psa and stuff

Tomorrow: Half-Off Sale at Savers. (On clothing, shoes and housewares, I believe. I'll be looking for table lamps, because, geez, Walter Wick books can be tricky in wan* light. I'll also be looking for things to wear to my paycheck-earning-place. Not that I need more clothes, but I'm thinking I want to purge some of what I have and get some new stuff. Let's see if I make it home with more than one or two tops. Now, if only books were also on sale. Ah, well. (Do I hear Cardo rejoicing about that book thing? Yes.)) [Update, after the sale: two tops, two books.]

We had fabulous, fabulous garlic fries at 5th St yesterday. I'll be thinking about those all week and ordering some more come next Saturday.

I love the name of the NPR program "Tiny Desk Concerts." I always imagine tiny people performing on a corner of my desk. I've only listened to one, featuring Adele, and I keep singing the last song of that set.

--------------

We bought a (used) piece of exercise equipment on Saturday. (Garlic fries first, then exercise. This is where my priorities stand.) Now I have even less reason to be very, very lazy. And even more reason to listen to my shorter saved podcasts. A little Stuff You Missed in History Class, anyone?

I might have decided that I'll be reading (some version of) the Bible this summer. Sometimes I marvel at how unChristian some Christians seem to be, but really I'm pretty ignorant on the subject. I feel I need to first read the text (or, the Word in the Book) to get a basic understanding. I really tried to be Christian for a large chunk of my life, but it just wasn't happening. (And, now, I've probably freaked people out. I think that most people who know me well know I'm not religious and that I'm trying to figure this issue out for myself. I am in the "freedom of religion" camp. That's it on that for now.)

--------------

I'm working on being less (negatively) judgmental. (See the above and feel free to judge me.) The older I get, the more I realize how limited my own experiences are. Instead of being instantly annoyed whenever someone says or does something I find offensive or hurtful, I'm going to try to understand that the person might just be going through a difficult time. Or, they just don't care about the same things that I do and I have to accept that about others.

* I looked up "wan" because I'm compulsive like that and the example fragment my dictionary gave me is, "the wan dawn light."
