2006-08-26 - 8:42 p.m. Aww, I'm having a good weekend. I'm just happy to have a weekend at home when I really don't have to accomplish much at all. Last night I went for dinner with my good for me/bad for me friend. I should really come up with a good pseudonym for him - especially since the good for me parts outweigh the bad for me parts by quite a bit. I feel like I need to stock up on his company before his fiancee moves to town in the next while. We both showed up looking "pretty" which was . . . interesting and much good food and good conversation was had. It was one of those perfect warm late summer evenings and we sat at a little wobbly table on the sidewalk. Today, I went for coffee with a friend and also indulged in my new hobby - bra shopping. This is not a hobby I've chosen, but one that has been foisted on me by circumstance. But I've become quite good at it. I have more bras now than at any previous time in my life. I also have the distinction of now being a size I have never been in my life. I went down a band size which means I subsequently go up a cup size. I didn't like that much - I have a psychological block when it comes to cup size letters. Then I had a long summer afternoon's nap. And this evening I went through a large box of pictures - mostly from the last 10 years. I'm trying to figure out what to do with my pictures. I need to do something - I'm just not sure what that something is. I want them in albums of some kind, but I'm not sure about the organization I want them in. After looking through old pictures I've come to a conclusion. I think I'm prettier now than when I was 20. I have one picture of me from then that I always think of as one of the best ever taken of me - but today when I looked at it I just thought: I'm prettier now. Which brings me to a question a niece and I were debating. Which would you rather be: an ugly girl who feels beautiful or a beautiful girl who never feels pretty or good enough?
