After a $300 trip to the grocery store (and then me throwing out half the stuff because I never got around to cooking it before it went bad - oppsie), I started looking at coupons in the paper. No, not the coupons you are thinking of, get $1.00 off your salad dressing of choice. More like the coupons, buy 1 large pizza for $10.99 and get a free liter of soda.
As I was glancing through the 'buy one bbq sandwich platter, get one free' I spotted this:
Oh, yeah! Just what I need to trash up our back yard. Well, I have a good self image and I don't care what our neighbors think, bring on the blow up pool that takes up over half your yard. I am hot, people, and remember from a post ago how obssessed I am with being outside? Thanks to Dave Ramsey (and I mean that sincerely), we are living on a budget below our means, and this summer does not allow for a $325/month membership to the country club in addition to the $2,500 initiation fee. Next year.
So off to KMart I go...yes, I said KMart. Did you even know they still existed? To find this gem for $20! Well since that was such a steal, I might as well pick up a little assistance (automatic air pump for $20). And there you have it, for 40 bucks, an afternoon of fun. Yep, that's all it lasted. One day. No time since then. :(
I will go ahead and give you a glimpse of my fourth of july weekend that happened almost a month ago now:
Here's hoping to get that baby up and going again before summer's end.
