a good day......

ok, so......i had a call about 9 am from a state office, which took my breath away for a moment....as the caller said something to the affect that we had a meeting with you, but when we started around the room asking just who had called you. it seemed that nobody had actually made contact and so we have to reschedule.....that is just too funny, but indicative of what i am in for....and they offered a time slot this afternoon, which i declined because i was meeting my eldest for lunch, and one does not change these plans frivolously ....and when i left work, taking back time worked monday night.....i managed to visit 5 goodwills between h-burg, jessamine county and lexington .....not quite the record earned from a memorable outing with reese and the middle child....but darn close.....and it was the first 2 stores that racked up the big haul......pants, tops, for at least 3 persons in my buying circle......i will forward photos of the buttondowns and the spring-line structure sweater to ......well...you know.....i ended up having wine and cheese with 2 of my favorite people, artistic types who have either been to france recently or who will travel to amsterdam this spring.....the 2 framed pieces of art recently gifted from an oberlin artist were stellar.....and made me wish i had my own in-house source......well, i do, but he is rather busy these days......i did buy a replacement black purse/carryall/tote for work purposes, and though i did not pay retail i opted to buy what i liked at the marshall';s rather than search through an endless round of goodwill castoffs...that could have taken months...it was worth the price i paid.....
