Out in the great wide open
Today I got a whole mess of stuff (read: one shirt, one skirt, one pair of stretchy capri things) on sale at Lane Bryant, which means I got to carry a big ol' Lane Bryant bag full of stuff around the mall and feel all snooty and nobody had to know that it contained exactly $15 worth of merchandise thanks to coupons and discounts. I think that might be the American Dream right there folks, getting to act all snooty for cheap.
Also we have discovered a delightful Greek restaurant along eat street, Cristos or something. It was delicious. I had mousaka and tomato basil soup and hummus and this amazingly good mashed cauliflower with garlic stuff. Did I mention it was delicious? Plus there were a lot of pictures of places in Greece along the wall and I got to point out all the ones I recognized ("Oh, yes, quite, I was there, hmm, yes.") to Mara and feel snooty. THAT'S TWO SNOOTIES IN ONE DAY. I win.
Then we went grocery shopping, which was pretty unexciting. I don't really like grocery shopping. I prefer more immediate results, like restaurant shopping or putting-on-shoes shopping. Also, in an unrelated event, I boiled eggs for lunch today for the first time in my life, and it worked. I felt smug. Kind of a stupid smug, because honestly, boiled eggs? But I didn't burn anything down so there you have it, smug. And then I made egg salad. It was horrible somehow. I dunno, maybe it was the miracle whip, but whatever it was I disliked it a lot but I ate it anyway because I BOILED EGGS DAMMIT. Then I forgot the rest on the counter all day and had to throw it out when we got home. My life is so hard.
Time to get my laundry out of the machine so nobody horks my undies. I liked laundry better when it was free. And I use "like" very loosely here.
