dchenesLife Lesson #5974: You're crazy if you think you can get a Zipcar on half an hour's notice on the Saturday of a three-day weekend.
I finally gave up the "buy a 48" butcher block and saw the end off it to fit the 41 3/4" shelves" idea, and bought 18 x 36" shelves and a butcher block top for those. Having bought them, I had to get them home, and I hadn't quite thought that through. I had originally wanted to get them delivered, but not for $45, thank you. The options were cab (I hate cabs) and Zipcar, and as it turns out, the chances of getting ahold of a Zipcar were Ha, and Ha Ha. So the cab cost me $10, and now I've got counter space in the kitchen in case I want to cook anything involving a lot of chopping up ingredients or messing around with dough. Yay!
I also got my hair cut this morning, and got sorted out with my new hairstylist exactly what I want, and got it this time. (And got three or four apologies for last time, too.) And then I went downtown in search of pants, and was thoroughly disappointed with Macy's, and discovered I'm exactly the wrong shape all over for Eddie Bauer pants, and stopped in the hardware store on the way home, which led to the learning of Life Lesson #5974.
And then I came home and opened the electric bill for this month, which amounts to the grand sum of $24. I can't remember the last time I had an electric bill that low. Have I mentioned lately how much I love this apartment?
