Learning to be an Adult

Now that I'm all graduated I had to start doing grown up things like paying for my own car insurance. I spent many a night trying to decide what company to go with. I finally decided to go with Progressive since they seemed to be the cheapest. Fortunately, my car is old. Now I have to register it in New Mexico. It's a lot cheaper than Colorado, so that is a plus. At least they have a license plate option other than the yellow plate. I might not be able to handle that. I also have the health insurance stuff that I have to pay for. Being an adult is fun!

I wrote two posts in one day. I hope that satisfies some people.

Life in the LC

I've now been a Las Cruces resident for 5 whole days. So far it's pretty good. My only major complaint is the lack of a suitable grocery store. The only major ones are Albertsons (too expensive) and Wal-Mart (need I say more?). I do miss my low stress shopping trips to King Soopers at 8:00 on Friday or Saturday night. It's not as hot as one might think either. At least it doesn't seem too bad.

Work is dandy so far. I've mostly just been doing computer training, which is less than thrilling, but I've done other stuff as well. Next week I have to start doing 12 hour shifts. That should make for a long day, but on the upside means I have 4 days off.

LC seems to have just about everything you could want (grocery stores excepted). I think it is probably one of the few places in the US where the number of Kmarts (2) is more than the number of Targets (1) and equal to the number of Wal-Marts.
