New day.

My car Donatella is getting new tires today. It’s expensive but necessary, I guess. There was a brief hailstorm outside a few minutes ago. I hope she was in the car-place garage at that point (though I really don’t think it was a damaging hail).

On the wedding band front: we’ve decided to go with the online retailer. Why? Well, the price is seriously half of what a jewelry store would cost. I figure since we’re going very plain and simple, we might as well save the money. The difference isn’t quite the price of new tires, but it gets me a good chunk of the way. I’ve heard other people give favorable reports about their experiences with e-weddingbands.com, they have the best prices I’ve seen, and they do engraving for only a very modest extra charge.

I believe we’re going to get the one on the left for AC (yours truly), a 4mm band in white gold, and the one on the right for DC, a 6 mm band, also in white gold:

On the new shoe front, I found an excellent deal on shoes for my friend Sarah’s wedding, in which I’m a bridesmaid. The shoes are a Target knockoff of these:

I’m going in for a dress fitting this evening, and the seamstress lady needed me to have my shoes so she could get the hem right.

I feel like I should post a picture of my tires, too, but I don’t know exactly what they look like yet. If I had to guess, I’d say black and rubbery.
