So due to the ever watchful eye of the Wal-Mart parking lot garbage picker uppers, we've indefinitely moved to the CSC parking lot. It's a nice change. I gotta say though as much as I loathed the endless amount of rain that we got, its not the most enjoyable experience to have the sun slow roast you in your car while you sleep at 9am. I'll be looking forward to my favorite season of the year as it rolls in.
We've been making our dinners these days at Everly Park in the shelter since they have electricity and then we just let good ol George Foreman do his work. Since we've made the rec our first home, we've realized that we need more protein and calories in our diet. So its chicken breasts and tuna for us. When we returned to our forsaken mother, Wal-Mart, we must of looked like we were shining examples of good will and generosity. We stood in line buying a massive amount of canned foods. Canned vegetables, peaches, pineapples, tuna, oranges, pears, corn etc. But really, all of that tastes great and its so cheap I'm amazed at how much I don't need to spend on food. It's not that we're poor, we've just become a lot more economically conscious which is a good thing.
On a small, completely unrelated note, I can't understand why looking ridiculous became fashionable. I saw a girl today with the largest bug eye sun glasses I've ever seen. You know who else enjoyed an outlandishly large pair of glasses from time to time...Pee Wee Herman. You got your ugs...they are called ugs. And you got girls wearing giant rainbow colored galoshes when it rains. Its almost impressive.
I've been thinking about a few different ridiculously bizarre styles that I can try to start myself. Maybe sleeveless polos, Ninja turtle masks, and my favorite, casual wear footie pajamas. The day to day routine of dressing sucks. Put on your pants, find a clean (matching) pair of socks, and then put on your shoes (not to mention, lace them up). With footie pajamas its a one and done deal. Slip em on and out the door. But seriously, I almost stopped the girl to ask her if she thought she looked good wearing those sun glasses, but thankfully God bestowed me with an extra helping of chivalry.

dudes - u guys start up the Ninja Turtle mask fashion, I'm right with you. Nothing like reliving my childhood!
And props to you for what you are doing. I gotta hand it to you guys - I didn't know how long you were gonna last doing this. Much more than I myself could do. Proud of you two, also, with being more economically smart, as you put it. Most times we have too much anyways - and I believe it's the desire of God's heart for us to live on less...as you two are doing with your food choices.
If you guys need anything, let me know! Even if it's a weekend away from the car - I have some pull out beds and a spare bedroom if you want to get out of the car and into a house for a night or two. Don't hesitate to call!
Any chance you guys are keeping track of what you're spending? When you sit down to write a book, it'd be good to compare what it cost you for this semester vs last semester or what it would have cost for the "average" student.
