Just some notes.

So, good news! Darren is starting his new job tomorrow. This does mean I have to relinquish use of the car and resume taking the bus to work. Sad trombones. Especially on those 12-hour days. But he’s making more money than before, and that plus my two jobs means we’ll be able to make excellent progress with our financial goals. Adulthood win!

Unrelated: Prospero’s production of “8” is taking place on Sunday. Please come see it if you’re able. We have a very talented cast and everyone involved is just so dedicated to this entire issue. It’s pretty amazing. Oh, and the event is totally free.

Now, some frivolity.

Since I started the ol’ second job I’ve been trying not to spend too much time shopping.  That said, I’ve made a handful of purchases and have my eye on many more.

I picked up some pants, a set of makeup bags which have already been quite useful, gloves, and boots that I’ve been wearing regularly. Obviously these are all NEEDS, right?

Meanwhile, here are some things I’ve got my eye on. Yeah, those are the same boots in different colors. I have a problem. And that glorious Fossil bag is going to have to wait a long time before I can take it home. The boots too, really. Everything else? Well, we’ll see.

of Instagram and bullet points

• A lot of people in the last week have been finding this blog with search terms related to “ugly couch.” What? We used to have an ugly couch, but I think it’s been like a year.

• Kate and I took a random adventure to Wisconsin a few weeks ago. It mostly involved bars.

• I have twice attempted to get a tattoo. I was thwarted both times. Next time I’m making an appointment like a normal person.

• Everyone’s cats are dying. First Jack, then our Buck, then Grendel, and now Bella. It’s breaking my heart. Stop the madness!

• It was our second wedding anniversary on Tuesday. We celebrated by spending a lot of money. Also, eating amazing sushi. And Darren bought a shitload of tea.

• Kate and I went to a St. Paul Saints game tonight. They lost, but it was amazing.

Tomorrow is Irish Fair. Yay!

Notes from my lunch break

Sorry in advance for being a big ol’ whiner…

To the ladies shopping at Target,

Is it really necessary to stand at the door of the fridge, grasping the handle ans you contemplate the yogurt selection? I just want the dip that happens to be shelved just below that yogurt. Please move.

To the Subway Sandwich Dude,

Since when does “Club” sound like “Plain Turkey”? Glad I caught that. Also, stop making assumptions about what I want on my sandwich.

Finally, apparently the Club is no longer a $5 footlong. Disappoint. If I had known I was going to spend almost $8 on my lunch, I would have gone to Chipotle. But the sandwich was delicious, so no legit complaints in the end.
