The Weather Outside is Frightful
Last night, mi chavo and I went to Crobar's Anniversary Party. We were lured by its "invitation only" status, and the free drinks from 9-11. Of course, first we had to get ready. For me, that started during the afternoon. I went to Marshall Field's to pay my credit card bill and pick up a few "necessities" at the Lancome counter. Upon arrival, I was offered eyebrow shaping for $20. I've always wanted to do it, so I agreed. Little did I know it would take 30 minutes(!) Oops.
Later, I went to Milo's for a haircut, on the recommendation of my roommate. The stylist was extremely nice, knew exactly what I needed and even gave me a discount for being referred to her(!) Ironically, that made my eyebrow shaping cost the same as my haircut. Adding on the cost of Product for my hair, and I had just enough cash to pay for the event. (It always seems like an event when I get my hair cut because it drastically changes my appearance.)
I came home, got ready, changed because mi chavo didn't approve of my first outfit choice, ate some tasty pasta (I heart Trader Joe's tomato sauce), and went off into the wild, white yonder with mi chavo. Thank goodness we didn't last that long at Crobar - we got into the coat check line at 10 to midnight, were out the door at midnight, and fifteen minutes later had our car from the valet. It was a truly frightful drive home. I hope I never have to get into a cab in a snowstorm b/c they were swerving all over the place. Thankfully, mi chavo grew up here and was able to get us home in one piece.
It's still snowing. There's now only a small bit of my car visible. (It's parked outside my building - about a foot of snow on top of it and the snow on the ground reaches half way up my tires.) Right. Well, I should get back to that packing thing....I just hope it stops snowing before tomorrow when we're scheduled to move most of my stuff out of here...
