I have such great friends at work. VT, DP and ML have all informed me that since it's my birthday Monday, they're kidnapping me on Saturday to go shopping at the outlets in Cabezon (out towards Palm Springs). They are all of the opinion I need more girl clothes, especially stuff that John won't wear and get all stretched out (we both wear a lot of T-shirts and polo shirts); they're quite right, I do need some nice clothes now that I'm on this management team, and it would be nice to have something new for the talk I have to give in a couple of weeks. The last new outfit I got was the last time I gave a presentation on the shark tagging program for an American Fisheries Society conference in Ventura, and Gareth was still a baby then. The last time I pulled out my khaki pants (the only non-jeans I own) I found they had gotten permanent stains on them, so I can't wear them to work any more. I probably tend to look more threadbare at work than I should.

And everyone wants to get started Christmas shopping. Between all the car repairs and still owing for John's dental bills and a lot of other crap, I'm not going to be able to get much, but it'll be a fun trip anyway. I haven't gotten the chance to even do much window shopping lately, so that'll be nice.
