So it's been quite awhile since my last update, I'd love to say I've been busy but it wouldn't be true for the entire time. The good news though it means that I've got stuff done to blog about.
Item #24 (the Jeff Gordon number) Get Valet Parking.
I knew this would be an easy one, but hey, it's gosh darn convenient. On a trip to Turning Stone Casino, in which Kristen won $300 on a nickel slot, I decided to spring for the extra Lincoln in my wallet and paid for the valet parking. According to most "how to tip" websites, you should tip $3. Will someone tell all the waitresses and waiters that valets make 40-60% tips. I'll stick with the average which is $2.
So on my attempt to save a little bit of money on stuff I already buy I'm going through the Sunday paper and looking for good coupons. I have tended to use more then 1 but will only takes pics of 1 a week for proof. These are from the past 2 weeks. Dannon Yoplait yogurts and Arby's.
Item #31: Our comical target...was target!!
This is perhaps, at least to me and my sister, the funniest of items on my list. This inside joke roughly started 2-3 years ago when my wife and I were out at target shopping and we walked by the display furniture section I noticed a decent dining set. I thought out loud (as most guys do) how funny would it be to go to the snack bar, grab some food, and sit at the dining table and eat to "test eat" the furniture. Kristen however did not find this as amusing as I did, or at all for that matter. Later I recounted the story to my sister Jen who with a similar sense of humor (a good one) thought it would be funny. So X number of years later we decided we would do it the weekend before she left for college. As seen in the photos she chose the nachos with cheese and red slushie, I however went for the fruit parfait cup (gross) and lemonade. Upon getting to the furniture section (oh yea we scouted ahead of time) there was not real table to sit at so we instead opted for the porch swing set in the lawn and garden section. This seemed like a good idea till we later discovered that the mystery door there was the back stock room where employees came from. We sat and ate regardless of what people thought, we knew we were funny and would give people something to talk about later. We did have a slight fear of getting yelled at but thought whatever (mom and wife feared being arrested for some unknown reason). We did not get yelled at except for when Jen belched a very unlady-like burp which was funny till we heard an "EXCUSE ME!!" from behind us and i think we both jumped in fear of the mean looking middle aged angry manager behind us....nope we were safe just some normal middle aged lady outraged she burped without manners and then pinned the blame on me. All in all a funny little experience.
Item #86 Making Ben and Jerry richer.
For the normal price of ben and jerry's ice cream I never saw the point in buying the Vanilla flavor. Though I love vanilla I never bought this. However with the now like super small sized ones for a dollar I thought I'd give it a try. While it was in fact good, it just didn't wow me that much.
So that means to date I've got 3 items done, and have started on 3 others. According to the averages, I should be done with 5 so I'm a little bit behind. Also I've really sorta started on 4 as I've started getting my cookbook in order and worked on in my mind for a theme. Now just to get it on paper...err computer files really I guess. Till next time!!
