We went to apply for Food Stamps today; it turned out fine- and didn't take nearly as long as we thought it was going to.
Train's getting a card on Friday with $30 on it (because it's already the end of the month pretty much) but from next month onwards he'll be getting $176 a month to spend on food :)
They're also going to send him to this thing which is like a career helping person or something, to help him get a job.
After that we found this little cafe near by which was set up inside an old church. They made really good hot chocolates :) And- it's a not-for-profit place, so there's no tax on it!
We also organised to look at the bed tomorrow, we're going to bus to the place and take a look sometime around 3pm I think.
At the moment, it's -8C outside and snowing- we almost froze walking 3 blocks to the cafe today- I don't think I'm going to be able to walk 4.5 miles to the goodwill, although I think I may have been to that one before :) It's pretty big in there and we managed to find a few things- but we still need to get our hands on a sewing machine so we can fix them up.
I'll definitely check out the CAMP place, there are a couple of other cool stores on Cherokee, as well as the Black Bear Bakery so next time we're around that way we'll have a look out for it :)!
Train and I have just finished watching Das Experiment which is a german thriller movie. I'm not going to try and explain it, because I'm not good at that, but the above link goes to imdb :)

It's really good, and sort of scary, but in an awesome way :D
Not sure what the plans are for tomorrow, but we're definitely heading to look at the bed, and sometime in the very near future I need to buy stamps to send those postcards I bought awhile ago. We're also planning to go and see the arch, city museum, science center, have a surprise party for our friend Booker, have a birthday party for B and Train and hang out with Kyle and Nate (who we met at New Years) Busy busy busy.
The forecast is snow and -10C for the next 3 days :/
I like snow and all, but it's not enough to build snowmen with, unless I make a tiny one, and it's just cold; but! it's nice and powdery snow- not like the slushy stuff we usually get in NZ.
Miss 5 from across the hall has sent us a note inviting us to come and watch a movie with her and Mr 5 sometime, to say thank you for the cookies we made her the other week. She had made us some in return, but Mr 5 got to them before she had a chance to give them to us. They're very nice people. :)
