First, I got to get to work at 9 am (8:30 is sooo early) and leave at 1. It was my last half day Friday. Half day Fridays, I shall miss you. Having to make up the time for the 1\/2 day Fridays, :PPP<\/p>\n<p>After work, I drove home with the windows down, listening to Tom Petty&#8217;s &#8220;American Girl&#8221;, The Clash&#8217;s &#8220;This is Radio Clash&#8221; and The Eagles &#8220;Life&#8217;s Been Good&#8221; (live). It was my last gasp of summer &#8211; it was a gorgeous day in Cheesecake City following two days of rain.<\/p>\n<p>Gene and I went to lunch (Qdoba again &#8211; gee, I love that place!) and ran some errands. Eventually, I worked up the nerve to go to the baby store &#8211; at GENE&#8217;S request. I certainly had no interest. No sirree.<\/p>\n<p>And I got there and looked at the door to the store where there was a sign.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;NOW HIRING&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Seriously. Just like in my day dream.<\/p>\n<p>I applied, but Gene says it is too far away (a good 30 minute commute) and not in the greatest part of Cheesecake City. I&#8217;m OK with it because in theory I might not have to arrive until later than that. But, oh well. And I never got to tell them all about the wonders of the P3. C&#8217;est la vie.<\/p>\n<p>La Vie.<\/p>\n<p>Looked around, had\u00a0a nice chat with a saleswoman who showed me several nice things. I fully intend to buy my furniture and bigger stuff there because I loved the selection. So many choices! I saw my #1 choice for linens which I ended up HATING. Phew. I mean, I know I have time and I&#8217;m not buying anything (more) yet, but I&#8217;m glad I saw them in person. They were so dingy and the bumper was really fat. Bleh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have had the GREATEST day. First, I got to get to work at 9 am (8:30 is sooo early) and leave at 1. It was my last half day Friday.
