The Milk Duds I bought to try after the name came up in "Apples to Apples" with Megan last Friday & I had no idea what they were. Kind of like Riesens but a wee bit softer. For the record - Peanut Butter M&Ms? Also very tasty.)
So I tried to 'ride the bus' today (they just leap aboard here; no kind of catching-style - even with baseball gloves in abundance) but the Marathon meant my wait was utterly in vain.
As a second resort I found myself in the thrift store nearby N.Foushee Street, rummaging through a fabric mountain of well, fabric scraps along with curtains, bed linen and sham covers (a pillow case for want of any other definition. Allegedly fancy/ier. I'm not so sure.)
Did the trick. Emergency bedding acquired for Beautiful 2!
(Beautiful 1 might also be here next Sunday, fingers crossed. Hope so.)
Lauren & I still ended up at Willow Lawn later in the day once the traffic normalised.
(She humoured me insofar as to drive via DMV, where the local Recycling Center is! Happy enviromental faces all around!) So I now have a second comforter from the bargainous Ross (Queen-sized to replace the Twin & double up over me as the nights grow colder) & two cupboards full of food to tide me over the coming weeks.
(I feel I may have given American bread/prices a bad press several blogposts ago. My original loaf cost just short of £3 - not a fiver, but still double what I'd pay at home. I'm still standing by my belief that these brands are also in no way as substantial as British bread. British bread being the best thing since sliced bread. Here it's like the curse of Nimble all around.
However! I have since encountered K.Roger's reduced bread section for two weeks running, which tends to favour (not-so-)fresh Continental-style loaves making me happy indeed. Quality bread for a $1! What more could an Intern want?
Although I'm fast coming to the realisation that I might have to wait nigh on a year to eat smoked peppered mackerel again. Salmon is here; salmon is from Scotland! Why then no mackerel? I'm a bit sad. I shall keep on in my quest. Although K.Roger's reduced Scallops last night were well tasty. And I bought other fish which sounds like it wants to go dancing. Tilapia: GSOH. WLTM long slim with interest in hula-dancing.)
Back to the plotting board in readiness for tomorrow:
Act I.
Do a change.
Read a book.
(I'm thinking
"Gone With The Wind"
for this next stint.)
