Was mellow. We now have 1 course for dinner instead of 2. Used to be the meat course was separate. Later we did get a laugh, when my mother-in-law was getting out the fruit for dessert, she saw the salad that she forgot to serve earlier. Hey, we all make mistakes! Anyway, it is too hot to keep getting up and down for multiple courses, the evening was so hot it felt like there was a wall of heat we had to walk through.
As usual I started out shopping. ToysRUs is having a video game sale and I am addicted to video game shopping. They had a sale bin and I was able to score 3 Wii and 1 DS for $21. Did I mention we don’t have a Wii yet?
Target was fun as usual. They pay me to take products out of their store. Vanish something for the toilet had a BOGO Free coupon from the manufacturer and one from Target. I used both and I got 2 for free. And then I did it 3 more times. And then I am sending in for 2 x $5 rebates from SC Johnson (don’t tell them it is my 8th and 9th request, 3 per household, I am on my 9th household!)
Next was Waldbaum’s where I totally embarrassed myself, had to have the manager come over, etc. I told her I would voluntarily not return but she said it was OK, come back whenever you like. My in-laws think she was placating me and didn’t mean it, but I saw her smile! She does want me back! My father-in-law insists the coupon police will catch up to me one day, VERY soon. But, alas, I am way too wily, my Grandma Sophie taught me too well!
