Fun shopping and the warranty
Tuesday, November 07, 2006
I received an unexpected check yesterday. Actually two. One was a $10 rebate for buying "free" cereal. Usually I put that in my savings, but I have been a good girl for too long. I spent some at the grocery store. They have a deal on Jello No-Bake Cheesecake mixes that is $6 for $10, with $2 off at the checkout. I rarely buy this even though I love it. But I sure did today. At $1.33 each, I got six. They will last a long time unless I fix them for church potlucks. We're definitely having one for Thanksgiving. I didn't even know they had a chocolate crust with peanut butter filling! That's how long it's been.
My computer went up in flames on Sunday. Fortunately my husband had filled out the warranty and sent it in. I called Gateway and they are sending a box for me to ship it in. I asked how to save my files and they told me to take out the hard drive and plug it into another computer and make a CD of them. I could not imagine doing this myself, so we took it to our internet server. For $25.00 the nice tech saved me hundreds of hours of work. I'm a journalist, and I had photos and articles on there that I couldn't afford to lose. Thank you, Lord! And my husband for taking care of that warranty.
I made a quart of bulgur wheat this week. Now we can have tabouli. We have everything else on hand -- lemons, mint, parsley, etc. Yum! The parsley has just about taken over my poor, neglected flower beds, and even after several hard freezes it still looks good. I keep drying a little more for tea. I love having parsley on hand. Buying a whole bunch is a pain, because I never use it all unless I dry the leftovers.
