My good day --  Actually, it began yesterday when my iMac froze.  Why would this be good?  Two reasons:  1.  With the move and all that, I could actually FIND the boot discs that came with the machine.  So, I put them in, and the machine was still frozen.  2.  In the found bunch of material I located the Mac help number, dialed it, got a person immediately who worked with me to unfreeze the machine -- and didn't charge anything.  So, all this took maybe an hour.  Yea Apple!

Then today Emmie and I went shopping at Tysons -- I'm going to the Indonesian Embassy tomorrow with a group from AI to bring up the two prisoners of conscience we're focusing on...and I need to wear something other than my yoga clothes.  And, I've lost enough weight that I don't have any of my former work clothes that look good -- actually, Goodwill has most of them.  So, I wanted something professional, but also something that looked liked me, and that I'd actually wear again.  A suit with pumps would be good, but I'd never wear it again (except maybe to a funeral).  So, I didn't want that.  I also wanted something that didn't need dry cleaning -- I just can't see paying that much every time you need to clean an outfit.  And I actually found a great outfit that I like and will wear again -- at J Jill -- comfy top, pants, sweater and I also got a necklace that pulls it all together.  In pic above, I got the gold top, beige sweater, and white pants.  Wish it would have been cheaper...but I do really like it and it looks all coordinated, but not too old-lady.
