Journal TechnoLust's Journal: Remodeling Dining Room (Japanese) and clothes shopping. 14

Ok, so I've wanted to remodel my dining room for a while, and I finally decided on Japanese, which may or may not have anything to do with her being 1/4 Japanese, but she liked the idea, so I hit Pier 1 with a ferocity today. $250 later, I have a good start on my room. I posted some pics of the room with the new stuff in it. I have a big scroll on order, and PH found a very large piece of canvas. I'm going to get him and SH to paint me a picture to go on one of the walls. They are both decent artists, and it will mean a lot to me if they paint me something. The both study Japanese culture and martial arts, so they can make something that fits in well. I saved 10% at Pier 1.

I spent about $150 in Old Navy today. I called her and asked her opinion on some clothes. I had my friends Josh and KW from church with me. She told me to let KW pick out clothes for me, since KW has great fashion sense. So KW picked out a bunch of stuff for me to try. Most of it was things I would have picked, but some of it was stuff I wouldn't have tried or colors I wouldn't have bought, but I thought it looked good. I get to see her tomorrow at church, so I'm going to wear some cargo pants and a sweater that KW picked out for me. Most of the time I was in the store, I was on the phone with her. Occasionally I would hand the phone to KW, so they could discuss colors that looked good on me. She couldn't be with us today and she knows KW and I are just friends, so she's cool with it. I saved 20% at Old Navy.

Then we went to Starbucks, and I made the mistake of having a grande caffe mocha. I haven't had caffiene in about 4 months. I went all jittery and a then developed a mild headache. The strong coffee also made my stomach feel weird. But it was really good. I went to Target and bought the Grand Theft Auto double pack for Xbox. Then we went to the liquor store because Josh wanted a flask. I bought a cool looking bottle of wine. It's a Pinot Bianco, which I've never tried. Then we watched the lunar eclipse from the parking lot. Then we hit wal-mart and couldn't find sand for the zen rock/candle garden I wanted to do for the table centerpiece. I'll have to get sand later. Then we came home and worked on the dining room. When it was done, everyone left and I played GTA. I think I spent over $500 today. Josh spent about $100 at Pier 1 and Old Navy combined and KW spent about $40 (she mostly helped me spend mine), but it was good fun and I talked to her on the cell phone about half the time, so it was almost like she was there. I miss her, I haven't been able to see her since I told her I love her, but we've talked on the phone for about 2 hours every day. Oh, I'm making her a CD, too, so if anyone has any romantic song suggestions (no country), please let me know. I'll listen to them and see if it goes with us. I have several in mind now, but I'm always open to new music.
