Cheese and Whine

All I want to do today is complain.

It started with an email from Old Navy, which is having a big sale on coats. I desperately need a good warm winter coat. But the Old Navy store we had went out of business and left our mall meaning that in order to get cheap, decent clothing I have to drive for an hour. Complaint number one.

It's a cold, dreary day, and I'm dreaming of Panera. And there's nothing around here that is remotely close to being like Panera except for the local coffee shop, which sells paninis, wraps, some sandwiches, and a soup of the day. The soup is pretty much never a vegetarian option, and even if it were it's nothing like the black bean soup at Panera. Complaint number two.

Aaaand number three: my wonderful fiance needs a coat too and wants to go with me to Old Navy to look for one. He works today, meaning we're waiting till tomorrow. Otherwise I would go today. ***nothing against you, Clyde darling, I love you!***

And everywhere nearby with an Old Navy also has a Panera. Guess I'm getting my fix tomorrow instead of today.

OR. I find the recipe and go to the grocery store to buy the stuff to make my own black bean soup. This is, honestly, the most likely outcome.

On a different note, yesterday I spent the ENTIRE morning before work, from 9am till 3pm, sorting out my clothes for storage/Goodwill, cleaning and rearranging my bedroom, dragging a five shelf bookcase in from the garage and up three flights of stairs (followed by six boxes of books), organized the bookcase, washed my curtains, made some pizza, read a bit of a book, and then started my job at 3pm as usual.


I am very proud of myself and love love love how my room turned out. It's also very exciting to have half of my books back after they spent a year in the garage as yesterday was the anniversary of Emily's move home from CT.



Both pictures were taken with my phone. I was too busy for it to occur to me to take pictures as I went. These ones were only taken so my friend could see how things were going!

*sigh* Off to the supermarket...
