the cocktail dress

i just got back from shopping. let me say that shopping in austin is so much more draining than shopping in b-town. i guess that's like the difference between 900,000 people though.

i had to go buy a dress for jeremy's company's christmas party. the attire is for women to wear a nice elegant cocktail dress. at first, i got jeremy to let me wear a pant suit instead but then i thought i didn't want us to be too alienated. i don't have any real dresses so i had to go buy one. i tried to find shoes but i'm not used to buying expensive footwear so i was too uncomfortable having someone help me put shoes on my feet. i just gave up on the shoe thing. i'll go get something from payless or something. it's only for one night anyhow. i thought about keeping the tag on the dress so i could return it.

on the way home, i stopped by walgreens and bought some christmas things. i got some candy canes for the light tree and some red and green m&ms for the candy jar. i also got some wrapping ribbons. i contemplated on getting some cheap xmas cards but i think i might print my own out this year. we'll see.

jeremy called while i was on my way back and told me he was going to be really late coming home.. like 9-10pm. i want to wait for him to eat dinner so i'm snacking on chips and salsa right now. i'm starving.
