Free meat has become a weekend highlight....
Sunday: I caught the local Stop & Shop in a mistake at the register that equaled a free pot roast. It was a $12.53 hunk of beef. With my savings card, it was marked down to $6.45. Nice deal, huh? Well, as I was checking my receipt on the way out of the store... Eeeek. Full price! So, I marched my little self back into the store, and politely showed my roast and my receipt to the beleaguered cashier at customer service. She proceeded to refund me the entire cost of the roast because it was their system error. Cool!
Of course, I do have to face the fact that getting free meat has become a weekend highlight....
Other highlights included catching up on a month's laundry, cleaning up and seeding the front yard, planting a hydrangea, my Saturday morning trip to the dog park with Maurice, and dinner at the local teppanyaki joint. Oh! and I made three nights worth of dinners yesterday afternoon. Way to make my own life easier :)
In home improvement news, Mark spent the rainy days trimming out the doorways and window in the LR, and sanding the filled nailholes in the DR. Painting time is coming! I bought a color sample of the color I like and put up a square on the wall. It's gonna rock!
On the kid front, turns out O was cutting his first molar last week; thus all the crabbing around... We all feel terrible that we didn't notice, but molars are way the heck back there, and he's also cutting a front tooth, so we figured it was that. Bad parents/caregivers! This morning he headed off to his music playgroup with his Nana, and is now back and having a tremendous buffet-style snack (raisins, cheerios, pineapple, watermelon, and leftover foccacia). Cutting teeth is hungry work. He could stand to bulk up a little, so I'm encouraging all this (relatively) healthy snackage.
As for me, I got back to my C25K routine. Details here. I've also kept up with the majority of my FLYlady reminders, and the house is starting to look pretty good. Mark's concerned about impending Housekeeping OCD. He might not be wrong...
