... it's all small stuff

So my life is all about details right now. Both my ebay auctions ended last night and both items sold (for their starting bids), so I mailed that stupid wedding dress off this morning. It would have paid me back for the original purchase completely except that I had to enable credit card payments on my paypal account, which means they skim a small percentage off the top. Ah well.

As if that wasn't enough dress action for the day, my bridesmaids are about decided on a new dress, so I can probably tell them to buy it just as soon as I succeed in calling Deutschland. Thank goodness I'm buying them shoes myself, so that can be unilateral and quick.

I was walking by a Willard poster yesterday. It says From small things... comes great power. This was driving me nuts because I was sure they were making a horrible grammatical mistake: things comes? Eventually I realized that it's technically okay... great power comes from small things... but you know what? It still bugs me. And so does the fact that my face is sun/windburned despite the SPF 45 goop I had on it yesterday.

My client app never works anymore... (pasting into website)

Girl in landscape, with plum and nectarine

I feel weird today. I've been avoiding the company party and yet I'm lonely because nothing's going on anywhere I usually go online. And because I failed to call Germany. Maybe I'm weirded because so much of the stuff in my life is actually about stuff just now... selling, shipping, buying (for the wedding), whatever. I'm usually much more about, say, whatever book I happen to be reading (which I wish I could get lj to ask, btw, instead of what music I'm listening to... I may have to start putting it at the end of my posts anyway). All these THINGS are more than I enjoy dealing with.

Today's book is Girl in Landscape by Jonathan Lethem, for what it's worth. He's cool. :)

I went to the store for a plum and a nectarine, partly so I'd be in the clear to have fries at dinner tonight. Ran into the company grouch in the kitchen and was able to silence his random insults by offering him a slice of nectarine. Sharing of food can be a surprisingly powerful thing... it gets to the hungry (and inevitably social) animal in all of us.
