Are some people really this ridiculous?

I'm speechless. I just stumbled across some how-to instructions for cleaning your jeans without washing them but by freezing them. Because naturally jeans should NOT be washed like regular mortal clothes. This is of course meant for "serious" jeans. So naturally, a few questions ran through my head.

1. Who calls jeans "serious"?
2. How much would you have to pay for "serious" jeans?
3. Why on EARTH would you spend that much money on clothes that require that much upkeep?
4. Are you kidding me?
5. Are you stupid?

I am amazed that people would go to such lengths to wear cool clothes. I have no time for that kind of thing. Or patience. Nor can I take that kind of person seriously. The only way I would pay exorbitant amounts of money for a pair of jeans is if they not only washed them selves, but the rest of the clothes in my closet. I have a hard enough time justifying Dry Clean Only, and Hand Wash Only clothes. Most of these jeans have a price tag of around $200, but I kid you not, I saw a pair of jeans with a $414 price tag. My prom dress didn't cost as much as either of those.

I am amazed.

Please, if you have jeans that are so precious to you that you cannot wash them but must freeze them, don't tell me. Because if you do, I don't think we can be friends anymore.

To-Do

Alrighty friends, I'm back from a mini vacation to Minnesota (just wait for the pics from the Spam Museum...) and I'm ready to get to work! Literally. I got a job. I'll be working for a tutoring company, and I will get to teach ACT prep classes. I'm pretty excited. And not to get too nerdy or anything, but I have to take the ACT and score at least a 28 on each section that I want to teach. I'm pretty excited. I've decided to do a bit of prep for the math section, let the reading slide (I haven't stopped reading or anything in the last 8 years, so I should be just fine...) and honestly if I can't get above a 28 on the science section then I don't deserve to have a teaching license.

Not only am I employed again, but I have a laundry list of things to do around the apartment. Alex's parents are coming to town -and mine too hopefully- at the end of the month for his white coat ceremony, and I have a few items I would like to accomplish by then. Here's the list:

Paint and stain side tables
Buy extra shelves for living room
Stain shelves
Unpack office
Seal the unfinished desktop
Paint new chairs and headboard
Convert dresser to entertainment center
Hang mirror in dining nook
Make pillow covers for bedroom
Research and buy air matress
Organize kitchen pantries
Organize office closets

So as it currently stands, I have 24 days to accomplish these 12 tasks. Ready, set, GO!
