Notes: And one day, I'll get to actually see this movie, not just watch it !
Up at 5am, couldn’t sleep.
Was supposed to wake up at 6, so I hopped up and started the day early. Got to
Mal-Wart for socks, milk, and a copy of Frozen
for today’s Homeschool viewing party. Had the set that came with an Infinity Elsa figurine in my hot little
paws, and it was only $6. more than the regular DVD, the only one the store
had, and I would have gone for it. But it was Blu-Ray only, and I just couldn’t
convince m’self that the digital version would play just as well for the party.
So I reluctantly put it down and got the basic $16. straight DVD. Ah, well.
That’s six bux I can put towards an Elsa doll later, the one I want, when I see
her.
I dawdled a bit, failed to
find Slo Mo this time either (no surprise), and consoled m’self with three new
99¢ fat quarters. It was that or a loaf of rye bread, and the only reason the
fabric won is because they had some pretty new pieces that would look great as
a dress for Tiana (who I’m starting to call ‘Tia’), and I wanted some roast
beef, too. Maybe next time, rye bread.
The movie viewing went very
well – in fact, I think some attendees weren’t members of the Homeschool group
! But it’s not like it matters. I still brought home Capri Suns, two unopened
boxes. Beloved and I spent more time talking with friends and new folks than we
did watching the movie. The coloring sheets were a big hit, too. I printed
about 40, and they vanished quickly. I mean, we usually only have about five or
six kids at these events – I figured I’d have to ask people to take the
leftover sheets home. The markers and crayons vanished too, but they were parts
of 25¢ thrift store grab bags, so I’m fine with it.
Everyone had a good time,
and I couldn’t wait to watch the movie again once we were home. Too bad I fell
asleep on the sofa ! Oh, well, maybe tomorrow.
Last time I was at our local
Mal-Wart Neighborhood Market (smaller version, pharmacy, deli, bakery, but
otherwise groceries instead of merchandise), I put aside my pride just a bit
and asked when the rotisserie chickens go on half-off markdown. I was told 8pm,
and reassured that it was a fairly frequent question. Well, by the time we were
ready for chow tonight, no one was in the mood to cook, but low funds remained
an issue. So I went out, hoping to snag a discount lemon pepper bird. Score !
So. delicious. We only ate half of it, so guess what Dearest Son and I get for
lunch tomorrow ? Yaaay !
I am sooo sleepy. But I’m
pretty much home tomorrow, so I’m gonna get my housework done. I gotta earn my
take-out rotisserie dinners and doll inspirations, ya know !
