Successful Target trip

Monday, April 14th, 2008

I went to Target for a successful evening of consumerism.  We bought new high-end air conditioner filters now that we’re using the a/c — it hit 96 degrees today! — and allergies are acting up, too.  I also bought two new tops for work, including a short-sleeve white argyle sweater that says, “I am a librarian.  Ask me about the Dewey Decimal System.  I like to wear argyle.  Now where did I put my pencil?  Ah there it is, behind my ear.”  I’ll probably wear that one tomorrow with a knee-length black skirt and my newer black slingbacks.  I sure do like office attire.

Ethiopian food for dinner

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008

I went on a dinner date tonight at Cafe Lalibela, an Ethiopian place near the university.  We tried to go on Monday night only to find that they are closed on Mondays.  This should not have come as a surprise to us — it was the fourth time over the years that we unsuccessfully attempted to go on a Monday.

When the check came we both reached for our wallets but he got his card out first.  I graciously let him pay.  I bought all the groceries last week, though, so we’re even.
