Seattle Bound! Again!
I'm heading back to Seattle for a bit, and as is typical, I'm rushing to get everything I've ever wanted to get done on my to-do list in less than a week. From cell phone trouble to clothing chaos, this week is probably a week I wouldn't want to re-live on the shopping front.
Telus: never going back after my contract is over. Unless they give me a sweet sweet deal. I've been looking to upgrade my plan to a smartphone. I'm not at the end of my contract, but I was told that it was possible to get a new phone, a better plan. I spent all day yesterday on the phone, and then in the store only to learn that no matter what I would need to buy a new phone because I was an existing client. Unable to get any of the promos except for the stuff I was able to haggle with the Telus rep. In the end I walked out because I couldn't understand that I, a long time customer and a person who regularly spends three times my rate plan each month, got the shit end of the stick for phone plans. Time will tell. I'm going to get a better one as my contract comes to an end.
Black Cardigans: Doesn't anyone wear these? Does anyone sell one that isn't in some synthetic material? And has a good cut? I've been to every store imaginable and all I've been able to find are cardigans that are rough enough to rub off my skin when I wear it. Closest was the Gap, but the darkest colour was navy blue.
Photo Corners: apparently no one uses these either. I had to go to a craft store in far off land (okay, south mississauga) to buy these. So I could make my hand bound and hand made paper journal look pretty with my random pictures of Seattle. I know that it'll have been worth the trip once I start filling it up.
and lastly,
fitted black booties (flats): is there anything under $300 in the style that I want? I've gone to every store psosible, searched high and low on the world wide web and nothing that I would deem "affordable". I'm considering the custom made option. Not sure yet.
I can picture what the rest of the week will look like too. Tommorrow night will be me racing to do laundry. Then I will find out that I've shrunk half my stuff. Saturday morning will be rushing to buy new stuff. Then speed packing. And then rushing off to the airport. There's a pattern to all of this, and the lesson that should be learned is that I need to do this ahead of time! Okay, not this trip necessarily... maybe next time? :S
