20 days to go! Long weekend!!!!!!!

April 23rd, 2005 at 06:37 am

Today was not fun at school. All of the kids were in rare form - even a couple of my normally well behaved little girls were being hard to deal with. Then again, maybe it was due to my lack of sleep last night.

You see, last night after I had posted here, and was throughly enjoying the new CSI, and anticipating the new ER, I received a phone call. Normally, especially since I don't have a TIVO (drooling at the mouth for wishing I had one) I don't answer the phone during programs I WANT to watch (i.e. Lost). But, I am glad that I did last night. It was my roommate from college (freshman and sophmore years) whom I consider to be one of my best friends. I'd sent her an email asking her if she could play her harp in my mom's wedding. The short answer on that is, probably not likely. Oy vey! Her life these past few months has just been awful. Talk about thinking you have it bad, but always being able to find someone else who has it worse. She's someone who CANNOT handle stress very well. Her situation probably in a way is similar to my life recently, she just handlles things by freaking out, wheras, I tend to eat. We talked for probably a good three hours or more.

I didn't get the item that had sold yesterday shipped today, because when I got home, my dad was here and he was in a "needy" mood. To top things off, he'd done an extremely stupid thing (parked in a handicapped space w/o proper permit) and had gotten ticketed for it. I VERY badly wanted to say something, and unfortunately, did let it slip out after he found out how much the ticket would cost him "Was parking in the handicap space worth $257???" He wasn't very happy with me right then. Later on we went out to Jason's Deli. He got the broccoli cheese soup, and actually complained to the manager guy that it wasn't hot enough for him (after having gone back and had the kitchen microwave it for him). The manager was very apologetic and everything, but I can just imagine him rolling his eyes as soon as he left us.

Once my dad left for the weekend, I was able to get to Albertsons, although much later in the day than I would have liked to have done. I think I did pretty well. Not quite as much stuff as I got last time, but it is all stuff I'll actually use. Some of the things I got coupons for from Ebay were not a very good deal, so I didn't use them. One coupon though that I used 11 of (bought 10, had 1) was the one for Nancy's Quiche. It was a $.65/1 coupon, tripled to $1.95. The Quiche was $2.49, which made them each $.54. Those coupons alone took off over $21 from my entire order. Smile Smile I also was kicking myself for having used my Green Giant coupons last time - I think they'd still have been good today - GG was on sale 3/$4 which would have made the price after tripled cpn for $.60/3 VERY good. Oh well, who would've known??

Now, the reason I mentioned getting to Albertson's later than I wanted to. Tonight there was a program I had wanted to attend which started at 7:30. I wasn't quite sure exactly how to get there, and wanted to leave by 7 p.m. I ended up getting back from Albertsons at just a little after 7 p.m. I rushed around like a Banshee putting stuff away, and trying to make myself look presentable. Then tried to get better directions. By this time though it was almost 7:20, and the directions I got said to expect at least a 20 minute drive. So, after all that, I decided to just forget it and stay home and relax. Which, is what I did. Smile

Now it is quite late, and I really should be getting to bed. I spend entirely too much time on the computer!!
Oh, my Ebay auctions are doing well - at least two of the five have bids - one of them has 5 bids!! Ya hoo! All the more money to put in my "Take this job and shove it" account. Smile Smile

Almost forgot to add - two emails I got today. 1) Email from singles website with the extremely rude person - apparantlly someone else reported him to the site, and he's been banned! 2) Email from my high-school best friend - she found me on classmates.com !!!!! I guess she had been looking for me too! Smile

Spending Log:
Albertsons: $28.37 (saved $63.02) I love coupons! Smile

Keeping It Frugal in Texas,
