It was a good Easter. Lots of people, kids, food, laughter and plastic eggs. I was wound up (in a good way) when I got home and couldn't sleep. But I'll sleep tonight!
I took a package of Hawaiian rolls to the dinner and came home with a huge amount of ham and salad, so I made out pretty good! My ex always buys and prepares too much food, so it's usually a given that doggy bags will be handed out at the end.
On Saturday I grocery shopped (only 11 items!)
Snack-size baggies (house brand, on sale)
Splenda (on sale, $3 off coupon)
Lactaid (generic)
Freezer wrap
Butter (house brand, on sale)
Hershey's Bliss eggs (on sale, $1 off coupon)
Creamer (house brand)
2 dozen large eggs (on sale)
King's Hawaiian rolls (on sale)
Kitty litter
Grand total: $42.27
I also went to see Water for Elephants ($6). I couldn't overcome temptation, and I'm glad I went. It was a great book, and now a great movie, too. Highly recommended!
Now I'm getting ready for my weekend road trip to DC. I've got the cash, I've stocked up on kitty litter -- I just have to pack and take care of perishable food.
Easter etc.
