No more sulking!

I start my new job on August 16, the day before my birthday, and I am certain that my entire life is going to be happier now. Where you work has that kind of effect on you.

This summer is flying by. I finally replaced my iPhone with a 3GS. My old one is in such terrible condition and I have been really embarrassed by it because I never treat electronics like this. I dropped it in the grocery store one day (not its first fall) and it hit right on the corner and shattered. I carried it around in all of its scotch-taped glory for 5 months. The guy at the Apple store swore to me that a computer geek will buy it for $100 and put a new screen on it but I don’t think that he knows that it actually squeals instead of vibrating.



My dog already ate the $30 ear phones that my new phone came with. He rarely chews things up, but when he does it’s always something that will just tear up your entire day.



I am ready for Fall. It’s the best time of year and everything is always right with the world during that time. It is just so beautiful and cool like life is set to a John Mayer soundtrack. I got a $19 dress from the freaking Junior’s section of Macy’s that I can wear as we transition into Fall..



Although it’s not even that bad here, my mom would fuss about my posture in this picture. She is 5’10” and wears it proudly and always talks to me about my shoulders being back. She is right and I am working on it.

I always have intentions of not spending money when I go shopping with Jamie but I know it’s not going to happen so I set myself a $40 or $50 limit. I do really good. I never spend more than $35. Like Friday when I got the dress, some earrings, and a 20 eye shadow collection all for just $33. I should have known better about the eye shadow, though. It made my eyes itchy and I’m trying to think of something better to do with it instead of throwing it away. It’s pretty, but toxic.



We went in every store trying to find a necklace for Jamie to wear with a dress. We found nothing but back home in my apartment we discovered a perfect match in the form of a bronzey-golden, ribboned, and beaded necklace. Problem solved. For free.



A couple weeks ago I found this Tiki planter for cheap. He is supposed to be outside with a flower in him but he is a giant candle holder instead.

Hi Vaibhav! I'm great and I hope you are. I've actually been spending all of my time working the past couple of months and didn't have much to write about anyway, but hopefully that is changing now with my new job! Thanks for reading :)
