I bought Coldplay's new album (X&Y) at Sam's Club last time I went there with Cam and Daniel. The CD cost $12. The jeans I bought cost more than that. But less than they would have at Old Navy. You could say "But the jeans you buy at Old Navy don't cost anything." Which is true. Because I have gift cards. But now I can buy free Old Navy jeans, and still have these $17 Sam's Club jeans. Or better yet, I can hold off on buying the Old Navy jeans until I throw away another pair.
I threw away my favorite pair of jeans a couple weeks ago. They were the ones with the pocket above the ankle (I never used it, but it was still cool - the clank of the button against my shin always gave me a feeling of comfort) and the cloth belt (that I stopped wearing because, for one, I don't usually wear belts, and for two, it was starting to unravel). They were dark blue. I loved the way they fit... But they got holes where my thighs rub together. I wonder, if I were thinner, would my jeans still get holes there?
I have class in one hour.
I went to the grocery store with Jude yesterday. We bought $112 worth of groceries. $28 of that was mine. He let me drink one of his sodas though.
We bought various goodies. My spoils:
- Two cans of whip cream. (They were buy one get one free.) One for my apartment, one for Daniel's, because he has a cappuccino / hot chocolate maker. HotChocolate.push(WhipCream). Yum.
- One can of hot chocolate. Jude got the other one. (Again, BOGO.) I took mine to work this morning and sipped a mug of hot chocolate whilst I worked on modifying this year's Senior Survey.
- Various six-packs of soda. I got Root Beer, Cream Soda, Lemon Iced Tea, Orange, and half a pack (3 cans) of "Blue Razz Blast", aka Blue Raspberry flavor. Jude got a bunch of six-packs, plus four cases of Ginger Ale. Some of which he plans on bringing to GameDev.
- Snyder's flavored pretzels, which were also on sale. They're buffalo wing flavor - how could I resist?
- Three TV dinners. Swedish Meatballs (which I ate last night at Jude's apartment after we got back from shopping), Cheese Enchiladas, and some other mexican food TV dinner.
- A six-pack of plain bagels. I was disappointed not to find any egg bagels.
- Soup. An easy-eat travel bowl of Gumbo, and the metal can equivalent for dinner at home some night, and another easy-eat bowl of Chicken Tortilla Soup.
- Crescent-rolls-in-a-can. They were on sale, again, so I bought another tube to complement the older one I have. I was thinking I'd make ham-cheese-crescent rolls tonight. 16 of them... eat two for dinner, and put the rest in a gallon bag in the freezer for easy breakfast/lunch/dinner/feeding hungry Daniels.
- And the entire point of the trip - cheesecake. Jude and I split a Sarah Lee cheesecake. We didn't eat the whole thing last night, though. Maybe half.
I should try to catch the 3:02 bus. I'll probably miss it anyways.
