Well, I guess we're all settled in Aurora.  "Settled"  Jordan loves his job.  We're looking for a better place to live, and I need to find a job.  I  just don't want to.  The idea of having to go to and from work here is just exhausting in itself.  I can't understand why people want to do it.  Why people give themselves such stressful lives on purpose.

On the upside, the one thing about living here that I really love - I live across the street from an organic grocery store.  Now, they're more expensive on meat and dairy than back home, but cheaper on fresh produce.  So, surprisingly, it's been a lot easier to eat healthy here.  Instead of buying hamburger helper on sale for $0.75, I'm buying romaine and red leaf lettuce for $0.88 each.  (I haven't seen a head of iceburg there yet.) 

This evening - a jar of spaghetti sauce, 2 mangoes,  a bunch of romaine lettuce, 2 bunches of red leaf lettuce, 3 tomatoes, 5 lbs of chicken tenders, 4 apples, a bunch of radishes, a big container of yogurt, a bottle of apple juice, a small bunch of bananas, 3 red bell peppers, two small blocks of cheese, and 3 avocados for $41.  I don't think that's that bad.

My best deal tonight?  I had a coupon for kohl's.  Normally, I hate kohls.  I think their stuff is WAY expensive and for only average quality.  To  me, it's a status thing, not really a value thing.  But, they're having a father's day sale and I  had this coupon.  $10 anything in the store, clearance included.  So I went to buy J a new shirt, since he has to have more dress casual stuff for work now instead of his ratty work clothes that he used to have to wear.  I went straight to the clearance racks.  Not much that he would wear.  No stripes, no pastels, no prints really.  Preferably a light weight polo or button down shirt.  I found one that was ok.  Not one that he'll be thrilled with, but it'll be ok.  Sage green polo.  Originally $26.  When I picked it up, the sign just said on sale 30-50% off, but didn't give an exact sale price.  I just figured even at 30% off, and my $10, it'd still be a decent price.  Imagine my surprise at the register when the girl told me I didn't owe anything.  The shirt was $9.99 on sale.  With my $10 coupon?  Oh yeah, one shirt, completely FREE baby!!!

Ok, so that's really all the rambling I have energy for.  I haven't gotten used to the fast pace here.  It just sucks the energy out of me.
