kimana517+ Happy birthday to Isaac! He is now only 12 years away from 40. Hehe. And he is the best husband ever!
+ I feel like I live at Home Depot and Walmart. I've been to each of them at least 4 times this week.
+ I'm trying to laugh at the fact that the first night this week that I finally got enough sleep preceded the one day I really could've used an extra few hours of awake time.
+ Ghirardelli chocolate chips being the same price as Walmart brand makes me very happy.
+ Apparently I've been lusting after cashmere sweaters all these years, when I could've just bought them; there are tons of them for great prices on Ebay! Oh, this is a bad, bad discovery for my budget.
+ 30% cash back on Ebay Buy It Now purchases is love.
+ Can any of you convince me that the quality of photos taken by a DSLR is worth it despite its heft when compared to a good digicam that has all manual options but an attached lens? I love the quality of DSLRs, but I also like having a camera that fits in my purse and doesn't weigh 3 lbs because of the lenses. So, yeah - convince me.
+ Hanging pictures is a lot easier than I thought it was. Therefore, I hate myself for waiting 3 years to do so.
+ I have an unhealthy obsession with soft blankets. And Cherry Coke.
+ 18 people have RSVPed for the party tonight. That is workable, assuming they don't all stay for the debate and want to sit in the living room. (Our dining room is basically just an extension of our living room though, so it'll be fine.)
+ I don't actually believe that it's October. Everyone is lying to me.

Date: 2008-10-07 05:47 pm (UTC)China? Are you going with your "family"? How cool!
Yeah, we can't afford to do it the "normal" way. As it is, we are saving a lot just to do it backpacking. We want to do it soon because we are planning to start doing the kid thing in the fall, and you can't really backpack around Europe with a baby in tow. (Well, you could, but it doesn't sound fun.) We're still debating on the Eurail pass because we can't use it in at least one country we're going to, and Isaac's over 25 so it will be extra expensive. I don't know if they will let me get the youth price or not, because I'll be turning 26 while we're over there. We'll see. But yeah, hostels, trains... I'm excited!
