Finally a second to relax
So I've decided to turn down Restoration Hardware in favor of the bridal shop. The bridal place called me and said they will hire me...as soon as they hire a full time person first. So I'm in limbo waiting for that fateful phonecall allowing me to work there. They gave me their word that I will be offered the position as soon as they fill the full time spot though, so at least I have that one pending. It might even be better that I'm waiting for that one since I already need a weekend or two off in the beginning here to get started with school and go to Iowa for a couple of friends' wedding. I've also been hooked up with a few very good paying dental assisting hours, so that will also tide me over until the other one comes through.
Things have died down for the most part this week. TJ and I refinished a wooden kitchen table we bought for $60 (including 4 chairs) a little while ago. The sanding and stripping left us very sore today, but after 2 coats of stain and sealer, it's looking pretty darn good. We were a little heartbroken to discover that we could've bought a kitchen table with 2 chairs at Target for $40, but that one was half the size of ours, so we still feel okay about this one. While sanding the table yesterday, we opened the windows in TJ's car and turned on the radio for some working music. We must've had it on for about an hour at the most. We then jumped in to go get some tools and the thing wouldn't start; we had killed the battery. Fortunately, one of Boston's finest was sitting in his car out in front of the house, so we talked him into helping us jump the car. The officer was very hesitant at first and really didn't look like he wanted to do it. We coaxed him into it after about a minute of sweet and innocent pleading.
Today we're gonna try out a new burrito place we heard about last night called El Pelon Taqueria and then possibly attempt to brave the rush and buy some bedroom furniture. This weekend is a tax-free weekend in Massachusetts, its shopping frenzies rivaled only by the day after Thanksgiving-Christmas rush. It would be nice to save 5% off of a furniture purchase though. We're still debating this one. Other than that, it's a pretty low key weekend for us. Tomorrow we need to track down a Lutheran church in this catholic and jewish-dominant city...that's a scavenger hunt in and of itself...
