Current Notes : The second peg-foot doll steps into my little world !
Score ! On a quick run to
the local grocer’s, I found Velveeta Hamburger Helper-style boxed dinners on
markdown, 2 / $1. For that price, I’d try them. But each box had a $1. off
coupon…they weren’t expired, either. Would they work ? No big deal if they
didn’t, after all, 50c a box for mac n cheese isn’t bad. But they did ! My six
boxes cost three bucks, but six dollars came off my total. They paid me to take
them ! It was all I could do to not go back for more. Decided it was only fair
to let others have a score, too, and six really was about the most I was likely
to use. They’ll make great lunches for Dearest Son and me, as Beloved Hubby
doesn’t really like that stuff.
Otherwise, today was
actually kind of disappointing. Went on a short doll hunt, and found absolutely
nothing new – neither of the Black Carpet
lines, nor the Ghoul Spirit, the Scare-mester, or Art Class. All I saw was endless 13 Wishes and the occasional leftover Skultimate Roller Maze and Swim
Class. Lotsa Die-ners, too. And everything
was full price. Ah, well. Maybe next week.
As a sort of consolation –
because I really was geared up to get my Clawdia/Honey today – I bought My Little Pony Equestria Girls Pinkie Pie’s
Boutique. Whew. I confess, I’d been peeping in on her occasionally, but I
really didn’t have intentions to buy her… but what can I say, pink and black
and glitter. Ya’ll know I’m a sucker for 80s stuff…
As if my disappointment was
a harbinger, we weren’t home a half hour before everything went to the nethers.
The behaviors and attitudes that made me long to escape this house years ago roared
back with reinforcements today. The money we’d put aside got spent on…something
we were assured was paid months ago. In truth, it hadn’t been paid in months,
and that bundle of registered mail proved it. To say the house has been tense is
an understatement. To say the mood is visible from space is only a slight
exaggeration. And I have no idea how we’ll cover that hole Beloved punched into
the wall. It’s huge.
Oh, and we didn’t get what
we were saving for today. Down payment for Beloved’s new-to-him truck, which
would give me the 4Runner to use. Not happening now. I’m so mad, I could punch
a fool in the face.
