Thoughts that were duct taped to my cerebrum

don’t leave home without duct tape

Today, just because it’s random, I decided to inventory what I have in my purse. I don’t share boring things, just interesting and unique ones. Today I was rather disappointed at the lack of interesting stuff I carry around all day. I should do something about that. Anyway, the only things worth wondering at are someone else’s wallet, and a card saying I am from the FBI.

In other news, I finally got shoes for fall formal. (Yes, I’m going. Yes, by myself. No, I don’t want any boys coming with me. So there.) My shoes are really cute, I drove practically halfway across the world to get them but I think it was worth it. They are just plain black ballet flats with tiny bows, but I don’t know exactly how to describe them, they’re kinda different. (yes, the pic above is the exact same ones.) They almost stretch, but they don’t really; it’s very odd but they are comfy and they were less than $15. I like them alot. Thanks parents for sponsoring my footwear with your bank account!

Then today I went to Kohl’s to get some slippers. I’ve been needing some for a while and they went on sale this week so mom and dad let me buy some fuzzy brown ones with pom poms. They are cute and effective - they’re keeping my toes warm as I type. Also in today’s shopping adventures I found a clearance black satin headband, which will go really well with my fall formal outfit, and my hair is too short to put in an updo anyway so I am super glad I found it. It was only like $3.24 too. I kind of want to find a black clutch too and then I either have to pray for super nice weather, or get a shawl thing… Shawls are expensive! and praying is free, so I think I’ll opt for the former. Either way, I guess it should be pretty fun. Maybe I will put pictures up after, but it’ll be a while. I don’t remember when formal actually is but it’s still a couple weeks away I believe.

Speaking of pictures, pretty soon we will get our pictures back from Friday and I can show y’all my sister’s Halloween costume. It looked really cool on her so hopefully I can get some pictures up.

so, i should really be in bed right now because tomorrow is horrendous Monday…

however, i missed my blog so i thought maybe i could post something quick. the question is, what?

… * crickets chirping *

i got nothin, sorry…

oh wait, yeah i got somethin. i have to decide whether to go to fall formal this year or not. even though homeschoolers are, well, homeschooled, they still have school dances… so like, i could go if i wanted. i went last year with a date and had a pretty good time. this year i am unsure whether i want to go or not - although if i do go, it will be solo. I am really not that big on “friends” doing formals together unless it’s a big group because i feel like it makes things awkward, and i don’t have a bf (praise the Lord). i do have a dress in my closet which is begging to be loved and i have such plans to tweak it into gorgeous formal wear sometime… but i just don’t know if i want to go to the dance or not. Maybe i am being antisocial and i should. Maybe it would be a waste if i went but didn’t want to be there. hmm. this is a great quandary. Do public school seniors ponder school dances this much?

well anyways, even if i don’t go to the dance i will makeover that dress anyhow, and post a pic. it may be forever… but i promise i will. i am really excited about that dress.
