Day 152

Friday - 
Started off my day with a good, long talk on skype with Wade. It was wonderful. I think we actually talked for almost 80 minutes! It was great. 
Then I was off for my bargain shopping. I went through coupons and ads. First I saved 50% at Kroger. My final bill started at around $280 dollars, but with sales, promotions, and coupons - I got it down to $140 dollars. Plus I got a coupon for $5.00 off my next shopping trip. My stock up items included dry dog food, tide detergent, razors (for Wade). I bought me a package of fig bars (my indulgence - and remember that for later). I brought all that home and put it away. Had lunch and 3 of the fig bars (remember that for later). Okay, then I planned a trip to Rite Aid. There my bill came to $150 dollars, but I got it down to $100. A 33% reduction. I got toilet paper, more razors, body wash, dish soap. And there I got coupons worth $15 on my next shopping trip. Gotta love it!! 
When I came home from Rite Aid - I noticed my Speedway coffee cup on the floor and coffee spilled. Not a big deal - I thought. Cat must have gotten up there and batted it down. He occasionally does that with cups, pens, bottle caps. So I went to the back door to let the dogs out and ......... "crinkle - crinkle". Something was on the floor - I couldn't see what it was, but it crinkled....... hmmmmmmmmmm - so I bent down to see what it was and.......... ruh-roh........ a clear plastic tray. Where had I seen that before?? A clear plastic tray - a clear plastic tray - A CLEAR PLASTIC TRAY that used to hold a whole package of fig bars minus three!!!! Oh my gosh, while I was gone, my three skinny dogs had a fig bar party - I mostly blame Angel. And when I bent down to pick it up - Angel blamed herself too. She ducked her head down and couldn't even look at me. She knew!!!!! My fault for not putting it away properly - but I am now bracing for the effects of a whole package of figs and sugar. That's gonna be lovely!!! She still is apologizing at me with her eyes tonight. 
I had only Jaide for dinner and movie tonight. And I learned a new math equation:
pizza + "Diary of a Wimpy Kid - Rodrick Rules" + recliner + grandma = nap. 
I slept through some of that movie, but I watched the beginning and the ending - so I'll just try to imagine what the middle involved. After that movie, we watched "Soul Surfer". That was a really, really great movie. I stayed awake through the whole thing. A good day and a good evening. Sure wish I had a couple of fig bars to top off the night.
