2015.03.15 – Shopping

Natale wanted to go shopping for some shirts. I’ve always had pretty good luck at the Goodwill stores here in Portland so I figured we could just start there and then go to a clothing store if we struck out. Jayde and Jordan wanted to join us so the four of us went over to the Goodwill on Lombard. It was pretty busy! We all headed our separate ways and searched through the racks of stuff. Jayde hadn’t gone with us before so was a little bit snobby about it and barely event attempted to look at stuff before deciding they didn’t have a single thing she liked. Jordan and Natale on the other hand found all kinds of stuff as did I. Jordan even found a brand new pair of Vans that were ten bucks!

Once Jayde saw that we were all finding stuff she was more agreeable and went with Jordan and Natale to find stuff. She found several shirts she liked and seemed sold on Goodwill. I’m glad because they really do have some nice stuff.

We were all so excited about our good luck at that store that we decided to head over to the bigger store on Broadway. It was much less busy than our local one. Once again we all found a few things we really liked. After we were over clothes shopping we headed to the store to get stuff for dinner. We decided on mac n’ cheese and mixed vegetables. We also grabbed stuff for Monday’s dinner while we were there.

When we finally made it back home I quickly mixed up some sourdough for two loaves of bread. I plan on making lasagne for Dinner Night and I thought some homemade sourdough would be good with that.

After dinner Andrew got a message that his talk submission for YAPC::NA::2015 was accepted! I’m so excited for him! He’s been wanting to give a talk somewhere and one was finally accepted. I guess I need to figure out travel since it’s in Salt Lake City, Utah and we have to be in Ottawa two days after and then come home.

Today I learned that our trip to Pittsburgh overlaps Father’s Day. Seems odd.
