but I got up early-ish (before 10!) and trekked over to the Air Conditioned Coffee shop for an Iced Coffee while I did some reading on the common core state standards movement.
In other news, I ate way too much today, and I blame my uterus. Dinner was a lean cuisine french bread pizza, which was tasty though not filling. Ended up making a small bowl of pasta salad afterwards, and then I indulged my sweet tooth with some fro-yo from Tutti-Frutti. Now I am full, and I fear I will be full until next wednesday. You'd think I'd learn that stuffing myself around dinner time is not a great idea. Usually the heat wipes out my appetite, but today was clearly an outlier. Again, I blame the woman parts for making me extra hungry.
I finally bought a personal for my bedroom-I should have done this when I moved here in the summer. Besides circulating the ac in my room, it helps to drown out the noise of the drunk undergrads who walk back from the bars at two in the morning.
Aric's job has sparked the realization that we can start looking for a place to live-and not just any place, but a real place to call home. This will be the first time in my adult life that I am able to be choosy about where we will live-we finally have the income to live in relative comfort. In college, I took whatever was cheap and even lived with random people from time to time. No more of that! If I could be utterly picky, I want to have a two bedroom place with a small patio or balcony (for a grill or container gardens) a linen or coat closet, and an actual nook off the kitchen for a dining table. I also really want a fitness room, if only to keep me honest with my workouts. And if I'm being really picky, a fireplace would be great :) At first I thought two bedrooms sounded extravagant, but knowing how focused and irritable I can get when I'm writing term papers, I think having my own little work area is going to be a saving grace for our relationship.
