Thursday night, textual explosions.

[enamoured]

You know what's great? That first day in September when you know that fall is coming--and in Texas, I've come to realize that it's the first day that the temperature stays in the low-to-mid 80s and there's a breeze. It was pretty much overcast all day, and I walked Pepper twice, and now she's sleeping at the foot of my bed with her Lambchop toy near her back legs.

Speaking of Pepper: I'm really glad that she seems to like the new dog food I bought her today. We've been feeding her Purina Healthy Weight ever since she got off their puppy chow, but she's gotten so chunky lately that my mom kept pestering me about getting her new food. I went to Petsmart today in search of a new brand, and the kind I ended up getting seems pretty satisfactory. One of their reps was there, and she gave me a $2 coupon for it. I only bought a small bag because I wasn't sure how Pepper would like it, but, well, I think we're good. I might go get some more of it tomorrow.

I don't know how I forgot to mention this, but: I GOT A NEW CELL PHONE LAST MONTH. My first brand-new phone since the first cell that I ever got!

This is a big deal, because I put off getting a new phone for so long because I'm kind of cheap when it comes to tech stuff, and thusly every phone that I'd had since the first cell was a hand-me-down from another family member, even the phone that my dad gave me for Christmas a few years ago. But I was long overdue for an upgrade, and the one I wanted and got--the Nokia Lumia 900--was on sale for $49.99 (since the 920's coming out soon, I suppose). So on the 15th of last month, my mom and I both got the same phones. I have the blue one, she's got it in white, and I love this phone so much. I'm scared to get the bill, though, what with me checking stuff on my Tumblr app (if you have a Windows phone: Turtle Blog Reader is the Tumblr app that I use and it's great) and sending photos to Twitter. This is all old hat to most of you guys, but this is my first legit smart phone, and I'm so happy with it.

In other news: I have bought so much craft stuff lately that it's ridiculous. The fact that Michaels has this whole section dedicated to washi tape is not helping. And that totally reminds me: I (mostly) finished that Smash book that was in progress during the summer. I swear that it has to weigh at LEAST three pounds now. It's so bulky and full that it's ridiculous.

I'm seriously going to start looking for another job soon. I've been at The Job for six years, and right now I am the one in my department who's been there the longest, and it's just really starting to wear on me. I'm starting to dread the days when I have to go in, especially now that school's back in and my schedule is so wonky that I close like, pretty much all the time, even on weekends, when my availability's pretty much wide open. And I really, really hate that we no longer get new work polos once a year, because all of mine are worn out and getting a little too snug. I want a job that's not so stressful, and/or one that's remotely related to what I'm studying right now. If I could get paid for spending hours dicking around in Premiere Pro right now, I would so take that offer.

And I keep getting JC Penney flyers and marveling at how cute their most recent lines have been. I still haven't worn the bird print Peter Pan collar blouse I got from them during tax free weekend. It's been too hot. Also, I just really need new clothes, so I am going to try to get some ASAP.
