the end.

This weekend, I didn't have a single thing planned, which as some of my friends know is more of a rarity than a regularity. From Friday at 1pm through Sunday, my time was completely open. I'm mostly catching up with my reading, as I have magazines I haven't read since February/March, and organizing my apartment (an ongoing task it seems). Both ( Read more... )

Father, it's been almost four months since my last post. Just kidding, this isn't confession. At any rate, I still have toilet paper from that March 1 purchase...I'd say I have about 3-4 weeks supply left ( Read more... )

Today, I stocked up on toilet paper. It seemed like a good deal at the time--47 cents per double roll when I bought them at Sam's Club. However, having 36 rolls of toilet paper (equivalent of 72 rolls) was less exciting once I had to figure out where to store them. I've hidden them like a squirrel buries nuts in a yard. Now, I'll be finding rolls ( Read more... )

What a day-and to think it’s only Tuesday. Woke up and checked my work voicemail for any delays to the office opening due to the previous night’s snowfall. Nope, snow wasn’t that bad ( Read more... )

Seriously, I'm convinced there are some things that seem to only happen to me. I went to the Plaza today for a meeting (an office building that's a 5 minute shuttle ride away from my office).

I love the smell of new books. If I could buy "Barnes & Noble Bookstores" as an air freshening scent for my apartment, I would. Wouldn't you?

My refrigerator (and other appliances) are the Hotpoint brand. I'd never heard of that brand before, not that I've ever owned appliances. But for all I know it's obsolete. Anyhow, the real story and reason for this post is that I really should have gone grocery shopping on Monday. My kitchen and fridge are pretty empty, but it's required some ( Read more... )

I'm so cheap, I wouldn't even buy my own lunch bag. I've been using Target bags since June for my "bag lunches" at work, and now I finally have a proper one. I entered a Jif Peanut Butter & Smuckers essay contest to try to win some free trip but the perk was a free lunch bag.

Here's my essay (in 150 words or less):
