New School and Numbers

So in trying to get over my "Bored Now" crisis/thing . . . I decided to get up "early" and go to Cranbrook. Perfect plan. See some art, laugh at some nart. I get in free because I'm a member at the DIA. It was going to be a famous day. And I could shop (for school even! tax write off) in the gift shop downstairs. Maybe even a walk in the woods for old times sake.

Alarm went off at 8:30. Went back to sleep because I was having an interesting dream. Phone rang at 10. Went to see if someone was dying by checking phone at 10:30. No one was dying. Bop-Bop called to update me on his achievements. And I thought we weren't going to be talking anymore.

So had the inspiration to check the website before driving off to the fairyland that is Cranbrook (take that however you wish) . . . and Cranbrook art museum is closed on Monday and Tuesday. So much for having a plan. So back to "bored now".

So bought the new Matthew Good music, new school, not touching anything. But I will load it on my ipod and get out into the rain. Perhaps I will go buy little tiny diamond earrings. Or go to Old Navy and buy cheap sundresses. Or maybe to Rochester to look at their yarn store. The old rainy day standby is Somerset, or course. There are new school clothes to buy.

Just to go back to the diamond earrings . . . perhaps it's because I know more about it, but I'm seriously OCD about numbers. I can only use certain lockers at the Y. Very superstitious about numbers. And had pierced my ear again, because I had five holes and felt better about an even number. But I have lost two tiny diamond earrings, so am down to four earrings . . . and really I feel the need for six. Also, the more I shop for earrings, the more I realized how much I am like my mother. It is very apparent, while shopping for earrings, that some people change their earrings from day-to-day. I get one pair (or three pairs more exactly) that I like and then just keep them in at all times. My mother wore the same gold posts for most of my childhood. Now she wears diamonds. Anyhow, I feel the need for six earrings and it's damn hard to find plain old little earrings.

I'll let you know how it turns out.
