I just saved $22 at the grocery store. I would have saved an additional $.70 if I hadn’t stood there like an idiot with a coupon in my hand instead of handing it over. I didn’t even buy anything that wasn’t on my list so that’s a savings of $22 on regular stuff we always buy.
Our work holiday party was today and I ate some awesome Little Smokies, meatballs and BBQ with some vegetables thrown on the plate so it wasn’t all Meat, Meat, Meat. There was also some sort of jello salad that I can only describe as red with a cream cheese/cool whip top. I have no idea what fruit was supposed to be in that thing but it rocked the casbah. I guess its sweetness helped lighten up the meat, meat, meat. I also managed to escape before the “singin’ and clappin’ man what the hell happened” started and I missed getting yet another ugly logo-ed lunch bag.
The better-half and I went to a Christmas party on Saturday night at a grad school classmate’s house. The gathering was small but the folks were friendly. At one point we were holed up in my friend’s office watching digital stories and I think an hour passed while we were in there. Excellent conversation, skulls on bookshelves and good company will make the time fly.
