My Fella and I don't buy each other many gifts.
But for Valentines Day we did get each other a few fun things.
For My Fella:
- Sid Meiers SIM Golf
- Sid Meiers Pirates ... "Arrrrgh, matey!"
- big bag of peanut butter M&M's
For moi:
- three scented organic candles on sale from Bed, Bath and Beyond
- a replacement engagement ring after losing my first one 18 months ago (in my defense it was too big and kept slipping off. And I don't ever wear jewelery, especially big diamonds. Oh yeah - and I'm an idiot. I still can't believe I lost it. I just hope whoever found it really needed the money :(
The video games were purchased thru eBay (half the price of gaming stores) and the M&M's were on sale at Fry's.
My replacement faux engagement ring was found in a little Tucson store selling southwestern art. It's opal, with a man made emerald in the center and 4 little cz stones, set in white gold. It was on sale for $63... a fraction of the price of my diamond engagement ring but if I lose this one too it will be cheaper and easier to replace.
And while running errands yesterday we stumbled into a Blockbuster movie close-out sale. We picked up these three flicks for $9 - the same price as one adult movie admission in Canada.
We spent just under $130, but we're both happy with what we bought and we'll make good use out of everything.
And no expensive restaurant dinner for us tonight; we'd rather stay home to eat turkey bean chili, watch one of our new movies and hang out with her...
Oh.
And him too...
More details about this little monster coming up :)
You crack me up with your financial and expenditure reports - they are fun - do not stop!
Now I am wondering that $9.00 is for admission to an ADULT movie, or is that the ticket price for an adult to view a movie? Inquiring minds must know. :-)
Happy Valentines Day Amiga!

A new doggy! Yay! He's so cute.

Tucson Daizy - yes, he's really sweet. I'll write more about him this weekend after we adopt him for sure. Right now we're just fostering him while he gets to know Shelbert, our other little mutt. Have to make sure they can tolerate each other.
We've actually been looking for another dog since we got here. Knowing how involved you are with local dog rescues, I was gonna ask you for help, but you're such a busy gal (working full-time AND fostering) I didn't want to bug you.
And I'm following your mortgage payoff goal - GOOD FOR YOU! Don't get discouraged now... you're so flippin' close :)
