The Day of the Eve of Giftmas

cleolindaPleasantly busy day, it looks like. Howling winds outside, actually, but sunnyish, so that's fine.
Have to wrap presents later. I hate wrapping presents. I mean, I do an okay job of it in the end, and I like presents to be wrapped, but it usually involves me wrestling with a large, fragile sheet of shiny paper for about fifteen minutes.
Still have to take certain pictures. TLB went missing earlier this morning, but was eventually located. I would rather not discuss how the tableshelf ended up covered in maple syrup.
Lizzie's McAfee trial ran out, so I was like, the hell with this, I'm putting AVG on. So now I'm having to do all the scans and setups and whatever, but I hear it's better anyway.
(I am really glad it has a rootkit scan, because isn't that what Sony put on its CDs for a while there?)
For those of you keeping track on the Aromaleigh front, Wish is really pretty with Damask. It's a similar look to Chloe/Amelie, but more pink and less peach.
My feet are killing me, which suggests to me that I need new/better shoes, or some kind of comfort-inducing insert (although those "I'm Gellin'!" commercials make me want to slap someone). I actually want to go buy me some Chucks with my next round of book money, although I doubt those will have any kind of support. Hm. I just want some of those because I rarely get more formal than sneakers, but Chucks are an ever-so-slightly more sophisticated aesthetic than scuffed tennis shoes, you know? And you can customize them! I kind of want to make a purple plaid. I do not see any way to order a foot massage, however.

Narrow feet? I feel your pain.
Date: 2009-12-25 08:26 pm (UTC)I mean, I'm actually *in* Europe, but narrow feet with high arches will make shoe shopping a living nightmare even here, especially if you're low on funds. It's very nearly impossible to find shoes that a)fit my feet b)look decentand c)are in my price range.
Gel insoles are incredible, though. I have these very high open-toed stilettos, see, and they'd be a lot less comfortable if I hadn't put in some gel inlays for the balls of my feet. :)
Yeah, and *ridiculously* narrow heels.

Date: 2009-12-26 04:05 pm (UTC)I get the need for support etc., though. Especially since I'm studying to be a teacher, heh.
