Last summer I gathered up all my change I had laying about and ended up with $200. (It took five years to accumulate.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I just switched three credit card bills over to paperless. I am excited about all of the paper I'm going to throw away.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Got Hanukkah gifts for my parents while I was at Macy's for socks. Now I don't need to step foot in a mall for a while.
After dinner I am making a cheesecake for Gary's birthday party, which is tomorrow.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I just used every possible offer I had from Sephora after not shopping there for at least a year, and got a crapload of stuff for not as much money as they would have hoped. Mostly my mother's Christmas gift.

Wow. You win the coin hoarder battle by a landslide.

Jesse, I am totally going there this weekend because they sent me a $15 coupon.
OK, y'all, I need help with a present for my sister. She's...uh...a lot like me. She likes books. She likes coffee (but I'm getting her husband coffee stuff), normally I get her some nice makeup and a Sephora gift card, because it's something she enjoys playing with but might not spend money on otherwise. But I feel like I've done it a bunch...she also will, starting Monday, have a 3 year old foster kid living with her. Help? (Oh, price range around $50)

This is the most pathetic thing to be happy about, but our cleaners called and have to come next week instead of tomorrow, so we don't have to clean up for them tonight.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Aw, one of my salespeople gave me a gift card to bath & bodyworks. She probably gave them to everyone, but she actually mailed it to my home address which feels like extra effort, so I am touched.
I am drawing a blank on ideas for your sister, meara, but I will keep thinking.
Pretty sure it gets more pathetic than that, Dana. Relief at not needing to tidy up is perfectly corpulent, whatever the cause.
ETA: I drew our Director's name for the secret santa thing at work. I should probably put some effort into it, huh? He didn't do the 3 suggestions thing, though...

Yep -- the $15 off, plus my birthday treat, plus whatever I could get for reward points, plus all the samples. Sold! And honestly, for your sister, I think nice makeup and whatever would be even more appreciated with a three year old around.

Yeah, I just took a look at some places you can take kids or whatever, but memberships to the Children's Museum or the Zoo are about $200, which is more than I would spend. Though now I have a few ideas of things we could do (bounce house has a preschoolers-only time!) while I'm in town.
