Blurbs
A few blurbs from today:
~We may have a solution for my uncovered absences from work in the mornings for this next semester. Long term or not? Unknown.
~I paid $33.10 to fill my car up this afternoon. Did you catch that?? $33.10!! I remember a time when I could fill it up with $10-$12. I’ve only owned the car for 6.75 years. Gas prices just shouldn’t triple in seven short years. I just can’t stand it! The number of miles I drive will at least triple when I start school. And my hours will be cut in half. I don’t think the math works out in that equation.
~I took off work two hours early to get to the bookstore on campus before it closed. I picked Jolene up at home and Kris met us at the bookstore. I spent $245.55 on books, and that doesn’t take into account the German textbook and dictionary that I’m getting from Kris at half of what she paid. It’s like a shock of ice cold water every time! I know there are others that have it worse than that, and I’m sure that it’s not the most I’ll ever spend in a semester. The name of the bookstore should be The Great Rip-Off.
~We went to O’Charley’s to eat. Kris had finished her salad and, after picking through and pulling out all the goodies (cheese and chicken), pushed the dregs to the edge of the table for the waiter to pick up the next time he came by. As we were sitting there talking, Jolene spotted one remaining goody in the salad and stabbed it with her fork gleefully. She put it in her mouth and bit down. She immediately started spitting what she had thought was chicken but turned out to be a fresh mushroom into her hand. She grabbed her cloth napkin and started scrubbing at her tongue. It made for a delightful little scene.
~Shopping for shoes when you need them is no fun. It’s way more fun to buy shoes when you don’t need them.
~Kris and I had a “twin” moment today. We were outside waiting to be seated at the restaurant. We were both fiddling with our keys and at the exact same moment dropped them to the pavement. Jolene, sitting across from us, looked at us oddly as we sat there laughing and said, “Well, why’d you do that?” The unexplainable.
~I love stores that have a no-questions-asked return policy. “Buyer’s remorse” and “The charisma just wasn’t there” don’t really sound good when returning stuff. Kudos to JC Penny and Bath & Body Works.
