Various and sundry is one of my favorite phrases. My husband and one of my brothers think it amusing that I choose to use the word sundry. Imagine my delight (and Sam's further amusement) when we moved here, to a place where there are all manner of sundries stores.
So, the various and sundry -
1. At the end of today's work day, I will have worked in this job for one year. I will not comment further on this milestone, except to say that it is sad that it is a milestone - the past four jobs I've had (including temp and part-time work) lasted less than a year. I'm happy to be moving away from a ditzy-looking resume, but almost bummed that I can no longer say things like, "This is my fifth job in less than two years."
2. This weekend, I found some great buys - major sales! But I think my ultimate was the new pair of Asics I bought. I've been thinking that it was time to buy a new pair of sneakers, but I wasn't looking forward to the investment. By chance, I came across a pair for $25, marked down from $80. Is that great or what?! And I wasn't even actively looking for them at the time.
3. The 19-Day-Feast last night was hosted by a Ruhi Book 4 study circle. Book 4 focuses on the history of the Baha'i Faith, so they did readings focusing on that, accompanied by pertinent images projected on the wall. Quite nice.
