4/13/11 – Packing. How I love packing.
In a weird sort of way I do like packing because it gives me time to think and really plan out my outfits – the whole thing. Clothes, shoes, accessories. I think I’m a better dresser when I plan an outfit in advance instead of just winging it. When I don’t plan my clothes for the next day I usually wind up feeling and looking frumpy. Never a good thing. But, planning your outfit does sometimes end up badly. There are a lot of things that sound or look good in theory but in reality they look horrible. I just hope all my D.C. clothes do not fall into that category.
Last night I packed and got the house ready to go out of town. I am so excited to be going to D.C. It doesn’t seem real to me because I’ve been looking forward to this for so long. I guess that is the downfall of planning so far in advance – once it comes you can’t believe it and still want something to look forward to afterward. I have Todd’s sister’s wedding and Helen to look forward to after D.C. I like having little treats along the way during chemo.
Today has been another good day. I went in to work again and feel upbeat and good. No more carry over from chemo week.
I waged a little more war with Jessica Simpson Collection. I know I shouldn’t really hate anyone but I come very close to hating their Customer Service and just the website in general. Luckily I love American Express and have full faith in their dispute process. Power to the people! So, today after my latest disappointment from Jessica Simpson Collection I went online to see if there was a review for the item I purchased. I was going to let them have it! Full on crazy Shea. Of course the picture from the other bathing suit (ya know, the one they don’t make) was still on the website – surprise, surprise. Unfortunately Jessica Simpson Collection doesn’t believe in customer reviews. Pity. I had a scathing one to serve up. After I got over myself I took Todd’s advice and cooled down. I have more important things to worry about, right? So not worth it.
On the subject of bathing suits I did order 2 from Target yesterday. I decided that I fully trusted Target to take care of their customers properly so I chanced another online purchase of a bathing suit. I’m just ready to actually have a bathing suit that I feel comfortable in – incision fully covered – and feel cute. I should probably not even have bought a bathing suit. I really shouldn’t be in the sun at all, but really? Really? I lose a part of my colon, my hair, the ability to drink smoothies and milkshakes every other week, my good health, and deep breathing and I’m asked to also give up sun? No thank you. I decided that I would take the risk and color my hair and it didn’t turn a horrible shade of green or orange, shouldn’t tanning be similar? I think a little (stress on the little) sun is acceptable as long as I’m responsible and wear my 50 SPF. Agreed? No? I need a little sun, otherwise I look sickly.
I’m having dinner with friends tonight, but if I could have anything to eat right now I would like a chocolate glazed donut. Yup! My song of the day is “Cooler Than Me” by Mike Posner. I’ve had this stuck in my head all day. I love the part where he says “you got designer shades just to hide your face”. That’s right!
Night y’all!
