One Month of Marital Bliss?

Tuesday, August 5, 2008

Today is our one-month anniversary. Don't worry, we're not going to celebrate EVERY month, but one month's exciting, no? What have I learned so far?
~ I am not the emotional wreck that several of my preparing-for-marriage books suggested.
~ Living with a guy is... well... interesting.
~ Living with basically your best friend is awesome.
~ Making Valerie-style menus to put on the refrigerator is fun! (How domestic am I?)
There's lots more, but these are the basics that I don't mind posting on the interweb.

I'm sitting in my apartment drinking Blue Bottle Coffee. (For those of you not living in San Francisco, Blue Bottle is pretty much the best coffee in town. At least, that's what the locals say.) Chip picked up some fresh-roasted beans yesterday and a coffee bean grinder, so I was pretty excited this morning to try it out. I just have to work on getting the amount of beans right.

A friend volunteered to give me some career advice. (She career counsels for a living.) She's given me some great ideas and I'm feeling a little better about the job search. She showed me some more things I can do to better market myself, so that's exciting.

Today I'm going to the Museum of Modern Art with a friend. Apparently admission is free today. Yay, culture!
