Some days I leave work needing to go to the bathroom. Part of me thinks that if I do this I will get home faster because I NEED to get home faster.
It crossed my mind the other day that if the subway broke down I would be in quite the predicament.
I probably will not modify my behavior. Not all my decisions are stellar but in the MTA I trust.

Shirt Exchange
How much is an hour and a half of sleep worth?
$50 in Lacoste store credit and 2 frisbees for Danny.
Priceless for Jennifer. Which is why I passed on arriving at this event before 8am and opted to participate during my lunch hour. 
If you see Danny and I in matching Lacoste polos don't assume we are living large. Instead we spent a combined 4 hours waiting in line for discount croc collars.
We survive on slick deals.

Cotton Anniversary
If I could make a livin' out of lovin' you
I'd be a millionaire in a week or two
I'd be doin' what I love and lovin' what I do
If I could make a livin' out of lovin' you
Early every morning when the sun comes up
I'm punching that clock on the wall
Breakin' my back just to make a buck
Wishing I was in your arms
If I could make a livin' out of lovin' you
I'd be a millionaire in a week or two
I'd be doin' what I love and lovin' what I do
If I could make a livin' out of lovin' you
I could work all day and feel right at home
Lovin' that 8 to 5
And never have to leave you here alone
When I'm workin' overtime
If I could make a livin' out of lovin' you
I'd be a millionaire in a week or two
I'd be doin' what I love and lovin' what I do

I Owe Explanations
Most mattresses need to be rotated to achieve their maximum usable life. Rather than follow this recommendation the conventional way, every couple of months Danny and I rotate ourselves. We are currently slumbering with our heads at the foot of the bed and I imagine at the end of the summer we will revert to sleeping the correct way. This causes some issues with waking up on the wrong side of the bed, but the benefit for rotating ourselves is three-fold:
1) Our mattress will last longer. We of course want our mattress to last forever. That purchase was like buying a small car.
2) In order to watch TV from our bed we have to lie with our heads at the foot. This makes summer-time one big sleepover with many late night Law and Order episodes.
3) In the summer-time the person with their head closest to the window is about 2 inches away from the air conditioner. This is the true reason we rotate because no one wants ice cold cheeks even if it is 100 degrees outside.

Sidewalk Shopping
Window Shopping is a little old school and to be honest, fruitless. What do you really get out of it besides tired feet and deep jealously for things you don't have? I personally prefer sidewalk shopping - also a great way for "economical" folk to pass the time and obtain what they need (or don't need). One well kept secret about the fine city we live in is a similar sport called sidewalk shopping.
For the suburban folk, think of it as a yard sale without the price tags. Since I don't have too much time on my hands, as I walk along the streets to my daily destinations, I often find treasures on the sidewalk out on display. They are ripe for the taking as long as you snatch them before the garbage man does.
Now, it's not like I'm digging through my community dumpster, no no no. We are talking quality items that are abandoned on the sidewalk perhaps because someone moved, or upgraded, or no longer has room in their tiny apartment. I see electronics, books, baskets, couches, dishes, vases, brooms... One time I saved a microwave from it's destined doom and gave it to our friends who didn't own one.
Anyway, several times a week as I'm strolling down the street I can see a piece of furniture in the distance that I covet as a pass. I will deeply regret that round coffee table I didn't haul up to my apartment because I didn't know where I would put it. Next time I will impulse shop and live by the motto take first and figure out where it will fit later. If I lived in a two bedroom I would furnish the guest room with sidewalk shopping trips.
