Wasted Wednesdays

I do not participate in Throwback Thursdays because I think it's lame. But I do have a biweekly Wasted Wednesday. "Wasted" doesn't necessarily mean booze, but I will allow it when available. By "wasted" I mean that I refuse to do anything constructive and do exactly whatever I want. I leave the house so I won't clean or do laundry and grocery shopping is forbidden (I do have to be home by 3pm for my nap and Tom & Jerry).

For the past few Wasted Wednesdays I have been giving a barstool the shape of my ass at Thunder Burger in Georgetown. I ate a burger there that sent me into a moderate coma so I've been sticking to the fish 'n chips and I'll save the Ventura Highway burger for every third visit. 

And today there was this on tap...

Yes. Sweet Baby Jesus.

And it all ended with this...

The weather drastically changed today so it's jeans and those Kurt Geiger chelsea boots I've been talking about since the spring. Also check my new Henri Bendel stretchy bracelet. I scooped it while I was waiting to stalk Bryanboy last Saturday but that's a story for another day...

Not So Crude Oil

I did it. I dropped $70 on BODY OIL. After this Tom Ford Neroli Portofino oil popped up on my Pinterest feed all like "hey gurrrrl", I've been researching a more reasonably priced alternative. Then I remembered how this always goes. I'll try out all of these other products just to realize I could have spent the same amount or less for what I really wanted in the first place. 

Neroli reminds me of my childhood. My Dad used to buy White Shoulders for my Mom and orange blossom is one of the main notes. (Yes, back in the day White Shoulders was more department store and less drugstore.) The counter guy with the afro ponytail at Nordstrom told me that $70 is a great value because the fragrance is so concentrated that I only need to use a little. In fact he showed me the bottle he used during the free massage event and only a tiny bit was used. Yep. They were giving out free massages by a dude with an afro ponytail.

Budget Crisis

Times got really tough during the shutdown. Enter my dad's vintage Gap cut-off's circa 1970-something. I haven't been able to stuff myself into these since college so I was a quite full of myself that they were actually a comfortable fit. Then I quickly recalled that my Dad wore them every Saturday morning to mow the lawn. So I've lost weight yet I'm still as big as a man. Eh, I'm over it. I'll just celebrate my inner Tobias...
