we can't push back hamburger day

People say a lot of interesting things -- so I've decided that for a while, my post titles will be quotes from the general public. I don't know what Hamburger Day is, but I do know that to someone, or a lot of people, it's a really special day.

The last two days have had me shopping. Day-long shopping sprees that completely cut my weekend into little tiny bits for easy chewing. Maybe ten years ago, or when I was in high school grades nine through twelve, this would have been something fun. It is no longer fun. It is exhausting and expensive and ridiculous and I might even hate it.

I did take a moment this afternoon to practice more with my calligraphy + lettering, which is quite therapeutic. I wrote a couple of notes and then I was like, damn, I need some cute postage stamps. And then I discovered that in May? Postal rates are rising again! Ugh.

This coming week might suck the life right out of me. I will hopefully post daily to prove I am indeed still alive.

Strangely, today was Hamburger Day for us. I made my world famous chili burgers with some sour cream/wasabi mashed potatoes. Yum.
