Consumerism galore
Dec. 14th, 2010 03:41 pmBut I almost exclusively bought things I really need.
3 pairs of warm sports pants, Nike, for less than € 100.
New tennis and running shoes, Adidas.
Nice brown boots, low heel, very warm but quite elegant. Not suede, but still nice. (We're crossing the thin line between "need" and "want" here)
A bit of fancy jewellery.
And then, because I had lunch with Alexandra in order to give her some food for Lola, and because we both felt the urge to enter MANGO, I also got a short but not overly slutty black leather skirt, on the grounds that it's such a combinable piece of clothing.
So I was practically being very good.
And I had to compensate for participating at HoMs meeting and sitting through an extremely boring speech by the President of the Republic at the parliament.
Also, very healthy lunch: vegetable broth, grilled squid, salad. Practically saintly. Plus, I discouraged Alexandra from having chocolate cake, which earns me more saintly points.
Gym after work, and then an evening at home (pedicure, much needed). I meant to stay home yesterday, but then Alexandra asked whether I wouldn't like to drop in for a glass of wine and a bit of Lola-cuddling, and who can resist such an offer.
Tomorrow, rather impromptu gathering of friends at my place. I'm not going to cook, so it'll just be cheese, ham, olives, wine etc., and I'll prepare a simple salad, too.
I need household insurance, and there is a Holy Grail among Alexandra's staff (she's the head of an Austrian insurance company's office here in Skopje). Guess what, Holy Grail deals with household insurance. He's Macedonian, and I'm not especially fond of his voice, but will meet him anyway, because Alexandra said he's good-looking and fun. After all, you never know. And I really need that insurance -- not that I'm afraid of burglary or anything, but if there's an earthquake or civil war or whatever, I want to be able to replace my CD and DVD collections. Not that any of that would be of much interest if anything happened to ze boyz...
But, merely to chase away that thought, let me repeat that I have a short, black leather skirt. *leers*
