I turned on the computer to do some bills and balance the checkbook. It's only been 30 minutes, but I haven't done any of that and it is now time to go to bed. While I don't hate to do the finances, it is not my favorite chore. It's nice to know how much money there is, and if I am so inclined I can give myself a little extra spending money. (Not really, but a girl can dream.)
My sad experience: I have a book fair going on right now and, as expected, there have been a few shoplifters. I have caught a few of them (3 to be exact), and it's just sad for me. I know I shouldn't take it personally, but I do. I am sure that there have been some thefts that I am haven't caught. The up side of all of this is that most of the kids know that some shoplifters have been caught, so this should deter future dishonest tendacies. Friday will be a good day, because I will be done with this. That is done with selling; I will still have to pack up lots of books and that is a headache in itself.
Happy thought: I keep forgetting to say that I love my new trash can (or maybe I mentioned this already and forgot about it). I used my Kohl's Christmas giftcard (thank you Cidnee) to help purchase a Simplehuman trash can. I had a rubbermaid, from Wal-mart or Target, that had a lid that pivoted, and I grew to hate it; really, really hate it. There were so many negative feelings that I was a few weeks away from needing professional assistance. Walking in the kitchen was a pleasant experience, until I viewed my hated and despised trash can. Those feelings are now gone. I have a wonderful step that I push to open the lid and the trash bag is hidden so you have no ugly overhang. I received a free 3-liter can that's the same, only smaller, and I put it in my bedroom. Some might say, or think, that I spent too much for a trash can, but I know that the peace of mind I feel is priceless. Now, I just need to get one the right size for the bathroom.
I have been thinking and typing slowing, so this post took 15 minutes. I can feel the late-night lag and it's only 10:30pm. Or, perhaps, I feel guilty that I have to figure out the bills tomorrow or the next day.

I would say it's a little expensive but that's because we hardly even spend $69 on a book case and that hold books (you know Jon's most favorite thing) and not trash. :)
I wouldn't mind a nice new trashcan, but I don't have such negative feelings for mine. ;)
I've looked at that trashcan- several times. I just haven't been able to do it. But yay for you getting rid of such a menace as your old trashcan.
If all I need to do is give into my wife's obsession for a stylish trash can and a lable maker to keep love flowing and peace in the world, it is worth it to me. I am still looking for a lable maker that is good enough to produce world peace. Until then I avoid the discussion.
