It's perfect for fall and winter. Life is too short not to love your dishes lol! I made the decision years ago to not wait for special occasions to use special things. If me, my hubs, and my sweet pup are together, it's already special cuz they're my family.Debby in KShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10678580135625880717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959918163454225829.post-36107843065230963502016-09-16T21:18:56.629-04:002016-09-16T21:18:56.629-04:00Our first flooring estimate was just like that, to...Our first flooring estimate was just like that, too. So frustrating. I actually turned and kind of stomped out of Lowes because the estimate was so ridiculous.<br /><br />Bought a new twin mattress on a one day sale from Amazon and they will deliver it. It is replacing a very worn out one in one of the guest rooms. Saved a bunch on my favorite Teva sandals at Amazon since summer is over. Wearing these in the summer saves my really expensive SAS shoes for colder weather. Finally wised up and took hubby's car to the dealer for repair this week. They actually charge the same or a bit less than other mechanics in town and they can fix it right the first time. Live and learn. Hubby had comp time and got off at noon today. Went to the movies using an eTicket I got for free on Recyclebank and hubby's ticket was paid for with the remaining balance on a Regal gift card received for Christmas at work. Afterward we had side salads and free grilled chicken sandwiches for only 2.70 with McD's coupons on the app. Both of us filled up our gas tanks today when we got the news about the Colonial pipeline being shutdown. We remember all too well the shortages after Katrina. Fortunately Hubby can work from home if need be. I plan to stay at home as much as possible but I rarely go out anyway. Got a great deal on Cracker Barrel gift cards from Sam's this week, $75 in cards for $56.48. That is 25% off! The free Thursday night concert was a fun blast from the past with lots of music from our teen years. <br /><br />I made menus today for next week and my grocery list for Aldi tomorrow. I am always surprised at how short my list is but it is good to not buy what I do not need. I am bad about overbuying produce without a list. This week we had almost no food waste though and that feels good. Lanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09380649410508372279noreply@blogger.com
