burning a hole in my pocket

Working a new job means more money in my bank account and what better way to utilize my first paycheck than to treat myself to these gorgeous Gap high-waisted trouser jeans. I generally cannot justify spending so much for a pair of jeans, but these babies were just exactly the new addition I've been needing to revamp my wardrobe. I'd been ogling them for weeks and as an added bonus, I can wear them for Casual Friday's at work!

Another plus to having a "real person job" is that I get the weekends off. Having worked as a waitress for the past year, weekends were always spent serving food. Now I can fully enjoy them! I had a great weekend with Jeramy in Brattleboro, VT where I picked up a Kate Bush record on vinyl. The weather was gorgeous and it was nice to grab a delicious maple latte from Mocha Joe's and walk downtown.I hope to have many more excursions to share with my newfound weekend time and when I get around to doing my taxes (yes, I've been putting it off) I hope to buy a new fancy camera with my return, so I'll be sure to post!
Even though I'm significantly more busy during the week and blogging time is hard to come by these days, I promise to make the effort to stick around!
