Offer: Obama/Biden Lawn Signs - Palmyra


I didn't watch the debate or listen to anything about it, but I did find it amusing that this e-mail came through at about 11 o'clock last night. The signs were pending pick up this morning to 2 different people.

I realized I never wrote about all the exciting things that went on this weekend. I will avoid telling you about the non-exciting things.

A bunch of you enjoyed reading the articles I linked to in this post so I thought I'd share this one as well.

The Frugal Introvert: Fifty Ways to Have Fun By Yourself on the Cheap

I have done some of these in the past month and I have been planning on doing some of these soon! It is really a great list. Check out the comments as well for some other good suggestions.

100 Things to Do During a Money Free Weekend (or anytime, really)

Oh yeah. And I got my "Big Fat Payment" from Ebates yesterday. Directly into my paypal account.

$53.00. WHOA, nice. :-) $18 for joining Netflix and $35 from referrals. I got a target $10 gift card from them in the mail the other day, too. *cleans up* :-)

Yesterday, I took advantage of the Free Southern Style chicken sandwich day at McDonalds. It wasn't entirely free because you had to buy a drink, but for $1.87 to get a drink and a sandwich (and a whole bunch of napkins) it was a pretty good deal. I stopped at the Bakery Outlet for a bag of popcorn ($0.99 for a big bag) that I will probably not finish 'til the end of the weekend. Good deal. I also got bread ($0.59) and 2 containers of "gourmet" chocolate covered pretzels for $1. I promptly left them in the car so that they got all melted together. But that allowed me to use a knife and a bottle of vodka as a make-shift hammer to get them apart! Woo, fun! It was the one time I actually wished I had a meat tenderizer or a crab-hammer in the kitchen.

After my last tap class, I tracked down a free Iced Coffee at Dunkin' Donuts. Just a few years ago we had NO dunkin donutses (?), now we have a BUNCH! The first place I went to was on my way, but was "out of ice". Whatever. The second place was a bit out of the way, but had them. What is with Indian people (from India) running dunkin donutses? Odd. Didn't buy anything at DD so the coffee only cost me the amount of gas to get off and on the highway (1/10th of a mile total) and some dignity (I was still dressed for tap class). No biggie. :-)

Tap deserves a HUGE post pre-show, so hopefully I will get to that later.

EDIT: I was going to post this to freestuff but the queue is backed up and I don't feel like waisting all this typing. I'll probably try to post it again later.

Free Netflix trial:
I got this in the mail, so I don't know if this is one-use or what. I haven't used it, though, so at least one person here will be able to take advantage of it! (Also, not sure how long the free trial is for)
