Monday. Nothing really happened on Monday. It was a typical Monday – got up, went to work, went through the motions.
Elise made shredded chicken taco salads for dinner. After dinner, El shopped for airfare to Minneapolis. She’s going to her friend, Kari’s house for Labor Day weekend. I don’t mind her traveling to visit her friends – I encourage it. I married a foreigner, so I knew what I was getting into. At this point, it’s too expensive for us to both travel, so my Midwest vacations will be temporarily limited to every other Christmas.
El was concerned that I might not want her to fly to Minneapolis. I don’t know if it was because she thought I didn’t want to spend the money on a plane ticket, or she thought I would be overly lonely while she was gone. Either way, without hesitation, she bribed me with a Playstation 2.
I’m really not sure if I should get the PS2 or not. I don’t know why, but part of me says: “Josh, be responsible, save your money”. The other part says: “Josh, you buy your clothes at Walmart, you haven’t bought yourself anything in a long, long time – get the PS2”. I’ve really wanted a PS2 since before they came to stores. How long has that been, two years or so? Mom always said: “Sleep on it – see if you still want/need it tomorrow.” We have the cash (no BestBuy line of credit needed) and believe me, I’ve slept on it….
