This weekend my plans sort of fell apart and while I was sad to not be able to get together with a friend who I haven't seen in ages I'm basking in a glorious two days with no obligations. Laundry is getting done, J is busy going through his pantry and ditching lots of stuff. If you make waffles once every 8 years, do you need a waffle maker? Personally, when I NEED a waffle, IHOP is happy to make me one.
We bought a new coffee pot - the kind with the pods. I'm torn about this little machine. The first issue that was resolved prior to the acquisition, this little wonder has a filter so we can have coffee without having to buy the pods. Thankfully the pods are recyclable but I'm still struggling with the plastic. My second issue was the fact that it only makes one cup at a time. However, I'm finding that I like a weaker blend of coffee than J, so I can have my "weak ass cup of coffee" and 2 minutes later he can have his "stomach lining killer blend" and we're both happy. The other thing I like is that we make 2 cups, not 8 and the machine is off (rather than warming coffee we're not going to drink) thus it seems more energy efficient.
J's interpretation of this paragraph is that I was "kind of a bitch about the coffee pot, and now I've warmed up to it." Then he added "kidding!!! (I mention this because it is actually true...he said it, and it was accurate.)
I just finished the 2008 holiday card. I figured since I didn't send one out last year, and 2008 was such a huge evolution that it needed to happen. It's a lot of "me" pictures, but I suppose it won't look too vain. (hope)
I did get some indication of where I'll fall out in the work situation. There's a job that the new overlords are looking at me as the possible candidate. It's a great opportunity, not much of a stretch from my current responsibilities, but of course 100% different. The challenge... LOCATION. It's in Delaware or in New York. Rather than force me to decide right this second the manager is putting me in a grouping that will give us time to work together to decide what is the best thing for everybody.
Moving...well its a crazy idea, but there is some up side, especially if it was only for a few years. Living on the east coast would be a new and different experience. If we were in Delaware we could rent and then keep our home out here so we would be sure to come back. Nothing is decided - I don't have ANY details on the offer or when I have make up my mind. (Er... we have to decide, this is a group decision between J and me.)
Next on the agenda is errands, I bought a suit and it needs to be shortened (HOBBIT), I need a 3 hole punch to help keep my wedding binder in order (OCD?) and I may need to have my toes professionally painted. I can get down there now and do it, but it's only $15 for a very professional job and...they massage my feet. GOODNESS!
I should run and help J. It is wrong to ask him to throw stuff away and then not help.
