stuff

outside my window at work, i look directly at the parking lot that sits across the street from the playland entrance. the same people rent that parking lot space to sell christmas trees. this year they setup the lights and signs but without the trees on december 1st. the trees arrived on december 4th (monday).

today, all the trees were blown down. the lights are still up though.

i was just thinking that i have the most crazy imagination.

my work had it's staff christmas party last thursday and i decided i would wear my silvery long skirt with a top. i didn't really like how i looked after putting on the black top and black boots along with square silver earrings. but it was too late.

and just now i'm remembering how i ended up with this silvery skirt. in february 2000, i had this amazing opportunity to work with some gifted graphic designers on a website for cbc radio 3. i had these amazing visions of myself attending some swank cbc soiree to celebrate the launch of the website. i even thought we would all be flown to toronto to attend this event.

i so believed that this was going to happen even though nobody said anything about a launch, that i decided i needed to buy a great outfit. at the time, my favourite clothing store was kookai in oakridge which was situated right infront of the kids play area.

this long silver skirt with an asymetrical pleat on the side took my breath away. i loved it immediately. so i bought it.

but i didn't stay with the project long enough to see the launch. the first time i wore it was last year, i think, at one of my home parties. last week was the second time i wore it.

i wonder about my grasp on reality sometimes.
