10/12/09 Shopping/ Meeting with Tim and Lisa

MKate and I went to the mall. I haven't been shopping for ages. We went to Chicos which used to be my standby. But now, . . . I saw a pretty top with gold trim . . . for Bobby's big birthday party. When I touched the fabric is was cheap and rough feeling. Also, the styling was not up to Chicos standards. I didn't try it on. Honestly I could get the same thing and maybe better at the fashion bug for a lot less. I did find one really pretty top, in beautiful, bright colors. Not like my usual black. Also I got a pair of straight leg pants that I can wear with the top that Em gave me for my birthday. But I'll need a piece of jewelry to bring the black pants and the orange tunic together. I want something that isn't expensive ( I won't wear it often). No it's not going to make me look like a pumpkin. The orange is subtle with shades of soft, soft green. Too bad it wasn't black. I'll wear it for Luke's recital tomorrow.

The shoes I like will be hard to find, but that's another story.

I got home in time to rest a little and then have the big meeting. I thought to myself. The shakti has been flowing for me. I think I'll say a prayer and trust. Tim came in with his wife, Lisa . I forgot how much I liked them as a couple. They put in my flooring which I do love. They were so considerate of Jellybean and had some much respect for her feelings as a Chinchilla. I knew that Tim couldn't have done what Ricky said he did.

Dan came over. I felt very bad about wasting his time. He works so hard and has so many hassels with being a business owner. I didn't want to be one more. But I felt that I had to talk frankly to Tim and he wanted to open up with me as well. I won't bore you with details. But in the end, we all agreed that Ricky is amazingly talented in so many areas. He could be rich with his talents, but he's not nice. He lies about people and to people. Why? I feel sorry for Ricky because, you know, he's ruining his own life. People are losing respect for him. Why should I be sorry for him. I don't know. But I do. Anyway, Tim and Lisa and back as friends with Luke and I. Dan saw for himself that Tim was right about the carpet. We're getting new carpet for the meditation room. That will be cool.
