Mandatory Retail Therapy

[judecorp]

Sometimes no matter what, you just have to spend a little bit of money. We went to Marshall's so I could find something to wear to the wedding this weekend. Since we're going to be in pictures, we have to kind of look decent, right? I tried on some /dresses/ (HA HA HA) but ended up buying a shirt that I will wear with some slacks or something. Or maybe I just like to say slacks. Slacks slacks slacks. Jen wanted to go to the mall to look for a shirt, too, so we ended up heading down there. She liked this one shirt but ended up getting a shirt and jacket on clearance for less than the original shirt. Yay! We then bought a set of king size sheets since we will be getting our king size space bed soon and had no sheets.

Of course, then we went to Linens 'n Things because I thought my brother and Gretchen were registered there, but I was mistaken. So we ended up buying 2 king size pillows and a bed-in-a-bag. Now all we need is the freaking BED and we can build the platform. Wheeeeee.

No, we shouldn't be spending the money right now but we needed to put /something/ on our bodies and on the bed. Right? RIGHT??!?!

I have gone from having a lot of time to being all booked up. I have an interview/test with one temp agency tomorrow and another interview/test on Thursday. Thursday I also have a little phone interview type thing with rebasayre's friend. Thursday night we're sleeping at my grandparents' house so we can leave from there to go to the airport. (It shall be interesting to see how that goes. Jen and I have never slept at my grandparents'.) We'll be in Missouri all weekend. Monday morning I have a second interview with the early intervention program in Dorchester. Tuesday I have a first interview with an agency in Malden (for a job I don't want but will take). And Jen had a pretty promising interview today and has a second interview with them tomorrow!

So it looks like we should be employed soon. YAY! *crosses fingers*

Good vibes!

Crossing my fingers as well! Love you guys. Sorry I didn't make it to the housewarming. Long story there but I -did- appreciate the invite.

I heard it was hair-related. We sure did miss you, but we will find a way to see you soon. Perhaps while we're still unemployed we'll stop by to visit you and Ms. Widget.

You did need those things. Post a picture when you get them! :-)

Still sending you lots of good job vibes!

We /do/ need those things, badly! We wouldn't have rushed to buy a new bed while we're unemployed, but we're having many house guests in about a week and a half (two adults and two children) and needed to move our bed into the guest room. :)

Thanks for the vibes!

Must... control... urge... to make... wise-assed... comment... like... Clinton... from... What Not To Wear!

That's adorable, and you should wear dresses more often. Just not that one.

Unless you're bringing me beer and sausages. :)

Dude, this is my favorite dress ever! I got it at a second hand shop in NYC.

And I will resist the urge to make any snide comments about sausage.

fabulous!

Well at least you had a productive shopping moment. I hate it when I go and I need stuff and have a little money to spend and can't find what I want. Makes me sad.

Yeah well, we drove all over creation to get it all accomplished, so it evens out in the end. :)
