-146- Casual Friday

This is me sporting my new Rangers shirt - which I got to wear to work today! We also got to wear jeans (like any other Friday), but if we wore a Rangers shirt we were allowed to wear tennis shoes as well. It certainly was a comfy day!

-145- 5 Down, 2 Across

Fifth line down, second word. What? Yeah, that's what I thought too when I read it. I'm currently re-reading a childhood favorite called The Blue Sword by Robin McKinley. I really don't know what "batman" is referring to, and I'm almost done with the book! I'm guessing it's some sort of servant. I just thought it was funny to see "batman" in a children's fantasy novel.

-144- Baby Hangers

Aren't these miniature hat hangers cute? I never thought about how hats were displayed in stores, but I guess some of them are done this way. We went to Sports Authority tonight to get me a Rangers shirt to wear to work on Friday. Yes, the boss tweaked the dress code to support the home team!

-143- Blank

Wow, I'm really horrible at this. I forgot to take a picture again. Obviously.

-142- Free Soft Serve

Last time we went to Burger King we got several pages of coupons for their new soft serve ice cream. There were a lot of free and buy one, get one free offers. We decided to try it out tonight. It was pretty good, except it's not actually hot syrup, just cold syrup (it would have been better with hot chocolate syrup). I wouldn't pay full price for one of these, but they were worth it because we got them two-for-one.

-141- Hollowing Out

One of the grocery stores in town is closing, so for the past few weeks they have been having a massive closeout sale. All the food and other merchandise is moved to the front row of the aisles, except the produce, meat, and dairy. I went today to see what I could find for a good price, and didn't come back with much (not that things weren't at a good price... they just were mostly things that we didn't need). Anyway, this picture captures just how empty half the store was. It was slightly eerie... there were people rummaging around and piling their shopping carts high, and it felt like it was one of those movies where there is some catastrophic event that makes it so that shop owners no longer have control over their stores, which results in mass looting. I even saw a man with a boy that had a cart packed with cosmetics... my only guess was that he was planning on selling them to make a profit, since they were marked down so much.

-140- Unfortunately, Those Aren't Really Chips Ahoy Cookies

We have begun to pack! Three more weeks... just three more weeks until we move, and yet there remains a lot that we still need unpacked (I found that out when I tried to pack all that I could this morning). So far all we have packed are most of the books and decorations... but it's better than nothing!
