another lazy day

Four o'clock on Sunday and G and I are just about ready to make our first major foray of the weekend. Ikea and Trader Joes. Some folks may think it silly, but a trip to either of those places tends to become a "date" in my mind. We're too poor to go shopping for luxury items together (read clothes, electronics, etc.) Thanks to my discount and G's ability to find amazing internet deals, we tend to stay vaguely in fashion and on top of things, but the thought of us spending a day shopping a Union Square type of environment and eating in the Nieman's restaurant is laughable. So, a trip to Ikea for a Rationelle turning shelf and a plate of cafeteria style food becomes a worthy date in my mind. And Trader Joes....who could not love a trip to buy a relatively good bottle of wine for 4.99? (That and a bag of rasberries that G's going to turn into some yummy muffins.)

But I will own a slightly unhealthy fascination with money. How else do I explain my secret obsession with shows like MTV Cribs and other tidbits from the lives of the rich and famous? Speaking of rich and famous, I must quickly mention that I was VERY dissapointed in Celebrity Mole this past week. If they were going to drag it out for another week, they could of at least had the courtesy to let me know in advance. I'd already promised G that he'd only have to live with that addiction one more night and thanks to ABCs need for more ratings, it turns out that I LIED. I blame corporate greed.
