Jun. 13th, 2006 01:28 pmI plugged my phone in last night to charge it, but was doing some weird stuff. Hard to describe. Anyway, I left it plugged in overnight, but when I woke up, it hadn't taken a charge. Grr. I plugged it in again at work today, but it was still not charging. I ended up wiping off the little metal connction points on the phone that touch other points on the charger, and tried again. Bingo! I LIKE it when things are easy to fix like that. :)
Pagans' Night Out tonight! Yay! I haven't been in what feels like ages. I might end up being bad and getting nachos for dinner because 1) it's the most filling appetizer, and $3.50 appetizers during happy hour = cheap dinner for Laura, and 2) Phoenix Landing makes excellent nachos. Yum. Ah heck, I've been good today otherwise, and I'll be doing a lot of healthy cooking for myself while the boy is out of town.
Speaking of healthy food, does anyone know of a place that has decent but cheap seafood (like, plain raw seafood, not cooked or prepared)? Fresh and frozen are both ok. McKinnon's sometimes has some, but not much. T-accessible is a must, and it can't be too far from where I live (since summer weather will thaw or warm the stuff on a long ride home.) Basically, I would LOVE to find a place that is for seafood what McKinnon's is for meat.
Tomorrow after work, I am definitely going to hit Garment District again. What I REALLY need are shoes. I tried DSW's clearance section yesterday, as well as Payless and Marshall's downtown, but of those three places, only DSW had black pump-like shoes in my size, and none of them actually fit me well. Grr. I wish the surfaces in this town weren't so hard on my shoes. I can't tell you how many times I've felt my heel slip into a big crack between bricks or cobblestones or something, and lost a heel cap because of it. It happens to at least one if not both shoes in each pair of slender-heeled shoes I buy. And it's not like these are stilettos, either. They just aren't hugely chunky. I also need to buy a pair of sneakers to wear outside, or maybe (at least for the summer) I'll start wearing my Tevas whenever I need to walk around outside. *sigh*

Date: 2006-06-14 09:13 pm (UTC)I am a walker, but I like to look stylish and professional on my feet. Pretty hard. For a while, I had good walking/working shoes, but I was stooopid and didn't get 2 pairs of each of those wonderful summer sandals. This summer, I find myself without good shoes for walking, summer weather and working :(
If you have any luck in finding something cute let me know. I kept visiting Zappos.com looking for my old shoes and no luck.
