We are so broke. I'm looking at our bank statement online, and it's not pretty. Thanks to the baby, our expenses are going to be huge these few months. I'm sure it will continue to expand. Anyone want to donate to the first time parents fund?
I put in my usual 12 hours work yesterday with only 1 hour of sleep the night before. That's what happen when you have too much diet mountain dew. I need to switch to caffeine free. Needless to say, it didn't take long for me to fall asleep tonight. The problem is I woke up 4 hours later. That's why I'm up blogging at 3 in the morning. At least that's 4 times longer than I slept last night.
Does anyone hate Walmart as much as I do? I don't usually shop at Walmart unless it's for special occasion like when I need to get a gag gift for a white elephant gift exchange. So yesterday I wanted to make chili, and I needed to get a dutch oven. I didn't want to commit to an expensive Le Creuset since I didn't know how often I will be using it. After searching online for a bit, I found this nice reasonably priced one at Walmart. I went to store and they were out. When I asked one of the Walmart "friendly" employee that's stocking nearby if she could find out if another Walmart had it. She hesitated for a second and said she would have to walk to the jewelry counter to call. I could sense that she found my request troublesome. From what I saw, the jewelry counter was only 15 feet away, so I said okay. When we got the counter, she asked this other lady to make the call. I didn't think it would be a problem since they seemed to be having a slow day at the jewelry counter. This lady was even more put off by it. She leaned over the counter with an annoyed face, and she was biting her nails the whole time we were waiting for the other store to pick up. I finally had enough and told them to forget about it. There's no smiley face there. I ended up going to Bath Bed & Beyond and got a Caphalon one like this one.

Yes, it costed me four times more, but the purchase was much more pleasant.
Oh, looks like I have time to get one more hour of sleep before I start my 12 hours work day.
