i'm in love

{happy sigh} i love my group. i love my mentor. i love talking to phil and christina and susan and carter. i love having dinner with nick and debbie. i love coming home to my lovely apartment and parking vic in my garage. i love watching sportscenter on my big tv. i love my squishy queen size bed. things are really good.

yes, i love pretty much everything right now. in fact, the only thing i can think of that i don't love at the moment is the west nile virus, which is being spread by houston mosquitos. ha.

i finally went to the grocery store tonight after having dinner at nick's house. i spent so much money. but it was to be expected, i guess. since i had absolutely nothing, i had to buy a lot of cooking staples--everything from flour and sugar to ketchup and mayonnaise. whew. i just told myself that this will be my largest grocery bill ever, and i hope that is true.

tomorrow they're turning the power off in my office at 4:00 to install some new outlets or something. i don't understand why they have to do it during the workday, but i guess it means i'll have a totally legitimate reason to leave early, eh?

weird. i just looked at my grocery receipt. i bought a bottle of wine, and underneath that entry on the receipt, it says "date of birth = fri oct 10, 1975." huh? i wonder what that is. is the cashier required to put in a date? if so, he obviously made up my birthday since he didn't ask to see my license. and in that case, he was off on my age by two and a half years in the wrong direction--older. did he think i am 26 going on 27? grr.
