Apple Dapples
Saturday….
It kinda sucked. I spent the day loading up Paul’s trailer with my heaviest possessions, driving them to my apartment, and then hauling them up the stairs. I have definitely done more fun things than that. But, we got the bed and the couches and the tables up there, and the apartment is mostly put together. Now we just need to get the little things…
Like dishes… I ended up eating my Apple Dapples out of a tiny ramen bowl.
The apartment is looking good, had my mother (a perfectionist and clean freak in the truest sorts)over, and she loves it, so that’s a point in our favor. Her parents haven’t been over since we moved in, but if my mother is satisfied, I doubt they’ll have anything to complain about.
To thank Paul for all his hard work, I treated him and his wife to a dinner at the Melting Pot. For those that don’t know, the Melting Pot is a fondue restaurant. It has some decent food, and a VERY nice atmosphere at the one downtown. It also has one of the highest price tags I’ve had the displeasure of encountering. But, its definitely a place to try out if you got the green.
Speaking of green, I had a very new experience yesterday: Grocery Shopping!
I’m not altogether surprised that to find that I search the aisles for the cheapest deals in the store. I look at a $4 box of cereal and scoff, instead buying the $3 bag that’s three times the size. Sure, its a good deal, but all the cool kids have Apple Jacks, and I have a garbage bag full of Apple Dapples.
Maybe this trend will subside when I know I have more money, but right now, I’m watching every penny as I venture out into this brave new world known as ‘Living On My Own.’ I don’t want the water bill to come in and say, “I’m one dollar short! Why oh why didn’t I buy the Apple Dapples?”
If that happens, I will try to be as dramatic as possible.
Zel-kun out.
