Whatta Day!

I had a very productive day, even though it was the start of my 4 days weekend. I left around 10 AM for Revivals; I had those stupid "Members Only" jackets to donate along with a bag of stuff John gave me for goodwill. They did have anything good there for me to use for my Edna Turnblad costume, even though the guy behind the counter kept saying, "All clothing is $1!" But alas, no glamorous dress or frumpy house-coats to be found. I then headed over to Ross (dress for less) to see what they had. I found two outfits, one that I knew would be perfect, and the other a back-up. It was kind of funny at the check stand; the customer behind me just loved the dress I got. I went home and tried them both on with the fat suit, and I had a winner. So after lunch I went back to the mall to return the other dress and bought some pumps at Payless that work so well with the dress. I thought I would be a size 12, however, size 11 was even too big. The size 10's pinched a little, but at least I know they will stay on my feet. I went to Steinmart, where I found some clip-on earrings and a little butterfly pin to keep the top of my new dress closed since I don't have "real" cleavage. I bought some pantyhose and came to the realization that I am going to have to shave. Face, legs, arm pits. It would be pretty gnarly to leave that hair on my body. I ended up winning an auction on eBay for a housecoat, it looks pretty drab, which will be perfect. I'm going to marry that with a pair of slippers I knitted a while ago and a wig with curlers in it. That will be my dowdy Edna look. I have a feeling I'm going to bring the house down with glamorous Edna. It is just so comical.
I had my hair appoint with John K at 4 PM, and then dinner with Brook at 7. We went to the new restaurant on Arenas, Cafe Palette, and the food was very good. We then walked over to Spurline, where they were setting up for karaoke. I sang 3 songs, and then Brook invited me back to the place he is staying at. It was a nice sleep over, although I must say I need more work with the bump master. 'nuff said.
