Today's soundtrack:  Madness by Muse

So I didn't update last night (oops!).  Here's a quick morning recap of yesterday:

Woke up to someone honking their horn at an unnatural pace for a very long time.  I was super annoyed.  We then bummed around, I emailed Jack and the TripAdvisor guy from the party over the weekend (no response, so there goes that, but I will still apply for a job there through the website).  I also applied for a job with the Boston Bruins.  I had to write a new cover letter for that so it took awhile, but I have high hopes!  I feel like I would be good at most things, since I am relatively smart and am able to pick things up really quickly.  The hard part is getting someone to notice me, and then convince them!

After I finished up that stuff, we walked down to a HomeGoods store about a mile away.  There was a  Dollar Tree right next door so we stopped in and got a few cheapy things (candy! and a popcorn bowl!).  We walked back, and then took the T to Fenway/Kenmore.  I have a Bed Bath and Beyond giftcard from Auntie J for my birthday that I wanted to burn, and thats the closest place.  I got a laundry bag and a drying rack for the kitchen.  I still have $3.77 left on my card, I guess Massachusetts doesn't do the whole 'cash back if less than $5 on a giftcard" which kind of sucks.  I will have to go back and find something cheap to finish that off.

We stopped into Best Buy and bought a Sonic video game for $20 (I had $5 off from putting the couch on my credit card).  We also looked into West Elm, Blick's Art Supplies, and stopped off at Starbucks for a treat.  We walked right by Fenway, it's really neat looking, I can't wait to go to a game!

When we finally got back, we decided to go for a run (well, in my case, a walk).  We explored new areas near the apartment and found a lake with a path around it that was really pretty.  Sara took some pictures (I would have but I didn't have my phone).  I ran a bit, but I am really out of shape, and I had to stop a lot.  I really need to get good running shoes and do it more often.  We stopped at a hardware store nearby and looked at paint samples, and then Whole Foods on the way back to look at food.

Although I was exhausted, I set up my computer to connect to my PS3, so we can watch anything I have on here on the TV.  With that, plus Hulu Plus and Netflix, we will be set!  No cable needed :)

Sara made pasta for dinner, whole wheat Penne, with a mushroom onion alfredo sauce that she added cayenne to.  We had salad to start and then enjoyed our dinner.  I did the dishes, then we sat on the couch and watched the last few episodes of The Inbetweeners on Hulu.

Ok, so it wasn't really a quick recap.  I tend to overwrite and get carried away.  It's a lot easier now that I have my computer, it was really hard to keep track of and format right on my phone.  No pictures for yesterday, but maybe I will make up for it and take extra today.  Plans for today are: lunch with Jessi, and then she's gonna take us to Target for a quick trip to get things we forgot the other two times we were there.  Other than that, I don't know what we are up to!
