What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?

[Aramonde]

- I'm off until Thursday!

[BoneSnapDeez]

I have relatives staying here until the 29th.

My parents are visiting and will be departing on the 26th. I'm really excited as they're nothing but fun.

But by "relatives" I doubt you mean your parents.

Yeah - in-laws and some random relatives of said in-laws...

I find the lot of them to be quite irritating. Though I'm mostly concerned about my daughter. She has a lot of anxiety and does best on a regimented schedule. Strangers stress her out and then her whole day goes down the tubes. She was up all night crying.

My grandmother has the perfect solution to your problem, Bone.

Whenever the family comes to visit her, there's lots of chores to do. Leaves need to get raked; gutters need to be cleared; walls need to be painted; something broken needs to be fixed; dishes need to be washed; floors need to be swept.

Somehow we never seem to stay more than four or five days. Go figure.

Smile: Sometimes I feel like the big guy is looking out for me.

For some odd reason I thought a Hobby Lobby opened up in my city. Nope. Turns out it's an AC Moore, which doesn't have the gift I had planned on buying for my Mother. I totally pulled a boner by waiting to the last minute.

I open up the "junk drawer" (we all have one in our kitchen don't we?) and lo and behold there is a coupon for Jo-Ann's fabrics, face up as if it was staring at me. I called my local Jo-Anns, and sure enough they have not only jelly roll strips, but jelly roll quilt books as well. Plus, they're running a 50% off total purchase, so it is a win win.

Also called my local shop to see if a friend of mine had anything in his folder (for those who don't purchase comics, "local shop" = comic book store, and "folder" = a hold list). Turns out he has both a Jay and Silent Bob action figure(s) on hold that I'll pick up for him today. I won't be able to get them signed until 2014, but I should be able to manage getting K.S to sign both action figure boxes.

: Went snowboarding for the first time, ate food I've never had before.

: Sprained my right wrist while snowboarding, and nearly twisted my right knee.

wait a few more hours until you get sick from the food too.

moral: don't try new things

Yeah actually I am feeling sick now.

Woo-hoo!

Bought a sixteen pound fresh Turkey for only $10.00usd. With a kind smile I told the meat manager, "This is advertised as fresh, *thumps turkey* but this isn't close to being fully thawed. Anyway you could sell this to me at the frozen price?". That saved me around twenty bucks. I also had a coupon for Butterball Premium turkeys, and an in-store coupon, so I paid a little over sixty cents a pound.

Not too shabby.

I wish turkey only cost...a...nickel.
