Mar. 18th, 2012 11:00 pmI finished grading my Global midterms in the morning and the Kid came over wanting to hang out. Now that it is warm outside, she’s coming around again. So I enlisting her help, gave her a calculator and had her calculate the grades (averaging three essay scores) for my midterms. She really liked that and she was practicing math and percentages too. Win-win for both of us.
And then Bear came over and we went suit shopping in the mall. For me the mall is the soul sucking place of hell. I really don’t like clothes shopping or shoe shopping. It is a little better when I’m shopping for something specific so I know I can get in and out but I’m not a fan of browsing. And the lost time. We got there at 1:40 and after we were done with the suit, and looking at shoes and getting a tie and figuring out the rings, I asked Bear for time and was shocked to know it was three hours later. Soul and time sucking place.
But we did manage to be productive. We decided that Bear would buy a suit for the wedding instead of renting a tux since then we gets to keep the suit and it be useful. And Bear got a dark grey suit and a nice grey stripy tie. We also picked his ring which I will have to go back and order in about 10 days – he needs size 13 so we need to order. He looks very nice in it. Now he just needs shoes. I’m just glad to be done with clothes shopping.
We also decided that we need a non-wedding related date. So for our next date we’ll get Indian lunch and go see “Hunger Games.”
We did go to Toys R Us after the mall for Galya’s early birthday present since I might not have time in the next few months – I’m taking care of this very early. I’m getting her blocks and I also got a ball. I hate gender divisions in the toy store, they come up more and more – “girl” blocks in stupid pastel colors were three dollars more. This is for the same toy! And the primary color with the “boy” picture are much better for babies anyway!
I got some Japanese for dinner while Bear got Chinese take-out. I haven’t had Japanese in a while and it was very delicious.
