swmbo at 09:19am on 09/06/2004Woot! I'm RICH!! I thought I was totally out of cash today and I was STARVING. Because as usual, I was playing on the computer running late this morning and didn't take the time to make breakfast. Or even grab a bagel to make when I'm at work, which I really need to do more often because it's an economically sound and also tasty way to have breakfast!
But anyway, I'm getting off topic (there's a surprise). So anyway, out of cash and scrounging through my purse for loose change, hoping to find enough money to buy peanut butter crackers out of the vending machien (fifty cents, no tax!) because shush, I like them and I pretend they're a nutricious breakfast sometimes. Anyway, I'm coming up with a few dime and nickles - not even a quarter when WOAH! To what did my wonderous eyes did appear but...three crumpled up DOLLAR BILLS.
Seriously. Actual paper money! Somehow shoved in a side pocket during some busy 'here's your change, lady' sort of moment, I guess. I am so rich. AND it is Taco Wednesday which means that I can take 1.50 of that (plus tax) and buy myself a taco and make myself a taco salad with it that is MORE than filling. Wee!
Except suddenly I am having a total moment of confusion and can't remember if I told my best friend if I'd have lunch with her today or tomorrow or what. *facepalms* I just emailed her. Hee, not that we both couldn't take advantage of Taco Wednesday.
Also! I did go to the vending machine, despite the sudden influx of cash. And discovered that, again, our vending machine people are strange. Not only did they remove the ROOT BEER option from the soda machine, in the food one...see, we have one of those typical chips or chocolate sorta machines. No fruit, no funky sandwiches. Chips, chocolate, maybe gum or popcorn. And also? Now Ramen. Not in a cup, in a regular rectangular package. Chicken flavored ramen. Dispensed from a vending machine. And also? SEVENTY-FIVE FREAKING CENTS! Dude! Talk about price markup! I can get it for 18 cents at the grocery store! Plus...ramen from a vending machine? It just disturbs the swmbo sense of right and wrong. But then, I guess that kind of insidious evil is what I have to expect from working at LuthorCorp.
In random news, did you know that in Michigan there's a School of Canine Cosmetology? I KNOW! Only, it's the Michigan School of K9 Cosmetology! http://www.k9grooming.com/ Go! Marvel at the pink poodle with the scissors. Wee!
*massive hugs to all*
