so the ipod was shipped from shanghai today-- dontcha hate waiting for online orders? it's agony. at least i don't have to try on the ipod, unlike the bikini bottoms from jcrew.com that didn't fit... that's what i get from ordering a bathing suit online, i suppose (though i'm pretty sure it has more to do with the recent size inflation stores have been doing for about a year-- it's all vanity sizing now. someone may think, holy crap, this is a size 6 and i'm usually a size 22-- i'm gonna buy it!)
there is so much to do before i go, most of which costs money: new comfy walking shoes, new glasses, new ipod, etc. it's still not even dawning on me that i'm really going-- so far it's like i've been on a big, guilt-free shopping spree.
