i didn't sleep well last night, even though it was friday night and i could theorectically have slept late. kevin usually does morning duty on saturday, but i can't sleep, so here i am....
i just checked my ebay, and my auctions are up to over $300 now. they start ending in about 3 hours, so i'll be interested to see the final total tomorrow night when they have all ended. but i had hoped to make over $300, so i am satisfied! :)
i went to dinner last night with some friends from grad school who had come into town. it was so fun to see them--they are sweet girls, and it was nice to have a meal in peace (translation: with no children!). we went to the new country club here, and it was interesting. i am not a member (although we did look into it a couple of years ago when it was brand new and decided against it), and it wasn't really my crowd exactly. but it was interesting, none the less. my friends are running a half marathon today, so we actually ate the the spagetti dinner for the runners. after that was over, we went downstairs to the formal dining room/bar where regular members were eating and drinking. there was a guy playing the piano and singing, and he was really really good! he played songs like "piano man" and "american pie," and it reminded me so much of college hearing those songs. we sat at a big long table, and it appears that the normal thing here is to sit at big tables sort of family-style. my friends and i sat at the end and mainly talked to ourselves, but in the lulls, i watched people. the women there were, for the most part, older than i am. they were all dressed up in dresses or skirts or, in one case, leather pants and a sweater lined with fur. lots of makeup and accessories, but obviously expensive makeup and accessories. and although i was dressed well, etc, i felt out of place. they were all nice, but i just felt like i was in the wrong place, ya know? it was a strange sensation for me. i wonder if i would have felt that way if i had joined?
i am in a little scrapping slump. i go thorugh creative spurts, and i am on the tail end of one...it will hit again, and i will try to work through it, but i hate these dry spells!
i have some good news, but i am going to wait till it is official today! :)
i'll update later!
