Small joys

Yesterday, Nick and I joined in for a little birthday celebration for this guy. We went to a place in town called P. Wexford's. The food is amazing! I had only ever been there during the lunch hours so I didn't think it was ever crowded. Boy, I couldn't have been more wrong. Turns out we showed up on "Pint Night."

Worst. Idea. Ever. I had a mini panic attack. Once we sat down at the table I felt like something swallowed me and I would never come out again... Awkward? I went outside for some air and my husband made me feel all better. He is so patient with me when I freak out. I love him. (.... I could feel myself smiling like a crazy when I typed that. Why am I so awkward?)

I got all better and we enjoyed our awesome family dinner to the sound of an awesome live cover band and life was awesome.

(BTW! Before I move on to the next part of our little story: Happy birthday, Nathan! You're awesome!)


After dinner we drove to the store to pick up some lady things that I was in desperate need of (okay... desperate is a little bit of an exaggeration, but I was still in need. Humor me). We decided to mosey into the Target closest to our house for the purchase.

If you're anything like me and Nick, you can't just go into Target and get the one thing you need. We have no control. BUT I am proud to say that I haven't moseyed into the clothing section in months. Moving on.

We strolled through the store and wound up in the back next to the books. Nick pointed out the Hunger Games series and I died a little inside wishing I could buy them all. I won't settle for paperback so I just have to save up and move on.

We were seriously crazy last night. Our combined attention span seemed very very minuscule as we strutted through the books and DVDs. That's when it happened. All at once, we both noticed an amazing sale on amazing shows on DVD. "What was it" you ask? Well, let me tell you! Select seasons were only $15. Fif. Teen. Dollars. What did we do? Grab seasons without regret. Best decision ever.

So. With 20 ish bucks out of pocket (we had a gift card), we bought lady things, season 4 of Gossop Girl, and seasons 3 and 4 of The Big Bang Theory. STEAL. I felt mildly dishonest for a very short period of time. We saved about 100 bucks. We win.

  1. Why do you feel dishonest? LOL You kill me! At least you didn't leave the store without the item you went in there for. I went to WalMart when I first moved here to get Motrin. Spent $278 on stuff for the house, and forgot the Motrin.. actually, never have remembered it since.. still Motrin-less... lol
