not bad for a saturday...

you know what's nice?

when you spend all day feeling like you can't bear to study for the bar exam, so you decide that doing some sewing while listening to evidence CDs will suffice. and you end up making a not-too-shabby skirt on your sewing machine that was a pretty good salvage from your earlier mistake of cutting the fabric you intended to use for a wrap-around skirt too short. and you wear your new skirt, which is kinda cheerleader-esque, in the sense that it's navy blue panels with yellow pleated sections, to go have a drink with one of your friends and no sooner do you walk into the bar but a woman says to you, "hey, i really like your skirt!" and when you remark that you made it yourself, she tells you that you should sell them.

and then you proceed to have a really nice time with one of your fellow single girlfriends, including several giggles because at a table next to you is a guy you went out with once and only once like a year and a half ago (and to whom you said you'd call but you never did) and you know he recognizes you because you AND your friend note that he's talking really loudly, the way people talk when they want others to hear what they're saying.

so, yeah. lately i've needed an ego boost. tonight did just fine.
