I just got back from my retail therapy appointment. Yeeeeeaaaaah... So I'm about $140 poorer, but at the same time I am 4 shirts, 1 cardigan, 2 dresses, 2 bracelets, 2 necklaces, and 2 pairs of earrings richer! =D Hoo boy! Its been a long time! I have to be careful though, I have this shopping thing...
I hate that Motherhood place. They always want to know everything about you so every company on earth can bombard your mailbox with junk. There are about 50 metric tons of worthless coupons out there with my name on them now! The only good ones are the diaper coupons. And they gave me a bag full of: Playtex drop-in bottle and bags (might actually use that one) and pamphlet after pamphlet about how to plan your new baby's nursery and fill it with expensive matching furniture!!! Hmmm, should I put the new baby's nursery in the north wing or the south wing? And which floor? Oh wait! I don't live in a big giant house! The baby's going in the living room! And it's gonna like it! And when it gets older, it can say "when I was a baby I slept in the living room, and I LIKED IT!" I got a couple of diaper coupons too, but they're for the little baby ones and not the nighttime pullups Peanut wears.
I'm not sure I'm sticking with disposables. My landlady has these cloth ones with liners or something in them, and the liners are disposable but the diapers can go in the washing machine (but since they have liners, no washing-machine poopy!). I'm going to ask her about that. Might be cheaper.
Greg is in Florida. Now I know some of you on my flist live in Florida. So why? WHY haven't any of you ever mentioned that you can buy good wine at Target???? All you can get at the Target here is 3.2 beer and hard lemonade, and in North Dakota? NO BOOZE AT ALL! Greg was beside himself with excitement. He got a bottle of Gabbiano Chianti at the SuperTarget!
Of course he calls to tell me how nice it is down there and we should move there and blahblah. He always does that. He won't be singing the same tune when spring break hits and the streets are all blocked off by millions of drunk college students. I told him the bright side is, he might see some of them "go wild." :P Florida is not for me. He says its "not that hot" and I know it gets humid down there. But I like it HOT! And DRY! I should move to the desert and get it over with. But you know, I'm from here and its the only place I really know. I like the people. They're like me. Cold, awkward, antisocial... you know! ;) The weather does suck though.
