I have been on a no-shoe, no-nail polish, and no-DVD buy effort since the beginning of the year. I have only slipped once on the polish (but I really do love the Lubu Heels).
But I didn't include no-concert tickets. I got a presale notice for my FAVORITE band coming to the area, during the summer, when both kids can go with me, and BOOM, I spent $70/person (yes, I like getting good "seats"). My bank account hates me, but I'm so excited. Not sure if I'm going to tell the kids now or closer to June 14th.
Bounce, bounce, bounce
I'm probably 85% Irish, and I just didn't care. Not going out of the house today anyway, most likely.
What band, Suzi?
I should try to figure out what the cubic feet of my current one is, because I know it is smaller than "normal" and it is just fine for us.
For a boy your size, maybe. But that won't always be the case. The fridge that sticks out from the counters has more room.
Aww, that's our old hospital. I can just picture the pooch walking in there.
To add to the earlier teachers don't get UI discussion, I don't know if it's the same for private and public, but I know that I wouldn't get them because we always work on a year to year contract. They just have to keep us around to the end of the contract. We aren't technically laid off; our contract just isn't renewed. We don't have a health care option apart from COBRA (which is prohibitively expensive) that I know of.
I resist the green on St Patrick's Day
I got threatened with being pinched today for not wearing green (I own none because it makes me look sickly), and I was all like, "Boundaries! DO NOT enact physical harm on me! Uncool!"
That's what I said, but what I was thinking was, "Seriously? In the OFFICE? Are you SEVEN?!?"
Aren't Canadian dollars still less than US dollars?
Right now, it's $.98 to your $1.00. But generally around $.90. It's shouldn't that divergent in price.
Burrell, my sister in nail polish! I'm also wearing Jade is the New Black ... I like the color but it was a pain to put on.
And truly - the thought of there being a Tino AND a Tina does bring up the horrifying thought that they might breed.
Oh Amy, I did leave that out. Iron Maiden. Yes, old school heavy metal. Both kids are into the music too, so this isn't just mom dragging the kids along. K-Bug has seen them a few times, even hooked her now-fiancee on them. CJ hasn't seen them play live, but keeps asking when they are playing in the U.S. and will they come to Colorado. The venue is less than 10 miles from our place. Woot!!!
I resist the green on St Patrick's Day anyway since I am 100% Irish and don't see any need to come over all temporary Irish on one day a year.
I'm wearing a green sweater today because I worried that I'd actually punch somebody if they pinched me.
