My hairdresser who I have been gong to for at least twelve years has moved four times, but I love her and at least she stays in the area.
Thursday was dinner with my friend from my old neighborhood, we manage to go out at least once every month or two to catch up.
Friday was a movie with my good friend and Friday night another meeting for the Marine Corp Ball. Vet man wanted to discuss things further and took me to The Old Ship restaurant for dinner. I'm sure tongues wagged at us walking out the door. He is going through a hard time with his dog who is elderly and a Lab. He isn't doing well and it is just a matter of time.
I'm home today, Saturday and have a million things to get done so I better get moving.
Have a great rest of the weekend.
