The State of the Selection Hand Mirrors

Since the bathroom mirror fell from the wall and shattered yesterday, I just walked to Walgreens to get a hand mirror.

The only one available is a sort of bright lavender. I'm annoyed at the implication that, as a women's product (since apparently no man will ever use a hand mirror) that it must be some kind of pink (because apparently women must have pink things exclusively). But so it goes.

More annoying is the fact that there is a giant sticker covering the bottom third of the mirror, touting the maker's name and the fact that this is a hand held mirror, in case I couldn't figure that out. I think the only way to get the sticker off and clean the glass is with a razor scraper and/or lighter fluid. Who thinks these things through? Nobody, I suppose. I'd buy a different one, if I had the option.

I had such a nice evening over at serinthia and her partner's place, watching Strawberry Panic and talking over dinner. Thanks for having me over!

On the way home, I stopped at Goodwill and found some new with tags Target brand chinos for $5. I wear jeans almost all the time, but I want more wardrobe options, especially if I have to look a little bit nicer for something. Since I paid $25 for a pair of the same pants to present at the AAA conference in, I snapped these up. They're bright blue; that's kind of fun.

Tomorrow I get to see Lisa, who seems to be recovering well from surgery. She and I are having fondue with Danae, and probably seeing a matinee of Frozen on Saturday. Saturday evening I'll be going to a birthday party with Danae, and on Sunday Danae and I are going to a board game party.

I'm so glad things seem to be going well for everyone. This will be a nice weekend to close my winter vacation with before school starts up again on Monday.
