My Saturday To-Do List:

• go grocery shopping - two weeks' worth of groceries, the toys necessary to experiment with hair-taping this week, and flirted with the very cute cashier boy at TJ's.
• do laundry - two loads in the dryer, will be done in a few minutes
• clean room - desk is tidied, trash is not taken out, in hopes that roommate will do it instead

In a fit of "OMG I must do something besides sit around being a lazy bum!", I went to Wal-Mart thi afternoon to pick up some minor, non-essential things I needed that I couldn't get at Trader Joe's (including scrunchies, a tape measure, nail clippers, and blue duct tape). Well, that was a mistake. Normally when I go to Wal-Mart it's just to get one ( Read more... )

Just back from grocery shopping. It was...much more of an adventure that I had anticipated. The shopping part was not so much a problem - I went to Daiso and poked around, but sadly I got distracted by all the shiny and never found the chopsticks I was looking for. Oh well. Spent less money at TJ's than last time, but still got miso soup and ( Read more... )

Argh, I am useless. I was going to go shopping after I got off work today, since I'm almost out of groceries. I don't know why this is so shocking to me - I went five months with no groceries at all! - but suddenly the idea of not being able to nom funky cheese and apples and Japanese ice cream is just appalling. Appalling, I tell you! But I was up ( Read more... )

I didn't feel like going to the dining hall tonight, so for dinner I had some havarti cheese, whole-grain crackers, and red-wine salami, along with Hensen's mandarin lime soda ( Read more... )

I am beginning to believe that the piped-in music they have at Trader Joe's is secretly transmitting subliminal mind control messages intended to make you spend obscene amounts of money. It is so hard to resist! Take today - I went shopping this after with the goal of buying bobby pins (so I can stop roommate's), purple hair dye (doing that again ( Read more... )

Today I was productive shopping person!

I totally did not know that there was a Trader Joe's right next to the Wal-Mart that the bus goes to. This is a very good thing to know! I plan to take serious advantage of it in the future. Alas, today, I was not general-shopping, but had a short and specific list in mind, so I could not do that. But I did ( Read more... )

Okay, first the happy part of the post: I have a job! At the movie theater! Working concessions, and possibly the ticket box at some point in the future. Orientation is tomorrow, and I'm, like, embarrassingly excited about what I'm reasonably sure is going to turn out to be a kind of unpleasant job for not much money. But hey! Job! Income!
