and a one and a two...

...just a short note here before i carry myself off to bed. we've been getting the sopranos from the library, so we watched an episode around 10, then i had to make a reasoned and measured comment on another blog, and time slips byyy so quickly when you have to get up eaarrly. see? i'm getting a little punchy anyway. we decided, after working with a $70/week budget for groceries for a few months now, to go to $80/week. it only makes sense. with the lower budget, if i'm not right on top of things, there's nothing in the house for quick lunches and snacks, and that means spending more money elsewhere. better to have something on hand, and to not worry about stretching that money for the last half of the week. it takes some work to feed two people on $70/week, and time is running short right now, with the 50-hour weeks i'll be putting in until mid-july. i love my work, and it's worth it, but i'm tired! and it's too hot to bake! wait, did i mention it's hot here? ah, yes. i believe i did. my participation in local food month shouldn't suffer too much from the workload, but it might include a lot of local bagels from the shop across the street. and, when it comes down to it, a little local-ish bourbon doesn't hurt, either. that's after i get home, of course. news to me: seagram's gin is located, partially, at least, in lawrenceburg, indiana. if only there was hoosier tonic...
