Hi girls! Welll, the forecast snow and sleet hasn't materialized, at least not yet, but thre's a light drizzle. Call me crazy, but I'm thinking of tossing a heavy coat over my PJs andn taking the dogs to Sonic - it's less than a mile away, and they have 50¢ corn dogs today. My reasoning is, they adore drive-thrus, and I'm only going to have Angelica for a little while longer...I want her to have only good memories of her life with me.
I did get my free dinner last night - chicken parm. It's not as good as that at my favoite Italian retaurant, but you can't argue with free, and they do have those incredible, butter-drenched garlic knots. There must have been a new sous chef, as the salad was poor - big chunks of lettuce that he didn't bother cutting up, and also I just realized there's usually chopped garlic on the rolls, but there wasn't any on them last night. There were two screamnig little darlings at the next table though... (sigh) Why do people take little kids to nice restaurants and ruin the meal for everyone there? My friend gave me a couple of coloring books and colored pencils, and afterwards I went to Firehouse Subs; I have a meaball sub in the refrigerator for tonight's dinner.
I have to check my "junk" email addys - I should have some coupons for free meals at Captain D's and maybe some other places, and they're generally good for a month - it's just those two places that the free food is only ON your birthday.
Rosa, a crock pot meal sounds good - what kind is it?
Snicks, I'm getting to where I need a haircut badly as well, but don't have the extra $50 or so right now. My girl moved to another salon, and from the looks of it, it's even more pricey...but she does sch a good job that it looks nice for months and thus is cheper in the long run. I don't go out much in the winter anyway, so I'm not going to worry about it.
Jean, when I first read you had an "accidnet" I was afraid it was with your new car; glad it's just your toe - not "glad", but you know what I mean.... I have a Sun Joe electric lawn mower and I love it; hopefully you'll be as pleased with your blower.
Bernie, I was reading there's a gas war in Houghton Lake, MI - it's down to 47¢ a gallon! Last night I drove around for a little while (enjoying the heat in the car) and the cheapest i saw here was $1.42.
LindaL, glad you have the prospect of some free time in your future. I'm praing for you and twinny.
Well, I iguess I'd better bite the bullet, take the dogs for their outing, then I'm going to spend the evening in bed with my fleece sheets and blanket, warm comforter, new cozy series I started reading, and my tablet - I think there's a new episode of "Criminal Minds" to watch on it tnight. I also have a nice supply of snacks... I had ordered some used books from an author whom I recently discovered and like - just 1¢ each on Amazon - and they came in two packages of two books each. Two were the correct ones from the series, and the other package contained Dante's "Inferno" and a Spanish children's book. (sigh) So, another mess to straighten out.
Oh, I have 1/3 of the money I need for the new HVAC system; please pray the rest comes in SOON - thanks.
Have a blessed evening, everyone!
