After work I met up with one of my best friends that I haven't seen in a while. I took her out for sushi and beer. I got the mexican maki and it was absolutely to die for. It's probably one of my favorite items on the menu. It wasn't until about a year ago that this friend had taken me out for sushi for the first time. Ever since then I can't seem to get enough!
Come to think of it my friend has introduced me to many things over the years. She made me want to learn how to play a guitar when she showed me how to play a few chords. She was the one who got me to try my first loose tea and sushi for the first time. I even remember the first time we met. We were both fourteen and we snuck in liquor filled chocolates into the movie theatre in hopes of getting a slight buzz.
She is very important in my life. This is why, when she asked me today, I was honored to be a bridesmaid in her wedding. I'm really looking forward to it. Not only because I love weddings but also because she is going to have hers in Mexico. One week of drinking and relaxing with close friends. Plus I get along well with everyone else that is in the wedding party which means it'll have to be a good time.
Afterwards we went to one of my favorite stores, Nightshade Corsets (Nightshade Corsets). Rows and rows of corsets and other amazing items! Whenever I come to this store it is guaranteed that I'm going to buy something even though I own so many corsets already.
Today was no different. I saw a mannequin wearing a gorgeous white and black corset with a matching skirt and I had to try it on. When I asked if they had any additional colors it turns out I already owned a corset in a similar shade of green. So to see how it would look together I found the corset I already own and tried it on with this amazing skirt. I couldn't resist purchasing it especially since I already owned the corsest.
Now I own this whole outfit minus the shrug. I haven't yet decided how I feel about the shrug with this outfit. I think I may want to find something a little more fitted. But I do love the detail of it along with the flowers around the neck. It also matches the frills of the skirt quite well. Now all I have to do is figure out a place where I can wear this outfit without having men gawking because I'd be wearing a corset.
I went out to a bar for my friend's birthday a few years back and decided to wear one of my corsets with a pair of jeans. I was sitting on a bar stool with my back facing the crowd when a larger older man walks up and runs his fingers down the lacing of my corset. My friends told me that he had a creepy look on his face as he was doing it. Ever since that night I've been worried to wear them out for fear of unwanted touching. But no time like the present to get back on the horse. And this time I'll make sure I sit with my back facing a wall.
This morning I was looking through my teas at work and I realized that I have so many teas at home that I don't drink often enough because they have caffeine in it. I try to avoid caffeine later in the day in case it affects my ability to fall asleep. This is when I came up with the idea to inventory all my teas. I started compiling a spreadsheet depicting the type of tea, if it's caffeine free, if I enjoy it, and if I'd buy it again once it's completed. This way I will know exactly which teas I have and which ones I like.
So once I got home I pulled out all my tea, lit some candles, and completed the spreadsheet. Unfortunately there are so many teas that I don't even remember what they taste like because it's been so long since I've had them. Now I am going to have to go through all the ones that I don't remember (and there are many) to fill in the rest of the spreadsheet. In the long run it will help me keep organized with which ones I like and want more of and which ones not to bother with.
I think Dash got a little bored of my shenanigans and decided to show how upset he was by the lack of attention by laying on his face. I have never seen him lay like this before and it was so cute. Definitely got my attention! Currently he's happy that I'm done so we can cuddle and watch a movie together.
I've made myself some tea. One that was on the list of teas I can't remember how they taste. Tonight I picked Bear Trap as my tea of choice. It's a herbal tea with black currants, blackberries, strawberries, and raspberries. The tea is actually pretty good but I think I'm enjoying it better chilled than hot. One tea down yet so many more to go!
