That actually went pretty well. No major injury to either of us or the sets. There was some damage to some of the wood, but a bit of spray paint will fix us up right. How lucky that Sammy ran across an assistant with a background in art!
Back at the apartment, I got dressed for the day and set out to find a nail salon. My mani is looking
peti-ful (eh??). Throwing $30+ at my nails every few weeks is impractical and impossible. Not wise spending. So I found the nearest beauty supply store and tried that instead. A good emory board and a nice top coat, plus a fresh white tip polish did the trick. Almost as good as the real deal at a fraction of the cost. Hooray thrift!
In the same little plaza I found an bakery with Arabic writing on the sign. They sold lots besides baked goods, in fact those were hardly even featured. There were head scarves and arm covers and shoes. Interesting stuff. I also found a set of violin strings at a music store next door. It only cost $20 when I expected to pay about $40. At the Family Dollar I found a measuring cup. For the second time in my life I find myself cooking in a bachelor's kitchen. His diet consists largely of hot dogs so I didn't have high hopes for his cookwear collection. Maybe he does have a measuring cup. If so, now he has two.
Then I went back to Thrift Smart. I am a big fan of this place. It's just fun to look around there. Of course the minute I walked in I could hear the shoes calling me from the back of the store. I even found some that fit. They were fun!
After walking down the aisle in them and seeing them on me in the mirror, I asked myself: Cinderella or Stripper?
I took them off and looked at the brand name
Mmm...stripper.
I left them there.
This has been an in-depth summary of my downtime. Thank you for reading.
