Afternoon Everyone
Just got home after dropping Michael off at THE PALACE (assisted living facility for the very well off) where he does community service. Lauren and I had about 2 hours to kill before I had to drop her off to work on a group project so I decided to see if I could get in to the computer store, COMPUSA, found a spot right in front and wasn't anywhere near as bad as I thought it was going to be. Looked at the COMPAQ that I was going to buy a few weeks ago, Mgr. said he's honor the price, then tells me that the price is up, yadda, yadda, yadda and more BS but then tells me he could give it to me for another $81 (plus more tax of course) more. Told him I'd decide and let him know. Then went to see if Circuit City right down the street would be just as easy to get in to, which it was. They had a HP computer on sale that I went to see, not that I know anything at all about computers except how to wipe off the entire hard drive-TWICE, and to get on them. Anyhow, called DM and she met us there, since it's her gift to us and we ended up buying the HP. Actually, there was only a few dollar price difference after they give you a $100 gift card to use later, which my DM used to get a monitor for my DS, so, even though it's not out of the box yet (I'll look for a couple weeks, just to make sure this is what we want), we will have a new computer come the New Year
And, then I saw an ad for BEST BUY for the COMPACT FLASH that my digital camera, which hasn't even been out of the box and that I got for Xmas last year, but vow to start using. They had the 128mb cards on sale for $29.99, so I ran back in to CC and asked if they'd honor it, which the guy tells me "YES". THEN I see that they have a $20 rebate! He hesitantly rung up the 3 that I bought seperately so I could get a $20 rebate on each one (limit one per household), so I will end up paying $9.99 plus whatever tax. Considering these are $69.99, I don't think I did too bad
Dropped by the HFS to pick up an item or two, dropped by SB to say "HI" to ELI and then came home. Didn't want to drive around with the computer in the car, there's been too many thefts and theives are looking for goodies in the cars today. May go back out a little later, there's a couple things I need to see if they have at Target. Was not as bad as I thought it would be out there-thankfully so!
ROSALIE, glad to hear you had a good night's sleep last night. Hope I can say that one day soon myself, don't know what's gotten in to me lately that I keep waking up at these ridiculous hours!
I'm surprised the stores don't open earlier there, down here stores were opening at 5am, but most at 6am with people waiting in lines to get in a and spend, spend, spend. Hope you had a good shopping day! Yes, it was hard to resist those cookies, but I did
I can have them another time, just not right now, I really would like to get back in to my cushion area, and besides, I really was okay with eating the PP I made. I too won't bother with canne cranberry sauce again, less than 10 minutes and it's done AND it's eay, not to mention delicious as well!
MONET, THANKS SO MUCH for the e-card, that was so sweet of you to send it!!!
Okay, so what's Yorkshire pudding. I learned about SPOTTED DICK from ROSALIE one year, now you can explain YP to me! I took your lead and also had a 2oz piece of the pie after lunch-YUMMY!
COUNTRY, girl, whine all you want! Remember, us women are proud members of the PISS & MOAN CLUB year round! I think there will be other whiners as well, you can just lead the group
GLORY, woooo girl! Sounds like a night of passion is in store tomorrow!
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!! Go enjoy yourselves!!! You deserve it! Glad to hear TG went well at your Mom's. Just stay strong and remember that you and your feelings are #1! If you don't stop this now it will never stop and like my GM has done, is now starting with Lauren, which I won't allow in front of me. She's tried saying things behind her back to my parents and I hear from my DM that my Dad land blasted her. Like I said, it's her loss, not mine! Sad to say, for her, but when she leaves this world, of course, it will be a loss, but I won't feel anything as near as I would if she had treated me with some dignity and respect-again, her loss, not mine!!! See, she's the kind of person who you'd think the last living breath out of her would be about someone's weight! Said, but probably true!
BOB, are you going to be around this weekend, thought I'd give you a buzz if you will, LMK! I don't think I've heard of any of those movies that you've mentioned, are they older ones? My Aunt made eggs and forgot them, went in to town, came back to find eggs all over the ceiling and the house stinking!!!!! Hope SKEETER ran for cover!!! LOL!!
SEF, thanks for posting the FF! I sent two of them off to my DM. Okay, excuse my stupidity and laziness for not looking it up, but is rutabaga a fruit or a veggie? That's one I've never had before!
Okay, well, I'm going to go. I have to p/u Lauren at 4pm, so I may go kill an hour somewhere along the way. Will check in later this evening with you all.
