Hangin' loose

missroseroseWeekend was long, and fairly restful. Adam didn't make it in until late thanks to a flight cancellation, so we weren't really able to give him the grand tour we'd had planned, but it was good to see him nonetheless. Today has consisted mostly of him following Brian around preparing to head out to the mine, where they're going to be for the next couple of days. House is going to seem awfully empty again...but oh well. At least it's only for a couple of days.
Meantime, I've bought myself some more music (I've been going through it a lot quicker since getting a desk job, I've noticed). This time around it was all about the Js - the main features were Joan Jett's new album, a couple by Jack Johnson, and one by Josh Joplin. (No Janet Jackson, though.) The Jack Johnson CDs made it in today, and I'm enjoying them a lot - his music is very "hang loose, bro"ish. Neither Brian nor I were surprised to find out that he's a surfer who lives in Hawaii and taught himself the guitar while recovering from an injury.
Lost Girls should be here today or tomorrow. I hope. *crosses fingers*
I finished my weekend job on Sunday; it was a lovely day for it, too, which is nice - through a bit of luck I managed to avoid the only two really crappy Sunday afternoons all summer. I'll probably get my final paycheck in a couple of weeks, which should have my $100 end-of-season bonus with it...that'll be a nice chunk of cash, even though I'll probably stick it straight in savings. (I went ahead and ordered tires for Kitty from Costco; I got the nicest ones they had, which are going to run me just over $800. But I should have just enough between this and next paycheck to keep my savings account over $300, the minimum to avoid fees.)
I know I've been out of college for a year and a half now, but it's still such a nice feeling, being able to afford everything I need and most of the things that I want. Even if I don't save as much as I probably should. =)
