Stimulation

Recently, I went on a spending spree.

I charged $328.30 on my Mastercard. I went to Target and blew $98 on food. I got 17 dollars worth of hair cut. I took Katy to Applebee's for the tune of 27 dollars for a nice meal, or two. I thought about charging up my Herbs credit card a couple hundred bucks but haven't done that quite yet.

That's right. I went on a spending spree and spent alot of money! Luckily the money wasn't mine. It came from D.C. It was awful nice of them to share some money with me and I sure do hope that they shared with you too!


Apartment Hunting

Katy and I toured two places at the Larpenteur Estates on Thursday afternoon. It was a one bedroom with 780 square feet, kitchen and place for dining room separate from living room, a bathroom of good size and decent closet space for $725 or $745. (We had two to choose from.)

But we toured the RoseMall Apartments a while ago, got an appointment to look at one but it was canceled because another person had a shot at it. But we got a call back last Friday afternoon, Katy looked at it and took it Saturday morning! It's 880 sq feet for $705. It's on the ground/basement level so we don't have a walk out deck or patio but Katy said there was enough light coming into it that it would work. As I like a house with alot of light. It's got a nice size living room and a small spot for a dining room across from a galley kitchen. It's one bedroom too. I think you can probably pull up a floor plan on the link above. Hhmm, maybe not.

So, we have an apartment thanks to Katy! I'm happy about it. Oh yeah, it's just off of Snelling. It's right next to the Target just off of Snelling. Close to a library, Har-Mar and Rosedale and easy access to Highway 36. So, that's that. :)

Job Update

I have a phone interview for a Merchandise Specialist job with Target downtown on Wednesday at 1:30. I'm really looking forward to it because I think I can get it, and am looking forward to giving it a good shot so Katy and I are not completely broke after two months of marriage. I think it entails alot of what I've been doing at Herbs for a while but with more emphasis on behind the scenes tasking. ( ie should pay more) So, talk to me...and pray for me...for a good fit.

Life

Oh yeah, Em's got me talking to a Life Coach too. Apparently my life needs help but it's so far in shambles she just can't talk to me. ;) No, but really, I'm kind of looking forward to seeing what Matt has to say and how I can benefit from his question asking.

We finished talking with Sid tonight about expectations. It was our sixth visit with him and it's been fun talking about anything and everything, the big and the small.

Ah what an excellent entry. I think that Mechandising job is perfect. I know people who graduated from Bethel that did that and buying and selling stuff too which I think you would be great at--give me their number and I will call and tell them how wonderfully qualified you are--and how stellar you dress. :) I'm also glad you found an apartment. That's a relief. Good job Katy!

Great to hear that you got an apartment. That must be a big weight off of you both. Best wishes tomorrow with your interview. I will pray that they can see your potential and willingness to learn. :)
