I got a pretty skirt today. (I went for the black one. Liked the white a whole lot, but ultimately decided that black would be easier to find a top for, and lo and behold, the black blouse I bought yesterday goes very nicely with it.)
I'm in the process of getting together a week or so's worth of clothes I can wear to my job. The dress code is essentially no jeans/no t-shirts/don't be sloppy, except on Fridays, when jeans are allowed, so I have a lot of leeway, but...yeah, most of my clothing consists of, well, jeans and t-shirts. (And all my existing business-casual stuff is heavy and long-sleeved, because I got it for my internship at the Parthenon last January.) There's been some controversy over whether capri-style pants are allowed, so I'm going the skirt route until further notice. It is
warm in that building, and in the print room, it can get up to 80F in the afternoons, so I'm trying to get clothing that's as lightweight as possible.

Nearly 3,000 words so far on my Fraser and Thatcher go to the Yukon fic. I'm trying to do 300-400 words a day, minimum, again after falling off the bandwagon early this winter. Fell off the bandwagon on a lot of things this winter, actually; for a number of reasons, it was something of a winter of discontent. (Almost no writing, no interest in photography, lots of rejections from jobs I applied for...I got into a watching-lots-of-TV-and-sleeping rut. You might have noticed from the content of my LJ entries.) Spring has been good to me. I took pictures yesterday, for the first time since December. I'll upload them soon, so those of you still covered by snow can have a few flowers and budding trees to look at. *g*
I also have a new stuffed panda, which my mom got for free when she ordered something from
this art store. They also gave her a really nice Chinese calligraphy set, again for free. It's really pretty, and has lots of little pieces to it. Neither of us really know what to do with it, but it's...nice to look at?
