Life in general

Ok. Quick update mostly because I don't want to write and partially because I should.

I wasted my long weekend. Sort of.

I did however manage to:

- Get ahead as I finished Beloved.
- Visit everyone at the Galleria. Grab dinner & dessert. Walk around.
- Start a new section for my website.

A little more detail.

Niki, Mary, & Steph were all doing Style Show so they just rented a room so they wouldn't have to drive all the way out to be there at 7 AM the next morning. So they invited me to come up have dinner, and shop for Steph's prom dress/graduation dresses. We went to la Madeline, which I usually love. The service was beyond bad and I was really agravated. They screwed up my order so I corrected the cashier, I thought it was fixed. They brought out Mary & Niki's cooked food and I was still waiting for a salad. So I went to talk to them. My order was still messed up which I think they wanted to pin on me. It didn't matter, whatever they thought I ordered STILL wasn't out and my friends were half way through their food. I got what I wanted, I thought it was cheaper but the guy was like "actually.. its more expensive, but don't worry about it ::little finger-point like a gun::. Ok. For one thing, I'm still pretty sure he owed me money. Second of all, DAMN RIGHT THAT I SHOULDN'T WORRY ABOUT IT! If I was a self-righteous bitch, or at least REALL REALLY one.. I would have demanded the whole thing be comped. If I was super insane, I would have demand everyone at my table's food be comped. They were mopping where you order - total saftey hazard! Ok.. too far. Anyway.. I just bitched about it when I got back with my food. I'm still bitching. UGH! Infuriating. Steph actually did slip on some water in front of Betsey Johnson though. Stupid Galleria.

We had some hilarity finding Steph a dress. We had some hits and some HUGE misses. I went to go get a different size for her when the one I was grabbing got tangled on another in the same size. All I could see was that it was a halter & black which was not strapless, spaghetti straps, or bright - things Steph didn't want. From the dressing room, she yelled something like "SARAH! Are you crazy?! I'm coming out!" She came out and this thing was PLUNGING. Omg. I laughed so hard I thought I was going to pee. I hopped out of the fitting room area with my legs crossed and asked the cashier where the bathroom was only to find it was on the second floor. I really didn't have to pee but I had to enough that laughing uncontrolably was a danger. I went back in to see her staring at me with disbelief and pointing to the giant valley down the front. I just ran to the bathroom. She did find a pretty one (the one that I was trying to grab when the unfortunate black J-Lo number got tangled in).

We went to the Cheesecake factory and got REALLY good cheesecake and a huge Sundae. It was super fun. I was going to stay but it was going to be too hard at home to figure out the "car situation" seeing as I had the one my dad needed to take to work the next morning. It was probably for the better seeing as they had to be downstairs at 7.

I'm putting together a new HUGE thing for my website. I'm doing an online portfolio of everything I have. It's a massive effort, probably the largest thing I've ever done. I have the portfolio layout which I made out of this silly picture I took of myself. I have a title, "chiaroscuro." Woo, art history! I have my first tier subpages done. I'm working on the second tier subpages for the first subpage. It is divided into 5 sections.

- Web Design
- Digital Art
- Drawings
- Projects
- Photos

So right now I'm working on "Web Design" which means making thumbnails of all my layouts and smaller versions of them, with a copyright stamp on them (there are some total sicko's out there that will take your stuff, butcher it, and call it their own - a lot of little tweens from Dutch freeservers, in particular). I still have to do all of my FC.nu layouts used/unused and all of my LJ layouts and the ones I did for other people. Crazy!

Ah but I'm excited.

I need to scamper off to bed so I can wake up at least 15 minutes earlier than usual tomorrow.

I love La Madeleine, but their service ALWAYS sucks. I guess it's a sliding scale; the better the food, the worse the service.
