Updating the blu-ray player is a pain in the ass. I have to do it to watch Australia. It better be worth it!

Cabela's

On the way home from Virginia yesterday, we stopped at Cabela's because Nils wanted to get some fishing gear. There were elaborate animals display throughout the store. Quite an experience :)

New fishing pole, yeay!

Nils working on father's day steaks. Whoo hoo!

Uhuh

Who says only working people get to not have a life?

(mamamama)

Hmmm...

So how come the Daisypath ticker above says it's 11 months+ to my first anniversary? Shouldn't it be our second anniversary a year from now?

Actually both Nils and I forgot it was our nikah anniversary today (technically yesterday, since it's past midnight). Someone else reminded us of it. Haha... May there by many more laughters in the years to come.

All smiles :)

Not working has been really great. I am happy everyday, every day feels like a Saturday, I no longer hate Mondays, I get to live more than 2 days a week, and what else? I don't know, but I know there are more things I'm currently loving.

Strangely enough, now that I take in less money, I am more eager to spend my allowance. I think because I don't have to work for the money, I am less attached to it. I still put away a little bit for my not-so-secret stash, but I (happily) spend most of it. As a result, I am now waiting for an array of new toys, with a couple more on the list for when I get my next couple of allowances. Whoo hooo!

Fun or no fun, I have started to work on my resume. There is this one job that I want, so I'm tailoring my resume for it. I know I will have to apply to a couple of hundred before I'll land one, but at least I have a place to start. Nils is happy about that. Me, I'm not excited yet, but I know the time will come when I get bored of staying at home. I also don't want to delay our actual retirement too much, so I know I have to get a job soon :) The real retirement will be more awesome than this, because Nils will be "at home" with me, and we won't have to worry too much about saving for old age (we would both be old by then). Maybe we'll get lucky and get to retire earlier than planned. Who knows...
