saturday we spent cleaning out closets, unsuccessfully looking at furniture, and taking things to goodwill. we have a bit of a storage problem in our bedroom. the room is pretty small, & our king size bed takes up most of the room, so there isn't a lot of room for huge dressers. we have one closet which we have to split between ourselves, and it wasn't quite organized as best as it could have been, so j rearranged the shelves & added another pole for hanging clothes. i thinned out my dresser (which was packed to the gills), and found room for most everything. we had been using the closet in the office, but that will be the baby room, so we moved most things down to the basement. i just need to remember where everything is. one of the nice things about working at home is that i don't need a huge wardrobe. either i'm in teaching clothes, or i'm in comfy pajamas/work out clothes. my teaching clothes repertoire is pretty small - no fancy designer clothes anymore. no fun bright orange jeans or shiny gold satin pants. :( i'll miss those clothes. but they belonged to a different era of my life. this is a new one, a non-consuming era. i think it's healthier this way.
we went to mcmenamins for dinner, because i had been craving chicken tenders. unfortunately, they have a dumbo new menu, which doesn't include chicken tenders. the saving grace was that it was happy hour, so j & i split a cheeseburger & a hummus plate. he got beer, and i got a milkshake. i couldn't help it - the baby was asking for it! i need calcium... it's my new excuse.
after doing more chores, we watched "lord of war," a movie about arms dealers with nicholas cage & ethan hawke, among others. violent movie, but when all was said and done, a good one. parts of the story are true - that's the scariest part!

ok, #1. you have a closet big enough to house an office?
#2. you're past your bright orange jeans phase?
#3. there's no 'h' in nicolas cage.
closet that houses an office??? no, the closet was IN the office room, but will now be the baby room. ???
yes, past orange jeans phase. it's sad. i never go out anymore - too tired!
yes, i realized the misspelling of nicolas cage, but was too lazy to change it.
when WAS your orange jeans phase? I don't think I've ever seen such a thing... I'd go for red pants though :) whenever i bought fancy clothes it was for ballroom dancing down in eugene--now that I'm a student (and bound to live half my life in scrubs as of July, I'm certain) i buy new clothes on a quarterly basis and they're not shiny and fun, more cheap and cheap.
