My friend Ana decided to book a trip to Thailand at the last minute and she's documenting her travels at The Adventures of IndiANA Rodrigo. Go follow her! A few wise words to her from personal experience -
- Beware of flying cockroaches
- Drink lots of fruit smoothies
- Get your nails did as it's dirt cheap
- Go for the oil massage, it's so much better than the Thai one
Sooo, I totally got a job! A good job too! My first week is finished (and I was home before 6 pm every day, jealous much?) So far so good, just lots to learn. And don't even get me started on the company store, I have heart palpitations every time I think about it. FYI, I'm working at a cosmetics company (because I'm worth it if ya catch my drift.)
I received flowers from my boss on my first day, how nice is that?? On top of that, Dave's parents were visiting with a back-to-back visit by Jay, both of whom got us flowers. Our apartment smells rather fragrant at the moment and looks quite pretty as well.
In other non-important news, I'm drowning in magazines (you'd think I would have learned my lesson from the Time debacle, but nevertheless...)
I'd been receiving Rolling Stone for the past few months and couldn't figure out who subscribed me. I thought it was either a gift or a random promotion (a bit odd considering I'd dropped their subscription years ago as I couldn't stand most of their political views.) Well, I get the dumbass award for this one - turns out I resubscribed myself and lost all memory of having done so. To be fair, they never billed me and, um, I was probably so busy the past few months that I simply forgot I'd done it. Anyhoo, I went to unsubscribe (the annual fee is only $20 but I just didn't want it due to my piled up backlog) and they actually pulled a "will you continue subscribing if we offer you 26 issues/year for only $10?" Well, it worked. If everyone knew they did this can you imagine how much money they'd lose??
I recently bought a Time Out NY subscription on Groupon - weekly issues for a year for only $10 (oh Groupon how I love thee.) I already skipped last week's issue and am on track to miss all of this week's events as well. So all in all a great purchase.
On top of that, I just started receiving Glamour, another magazine I really couldn't care less about - the last article I read was titled "Hey Guys, Let's Talk Sexting!" Really? People do that so much that it gets a dedicated article? Wow, I guess I'm old (or just not so Glamorous.) I found out that my United miles were about to expire, and I had so few that it was down to redeeming for two $25 Restaurant.com certificates and a magazine subscription. With options like Cigar Aficionado and Diabetes Forecast in my mileage range, Glamour truly was the best option.
Dave's had a subscription to Scientific American that he did not subscribe to for the past year as well. When I brought this up last week in passing, his mom told us that it was a gift from his grandma. Proper mystery solved!
Oh, and I've been getting Teen Vogue for free too! I swear I did NOT voluntarily subscribe to that one.
Dave is playing Limbo now and it's totes scary.
Time to win the $312M Mega Millions. See you on the flip side.
