I'm sooooo poor
Being an outdoor enthusiast is the devil's secret method for keeping you poor. No really. You can see his tell tale signs b/c he occasionally calls outdoors areas "Devil's XXXXX" or "El DIABLO!". Yes. Just trust me on this.
I went to REI AND Road Runner sports tonight. Bad idea for my credit card.
I've been wanting to run so first stop - Road Runner sports. For those of you who don't know, I have flat, wide feet. If I had webbed toes, I'd have perfect paddles for the water. I could be lashed down to the backs of rafts or kayaks and be paid $15/ hr plus food to paddle people around La Jolla Cove. yeah.... but I digress. Anyways, I b/c of this, buying shoes is hard. Even at Road Runner Sports, they only had two options for me. Grey or Blue. I got grey.
Next stop: REI. I went backpacking in jtree a few weekends ago and decided to return my Gregory Forester pack b/c it cut into my shoulders and gave me wicked bruises. Originally, I planned on gettting something similiar (4000 cu/in for backpacking supplies for a weekend plus potential climbing gear). Instead, I ended up falling in love with the suspension system on an Arc'Teryx Bora 80. The cashier dude was cool and let me use a 20% coupon for the second time on this purchase. All said and done, I had to pay an additional 80 dollars (after the store credit from the return and 20% off) so I don't feel TOO bad. But I might edit this entry (specifically that last sentence) after I see my credit card bill.
