I also bought a rake. Leafalicious! My next-door neighbor's lawn is much, much greener than mine and it is putting me to shame. You see what I have become? One of *those* suburbian monsters who need, crave, desire to be better than their neighbors.

I paid a whole extra dollar for a new combination lock just to get the one with the blue face. I am such a wild and reckless spender.

I also did laundry, made lunch for myself and ALuCaRT and prepped pasta-making ingredients for dinner with ALuCaRT's family tonight. ALuCaRT finished fixing my computer, so I also got caught up on my paperwork and bills and things. Hooray for getting organized!

Today, I am wearing the oddest outfit. Black khakis, black/grey/white-striped shirt with a black cardigan. That's not so bad in and of itself, but the strappy metallic sandals that I'm wearing do. not. match. at. all. Obviously, I did not look in the mirror before I left home. Good thing I happened to put on a similarly metallic flower ring too, which kind of balances out the sandals. Ugh. And my pants are too loose so I feel extra ughhhy. I am fashion-challenged, but I am also young and therefore fabulous so that's okay.
