Good evening, everyone!
My stove recently decided that its control panel would no longer cooperate with the rest of the stove. The replacement cost of the control panel itself is nearly the cost of a new stove, so Amanda and I spent a little bit of time looking at new stoves on Saturday.
We took this photo outside of the Brick just before looking inside. As you can probably tell from the photo, the weather at the time was amazing. It was sunny, clear, and warm, and I'm *very* happy that we'll shortly be taking photos of the two of that won't always contain heavy jackets and hoodies.
The shirt I'm wearing is officially my new favorite shirt. I have a yellow/brown shirt which is laid out the same way, but it's starting to get pretty old. So a month or so ago when Amanda and I were in Mark's Work Wearhouse, she pointed out this shirt and commented that it was a variant of my favorite shirt. I agreed, found one that would fit me, and it quickly leapt to the top of my clothing preference list.
As for the stove, we saw a few that would do the trick for me. I'll wait a few weeks for my income tax refund to come in, and then we'll go stove shopping for real!
This is the final photo Amanda and I took together on January 29, 2012. We were on our way into Mark's Work Wearhouse when we paused for this photo.
Amanda needed some new steel toed boots for work, and we headed in looking for some. We both thought the pink steel toed boots for women were ridiculous. They may be just as functional as the others, but they made us (well, me anyway) think of women who play at working in a job requiring them. Amanda ended up with some black boots with a pink logo, which were quite a bit better.
On the way out, Amanda noticed a sale in the men's area, and we wandered over. Neither of us liked the blue sweater I tried on, but Amanda found a variant of my favourite t-shirt for sale! Instead of a yellow torso with medium brown sleeves, it's got a light brown/tan torso with darker brown sleeves. It was *right* up my alley, and I bought it.
That's it for photos from the weekend of the 29th, so I'll carry on with the few photos we took this weekend later on this week. We tried to have someone take a few photos of us so we'd have a few to post that aren't at arm's length, but the attempt sadly failed. So stay tuned for more photos taken by my right hand!
