I think I forgot to mention here – I got a call yesterday from my bank that I had won their weekly contest. The prize was a $20 gift card to Shaws (where the bank is located). How cool is that??! I mean, I was suspect when she asked if I wanted to sign up for the drawing, you figure it’s like those forms where you sign up to win replacement windows and basically all you’re doing is signing yourself up for mailing list and telemarketer hell. (You all knew that, right? Don’t sign up for drawings at the home show either.)
So I picked up the gift card this morning and immediately used it. I did buy some stuff I would have bought anyway, pasta (on sale), Barqs (on sale), chicken nuggets (not on sale). But I did treat myself to a couple of things I wouldn’t have bought normally. Is that bad? I got some Ragu Alfredo sauce, Mint Skittles and a bag of Cheetohs. I don’t think I’ll be eating them all at once, before you jump to conclusions.
