NE and I went out for pizza Sunday night. I found a Groupon deal for $9 for $20 worth of food. The waitress was a little bit ... not with it. She wasn't very attentive to us, but when I got the check and was looking it over, I noticed a handwritten $1.75 on the bottom. Not even loudly, I said, "What's this $1.75?"
From across the room, waitress shouts out that it was the drink (NE's.) I figured that out almost as soon as I said it - but it being handwritten had thrown me.
(She'd forgotten to include it on our ticket at first because she thought we were getting the special which included a drink.)

I also bought a deal from Living Social which I think will be really good. It was $35 for a $200 Restaurant.com gift card. I already used $10 of it to buy a $25 gift certificate for a local fancy restaurant we're going to for my birthday. (It will be pretty easy to spend $50 there.)

There's a Steven Curtis Chapman concert here this week. I was really, really tempted to buy a ticket. $25. But ... I really didn't want to go by myself. Plus I just haven't seemed to pick up any energy - in fact I went home early from work yesterday. 
I've decided to not go.

I did some shopping on Sunday - made back around $7 between ibotta and MobiSave. Spent about $35 grocery money and $20 cat money.
I also did some cooking. I've been buying single carrots and red peppers, etc., because there've been iBotta rebates on them - so wanted to use them. 
I chopped up the zucchini, carrots, onion, broccoli, (actually put in the food processor ... 
)and then took two cans of Pilsbury's Grands and a can of Pillsubry Croissants (coupon/rebate deal) and made veggie hot pockets! Yummy!
Of course ... I still haven't gotten started on fixing the robe for the Nativity drive through that is happening on the 12th. It really shouldn't take too long to do, just have to DO it!
Other than Sunday, I haven't spent any money this week.

Hard to believe there is only one week left of my 30's. If what happened at work yesterday is any indication - my 40's won't find me being any less klutzy. (Dropped one of those big calculators and broke it completely. Offered to pay for a replacement - my boss told me not to worry about it.)

How many of you actually wear robes? I keep being given robes as gifts ... and well, I've never seen the point of them really. So ... they end up hanging around somewhere in my house for years, and then get given away. My mom is sending a robe for NE ... he isn't a robe person either.
Maybe if I was someone more into fixing up my face, etc. before getting dressed or something? Or if I had other people (other than partner) living with me?
Really, what is the purpose of a robe? Just curious really if I'm the oddball out on this one or not.

Joan - They are SO good! The croissants really work the best for packaging (like an envelope) but the biscuits work pretty well too - just be sure to pinch the edges really well (so stuff doesn't spill out.)

I have a fuzzy pink robe, it is very soft, plush, and warm. I like it.
Wouldn't NE like to go see Steven Curtis Chapman with you?
Those hot pockets sound yummy.

CB - Glad I'm not alone here.

I think I probably wear mine more in the summer when the fam is freezing me out with the A/C. Or in the morning in the winter when the house has cooled down overnight. Just an extra layer as necessary. I never get dressed unless I am actually going somewhere. I probably sleep in lighter layers overall. (In summer we don't turn on the A/C overnight). SO the simple answer is probably just to keep warm.

Those veggie hot pockets sound yummy! I never thought of making my own before. Great use of ingredients on hand!

I know my sister uses one, as their shower is in the basement and the bathroom to get ready is upstairs...near all her clothes. However, my college daughter doesn't have one...she just dries off and gets dressed right away. Then returns to her room with her dirty clothes. It's just personal preference!

I never got the fascination with robes and/or slippers until I hit my 40's. ;-) Now I love them both.
