I just received a dress today, and I can't believe that I made such a dumb mistake as I made. As most women know, women's sizes are all across the chart. Depending on the vendor, I run from being a woman's size 1X to 5X. Usually, I order size 3X when ordering from Catherine's, and 2X when I'm ordering from Woman Within. Because I wanted to avoid the BOGO 50% off deal, and get the above dress at 75% of list price, I ordered it through Amazon. But I made one BIG mistake. Being a size 28, many of the places I shop at put me into a 3X dress, as consistent with the sizing on the Catherine's site. But this dress has a Woman Within label, and a size 3X is a size 30-32. I'll have to return it before I travel. (As if I didn't need any more things do I?)

Getting home after a weekend with RQS is a little sad. Yet, there's a part of me that still enjoys being by myself, and not having to answer to anyone. Today was one of those days. I always enjoy it when we're together. But sometimes, I like being alone. I guess many widows and widowers get this way in our old age. But I had the chance to see my neighbors, and inform them of my travel plans. They will look for any deliveries that come after mid week, and hold them for me until I get back from my trip. It pays to have good relationships with one's neighbors.

Once inside my apartment, I proceeded to take care of installing a 6 outlet adapter that I had just received from Amazon. Although one can get these at Home Deport, Lowe's Target, Walmart or any decent hardware store, I decided to bundle this with the above order for ease of bookkeeping. As usual, I did things the hard way, and didn't wait until the morning to start this task. Instead, I had to look for a flashlight to see things, and then screw this in for security. I don't want to think of this again when I have my reclining sofa delivered in a couple of days.

As you can guess, I have lots left to do before my trip, and not enough time to do them....
