use real butter

Tonight, we worked on modifying and installing some shelving we brought from Ikea (oh, how I wish Ikea were in Denver…)

And by 10 pm, the kitchen was essentially unpacked and completed. The once empty wall is now Serious Kitchen Workspace.

I’m ready to roll, baby.

We went down to Boulder and checked out an asian market, a middle eastern market, Whole Foods (aka Whole Paycheck), and Safeway (because I refused to pay a million dollars for apple juice at Whole Foods). Fiona was right, the asian market is disappointing. I’ll have to try Denver. The produce at Whole Foods was pretty mediocre for such outrageous prices (and half aren’t even organic, they’re conventionally grown!). Grumble grumble grumble. But our hopes for Trader Joe’s to arrive here (they’re already in Santa Fe) are dashed because the state of Colorado has crap ass legislation that requires only ONE flagship store to have a liquor license. For that reason, apparently, TJs doesn’t play. For that reason, we will pay out the ass for groceries of lesser quality.

tortilla chips at 8400: how high to go before it busts?

Let’s see here. I brought oatmeal for brekkie and I find that I’ve thoroughly emptied all of my crap from my desk so that I am eating my oatmeal with my fingers. At least my hands are clean…

It’s my last day at work – yay!
I’m feeling much better about leaving now because I got some news recently that sets my mind at ease. I had worried about leaving things in such a state as to make life very difficult for someone else here. However, that person has found an opportunity which frees them from these problems – and we are both very happy about that.

Our sellers are the coolest people ever. I wish every person could be so reasonable and have a sense of humor.

The packing and especially the cleaning has been freaking poor Kaweah out. When Jeremy shut off the vacuum last night she came out from her hiding spot and wagged at him. But then he had to resume vacuuming and she got sad again. Not much longer pup.
