Castell Harlech

Egads. It's been a long, long while since I last went shopping for ballet clothes. Actually, it was over ten years ago, and that was more like my mom saying, "that's the one!" and buying it from a catalog (whatever was cheapest, usually). And now I think I've narrowed down to where I'm going to buy them from and what, but... Maybe I just want my mom to say, "buy that!" and I'll do it. The ones that she found, however, are a nylon/lycra blend, and I found ones on another site that are a cotton/Lycra blend, and I think the cotton is better? Where I found them, the leotards and tights are cheaper, but I have to pay shipping. It, for the most part, comes out in the wash. Plus, if I get them at this site, they have some cheap warm-up shorts and a pair of gaucho pants that look like they would be mighty comfortable to wear just around the house. After all, I follow the rule that once I get home from work, I'm free to put on my comfy pants.

Ah well, I submitted my order. Can't change it now!

I also just finished my lemon cookies for Lynn, so I think I'm off to bed. My parents would be absolutely shocked to see me up this late.

So, is anyone up with the Chinatown to Chinatown bus from Boston to NYC and back again? I'm looking for a cheap way to the city in a couple of weekends from now. If you have, or know of anyone who has, had any experience with this, please let me know! I'm hopeless!

And, look! It's a picture of my grandfather back in his younger years. He's the one in the colour photo playing the trombone.

Mwhahaha. Now you know where I got my good looking nose from!
