Some Better News

I feel like I've been whining as of late. Warranted or not, I hate feeling like a pity party waiting to happen at a moment's notice. So...here are some good things:

Two days ago, my friend Amanda asked if we'd like to have a double date on Tuesday (tomorrow) night. She was making reservations at Maggiano's...a fine dining italian restaurant in downtown Nashville that we've been wanting to try. We've never been to Maggiano's although we've talked about it all the time. Amanda mentioned that they're getting an employee discount, plus have a gift card to throw into the mix, so all of us will be eating some fabulous food for dirt cheap. (FINALLY...caviar tastes and beer budgets can co-exist!)

So, we found babysitters and made plans. Amanda later mentioned that Tuesday is her and Jason's anniversary. We feel so honored that they included us in their special day. They really didn't have to do that, but it's still sweet just the same.

I can't believe that I get to get dressed up (make-up, hair, dress and all) twice in two weeks. What luck!

Today, I made a trip to Publix. Publix...ohhh, how I love thee. I am literally in there three times a week. They know I have a coupon fettish. They know I can't help myself. Yet they still carry out my groceries. Oftentimes I will have a coupon for every item I purchase there, and they are so incredibly nice about it. Today I bought $85 worth of stuff for $16. That includes some FREE formula for when That Day finally comes. (I've bought $96 in Enfamil formula there in the past week for a total of $10 out of pocket cost. ) It also includes 6 boxes of GoGurts, some milk, lots of free Nesquik milk, Oreo cookies, some chicken, and granola bars. I LOVE PUBLIX!
