Mon the 23rd

I was jarred out of a deep sleep by a loud crash! It sounded like glass breaking! I jumped out of bed and ran to the kitchen where Bonnie was standing over what used to be the coffee pot. She had a shocked look on her face and I asked her if she was ok. She said she was fine, she had accidentally elbowed the pot off of the counter. She ended up using a big bowl and a fork to get the coffee made... She made us a breakfast of eggs toast and sausage. After eating breakfast we started to get stuff ready for the sale this Saturday. In case I forgot to mention it, we got a table at the high school annual sale. It is this Sat from 8 till 1. We were preparing some stuff when we realized we needed some price tags. It was around noon and 75 out today so we jumped in the car to run to walmart to get some price tags and look for a coffee pot. Our coffee maker is a Cuisinart and it has to have the right pot to work. We got to walmart and found the tags, but no coffee pot. We left and headed over to kohl's because I had checked online and they were a retailer of those coffee pots. Well they had our coffee pot but no carafe only. Off we went up the road. I saw a Bed Bath and beyond on the horizon, another authorized dealer! We went in and victory was ours! There it was, but at a substantial cost...25 bucks. I could buy another coffee maker with a un-busted carafe for less than 25 bucks. Bonnie was not going for this as she loves her coffee maker. Nuts, another genius idea ruined! 25 bucks later we were off again and Bonnie wanted to go to a few Goodwill's. So we spent the rest of the day shopping. at the last one there was this little game room just up the strip mall. I couldn't spend another second looking around, so I wandered up there. It was a small gambling room. I walked up to the counter and asked, "so how does this work?" The lady asked me if I had been in there before. I said nope. She said they had a 5 for 10 deal. I give her 5 bucks and they give me 10 dollars on my card. So i gave her 5 bucks and sat down at one of the machines. She put 10 bucks on my card and told me they had a snack room and to help myself to anything in there. She then told me they serve a free dinner at 6:30. It was 5:30. I went over to the snack room and it was filled with cookies, chips, candy, coffee and a fridge filled with pop. I grabbed some cookies and a can of coke and sat back down at my machine. I played till 6, got up and went outside to have a smoke. I looked up and saw Bonnie walking my way. I explained the deal going on in there and told her I wanted the free dinner. She agreed as that way she wouldn't have to cook. We went back in and She gave her 5 bucks and started playing. she grabbed some coffee and a bag of chips. it wasn't to long and the lady said dinners ready! I watched some of the old ladies start shuffling up there so we waited till they started sitting down then we got up and walked in to see our dinner. It was a plate of rice and meatballs with some gravy and rolls. I told the lady to load me up, and she did...she gave me twice as much as she gave everybody else. LOL.
In retrospect, I think it was because I was the only man in there. We ate, I grabbed another coke and we took off for home. I still had 5 bucks on my card so I got 2 dinners, and a bunch of snacks and 3 cokes for 5 bucks. It was 7:15 when we got in the car so I had to hustle to get us home so Bonnie could get there in time to watch the bachelor on TV. That was the day and I didn't have my camera with me so I have no pictures today. I will put twice as many on tomorrow, if you can stand them. LOL See ya then!
