It’s Wednesday, which means it’s exercise day again. I’m going to try to tackle the Tahitian dance video, except I’m going back to the warm-up this time. *g* Afterwards, I plan to get a few partials together, then start reading the Blaze. I’m praying the latter goes smoothly. I’d really like to get it to my critique partners, so that I can mail it to Harlequin next week. Yah!
The water is still on, which is nice. I’m sure my neighbors are appreciating the fact that they can shower again. Management sent a note apologizing for the inconvenience…then proceeded to blame the old management company. I thought that was actually really bad form since the old management co. was excellent and well-liked, but that’s just my opinion.
Next week before the conference is going to be extremely busy. I have a dentist appt., a pilates class, and a hair appt. That doesn’t count shopping for new clothes. I don’t intend to buy much, but I wouldn’t mind an item or two. I’m still trying to decide what I’m going to wear.
A girlfriend of mine and I were talking about how hard it is to shop for Nationals because like it or not people WILL be dissecting your appearance. Obviously, I’d feel better if I weighed a lot less, but it’s not going to happen in two weeks.:( So I have to make the best of what I have to work with, which often makes shopping less than enjoyable.
It doesn’t help that I’m not a big summer clothes person. I know it’s going to be hot as blazes in Georgia. I have nothing that’s ready for 100% humidity with 90-something degree temps. Plus, I know that inside the hotels and other places the a/c will be cranked to Inuit levels. Decisions. Decisions. Decisions.

Didn’t you already shop for clothing? Hmm… I thought you posted saying so. *g* But you’re not the only one fretting over Nationals and what to wear. At Romance Divas, that the hot topic now. *lol*
by Silma July 12th, 2006 at 12:10 pmWow! Your week before Nationals is going to be a very busy one. Ugh! Dentist appointments. Hate them. Hope you can keep your sanity intact, girl! *g*
by Tempest Knight July 12th, 2006 at 12:13 pmSilma, No, I went a few months back for my local chapter, but could only find one outfit. I plan to take it to Nationals, but I think I need one more. I’m sure there are a lot of people stressing about clothes and Nationals. *ggg*
by Jordan July 12th, 2006 at 3:32 pmTempest, At least the dentist appt. is only a cleaning. *g* I will do my best. My guess is I’ll stress a couple of days before the flight. (wg)
by Jordan July 12th, 2006 at 3:33 pmShopping. Urgh. Good luck! I’m sure it’ll be more fun than pilates… : D
by Charli July 12th, 2006 at 5:11 pmCharli, Honestly, I’d rather do pilates. I hate to shop. Always have, even when I could wear cool clothes.
by Jordan July 13th, 2006 at 10:49 amI am trying soooo hard not to stress about clothes for Nationals. I still own one suit that sort of fits me (but I hear my mother groaning about the “sort of” part whenever I think about it) and a bunch of pretty, floaty skirts. People are going to have to suck it up. I’m a struggling fulltime writer. My wardrobe is pathetic!
