Give Me Back My Five Bucks

Well now that fall is just around the corner and everyone is getting back from summer holidays, I thought I’d start up the West Coast PF meet-up discussion again. We’re tentatively looking at the May 2010 long weekend (22-23-24) in Seattle! Please e-mail me at krystalatwork [at] gmail [dot] com. I’m going to send out another e-mail to the group sometime this afternoon, so even if you’re a little interested but not really sure, just add yourself to the list to stay informed! :)

Well, this weekend wasn’t as productive as we had planned, but it was still nice. Our original plan was to go rock climbing on Saturday (which we did – and I climbed my first 5.10b!), and then go for a long day hike on Sunday. Well, the hike BF had wanted to do would have been at least 12 hrs. long – too much for me to consider as a day hike, especially because it would have taken 3 hrs. round trip by car just to get to that area. Then I guess we didn’t have a backup plan, so … Continue reading →

I bought a new bathing suit. It was kind of an impulse purchase, but that’s okay – it’ll be my first new suit in 3 or 4 years, so I don’t feel too bad about it. It cost me $49.99 after shipping and tax, which is about 50% off the regular price. Normally I would be wary about buying a bathing suit on the internet. But I’ve always owned this brand of swimsuit, and I’ve always bought the same size. So I’m sure it will be fine. My current bathing suit is okay, but I’m always afraid of ruining it … Continue reading →

Yesterday evening BF and I went grocery shopping. My total came to $50.50 – which is more than I would usually spend. But this is also our 1st grocery shopping trip of the month (we’re already halfway done the month, and I think this might be my only grocery trip this month), so we were in dire need of a lot of things. I also picked up a 4-pack of veggie ground round for $8.99, some fish and a block of cheese. Then we came home and he made fajitas for dinner. And tonight he’s going to make Indian. Sometimes … Continue reading →

I recently read on Christina’s blog (Stories from a Country Girl) that she received a Snuggie as a gift from her boyfriend. I am always making fun of that infomercial with my sister and mom … and for that reason, I’m going to buy them both one for Christmas. :) It’ll be hilarious! I haven’t thought about Christmas until now, but it’s a good thing I’m starting. Last year I got most of my shopping done by the time summer was over. That left me completely stress-free come the holidays, and I was able to enjoy myself a lot more. … Continue reading →
