another day... but not a bad one
I cleaned today. My apartment has been needing it, and now that I know for sure my friend is coming in from Philly I had an actual reason to clean it. Sure, it'll get messy again in the 3 weeks before she gets here, but at least I got a headstart on it.
I went to the thrift store today. I went in looking for a magazine rack and a jacket, and that's exactly what I walked out with, $4.60 later. Not bad, huh? I also went to the dollar store. I picked up a couple more plates (two just doesn't cut it when there are 4 people there), a couple of skirt/pants hangers because all of my hangers are overloaded, and a mini shaving cream and lotion that I will bring with me on my trip to France. Got all that for $5.30. Oh, and I spent about $20 in Longs this morning. But again, I walked out with a bag full of stuff that we have been needing, and with my wonderful employee discount I saved a good $10, so it's all good. So, $10 later and I have a bunch of new stuff. I love being frugal. Still, there are some things that I just can't find in thrift stores when I want them, so I just get them new (t-shirts, for example).
Anyhoo, yes, I finally know that Lilia will be coming here and that she's coming with Tom. I'm going to request off on the day after she gets here and the day she leaves. That way I can show her around, not to mention get some sleep. Can't wait to see her. Last time I got to see her was in February for her nephew's birthday, and I really have no idea when I'll be able to see her again. Also, she wants me to meet her new boyfriend. I'm not sure if that's because she feels so strongly for him so much as it is she wants my personal opinion on him, although I have a feeling it's more for the latter reason. :P Hope Janna's not too busy when Lil gets here, 'cause I'd like for them to meet.
So, I'm really bored and can't find much to do here at work. Days like this are cool because I can catch up with personal things online (bad Ann!), but I think I'd always much rather be busy than bored at work. I should go try and find something to do before I just start looking for things to eat. That would not be a good thing. I have enough self-esteem crap going on to put that on myself, too.
Okay. Enough of me for now. Bye!
