killer toast

Survivalist lesson #1: for days when it’s -15 degrees in the morning.

1) have a very warm boyfriend – this will keep you alive while sleeping

2) own a car with seat warmers – this will keep you alive while driving

3) wrap a large Gophers scarf around your head – if you can still feel warm breath, you’ll have proof you’re still mostly alive while walking

You know, I had five different opportunities to just forget to climb on a ship or plane, and I could’ve been living somewhere warm right now. Instead, I’m in the barren tundra slowly writing about those places. I keep reminding myself how awesome Minneapolis is in the summer, but a short trip for Matt’s birthday is looking hella appealing right now.

So, I got some new Superstars to replace the Mexican Jungle Shoes, and HOLY CRAP, they are fly. Too fly, in fact, for a cracker such as me. They have glinting white shell-toes and a gold medallion in the laces. Seriously. I love them.

I had two big achievements yesterday: I played a lot of Guitar Hero (shut up), and I filed my taxes. Well, federal, at least, because I’m getting a big refund. The state can wait til April for its $50, especially since they won’t be giving me the renter’s rebate or that special $600 refund in July. JERKS. Anyway, I’m also proud of myself because I calculated that I’d get $300 worth of investment for free if I funded my IRA for last year, so I sent that off today, too. After this, my work IRA will take over and I won’t have to think about responsibility anymore; I’ll just be swimming in moneybags when I retire.

Right.

More soon!
