 This is what I had last night:

Chocolate bar. Chocolate soda, and chocolate wine. Going choco-crazy over here! The soda, considering its kosher, and uses a dating system I am not familiar with, could have been 3 years past expiration for all I know, but it tasted fine. I didn’t go to sleep feeling all that good though.  Maybe a tad too much to drink.

I did wake up better.

After dusting off my art history class knowledge and putting that to good use, I gathered my laundry and went to the laundromat. When I arrived, I noticed two things. #1. I forgot my bedsheets/pillowcases. Not a giant deal. Though I wished they had been washed. #2. I forgot my work clothes, which did make me upset, since those are probably what needed to be washed most of all. I wasn’t going back though, since I had already shut the door or the washing machine by this point. I think I’ll risk disaster and see about hand washing them, or at least washing them somewhat somehow.

Getting back, I needed to start of my thrifting adventure. This also involved finding a place to lunch. Considering the last time I just winged it and drove around finding something to eat, I temporarily lost my side mirror, I decided to use google maps before I left to find something. I was looking for somehting Chinese possibly, didn’t like my options around where in Arlington I was going, and deicded to look further up, along the way to my destination. Ended up going here:

Masala Wok.  Ah, chicken vindaloo, it’s been awhile! Could have been spicier, or maybe I’m just not fazed by it.

My napkins kept blowing away.  Crowded, so I ate outside. It nearly killed my phone battery though reading articles while eating. Quirk I have, I almost HAVE to read while I eat. Articles, menus, Facebook, something. Would have simply texted someone, but realized anyone I would have texted was asleep, working, or not likely to respond immeidately. I need more friends, and figure out a way to accomplish that.

Immediately before that, I found a Michael’s and decided that I maybe needed some canvasses. As in, I did not know if I had any, so I figured to check it out because I would need some anyway sometime soon. I found this little guy

With a look on face like he found out about the birds and the bees a little too early.

First after-lunch stop was a dollar store/thrift store unholy alliance. Both in one roof. Found a nice pillow case that I can use. I bought a small pillow for my couch awhile back and it started tearing at the seams. And I think this will work perfect. It’s even in my colors!

I also found a valentine’s bear graveyard.

The thrift store half, nothing of note. Meh clothes.

Soooo tired. I fell asleep at this point for an hour (not in the narrative, like right now, this evening, writing this).  This is gonna have a part 2 tomorrow.

As apologies, I give you Rocco.   In a box.

This is how I was greeted leaving for work Saturday morning.  This guy is ridiculous. : )
