Dear LJ,
Been a while.
We're going to the symphony in Chicago, which means I get to buy something new to wear.
I'm trying to drop a little of the weight I've put on in the past couple months.
Nothing too crazy, 5 or so.. I just want the little chunk around my armpits gone because I want to do a strapless dress.
Thinking red dress, black opaque tights, booties, and a big ol' cocktail ring.
(Little black clutch and my Marc Jacobs coat.) Mebbe throw a giant black caridgan over the top.
It's going to be brilliant.
Since I'm sticking with the lbd for the holiday party, I thought I should maybe try some colour.
Dad's out of town this weekend, I'm working Thanksgiving, driving to Missouri early Saturday and then turning right back around Sunday night for family pictures.
Tina's going with me, so at least I won't have to make the drive by myself.
I've almost packed up my room at dad's old house, and will be moving most of my stuff to mom's until dad gets moved into his new house the second week of december.
This was a bad time to decide to buy houses and move, but I'm ridiculously proud of both of them.
Work is going well. Still trying to make as much money as possible. Got my benefits, and counting down.. 3 mos until I get my 401k! I plan on working Christmas and New Years.. I want to pay my first semester back at school up front in full. My parents have it worked so mom pays 1/3 dad pays 1/3 and I pay 1/3 but if I pay for the full first semester myself, I can just take their 2/3 and pay for the second semester as well. That way I won't have to worry about payments coming out of my checks. I can use the summer to save and do the same thing for my second year. Working 4 ten hour shifts a week and two 6 hour days at ICC is going to bust my balls.
Love always,
Emily
