-116- Department Grocery Store

We had dinner with a friend tonight and afterwards stopped by a grocery store that we'd heard had furniture, just for fun. And yes, they sure did. This is only a small glimpse of the furniture they had ready to sell. To the left, you can see the entrance to the on-site jewelry shop. Weird, huh?

Also, please note Justin in the bottom right corner making a cheesy face from his perch on the couch.

-115- Climate Controlled Lunch Hour

This is the entrance of the building in which I work. The weather was so fantastic today that I had to spend the last half of my lunch hour outside. I just sat on a little wall and enjoyed the light breeze and blue skies.

-114- Not Laboring

Happy Labor Day!

We had an absolutely wonderful day here, both weather- and activity-wise. Both Justin and I were off, so we got to spend the day together, which was probably the best thing about the day. Our friend came over and we grilled and had a very tasty lunch of steak, corn on the cob, ranch style beans, crescent rolls, salad, and green beans. All the while, the front door was open, but not without what little protection we could muster. This is a small gate that we use to keep Chloe out of our room when its door is open... she can jump it but only if she really really really wants to. She was content today to just sit and look outside. I think after our little walk/leash experiment she didn't even want to venture outdoors anyway.

The open door also let in an amazingly fresh breeze. It's finally cooling down! You would not even begin to understand how thankful I am for that.

-113- Boiled

These are the leftover eggs I had when I bought a new package this morning. Justin's mom gave me a tip back before we got married: keep some hard-boiled eggs on hand, because he loves them. Up until now I hadn't boiled any for us, but I figured I would now that I had a chance. Wonder how long they'll last? Probably not long.

-112- Scary Apartment Complex

All I'll say about this picture is that we spent some time peeking out this window this evening, because there was a lot of yelling outside one of the apartment buildings across the parking lot from us... the police came and things seemed to settle down. I can't wait until we move!!!

-111- My Very Own Jar Of...

I came home for lunch today because Justin was off and it was great to be able to see each other in the middle of the day. After the meal, I decided I wanted something sweet and joyfully remembered I had bought Nutella a couple days earlier because I had a coupon. If you don't know what Nutella is, let me tell you: it is chocolatey, hazelnutty goodness - spreadable, too! I think it's been a year since I last had it (not counting those crepes I had at IHOP for my birthday...), so this was a really  nice treat.

-110- Fits

Tonight as we ate a late night snack, Justin went into a fit of laughter... he was rolling on the ground and even had some tears rolling down his cheeks! (This photo is a mild depiction of his laughing.) I didn't see what was so funny but I laughed and laughed because he was hysterical! Oh, and afterwards he still didn't know what got into him. Never a dull moment!
