what a lovely day.
Mar. 7th, 2009 05:52 pmthe spring weather today completely lifted my spirits. we opened the back door to let some air in through the screen, and it was so nice to air the house out. angus loved it as well -- jack moved his kitty condo over to the doorway, so that he could climb up to be level with the screen:
he wouldn't budge from that spot for hours.
after an afternoon of errands* (i have all my cruise shopping done, yay), i'm sitting here smelling a rack of ribs cooking in the oven, which we'll have with a salad and some cornbread later tonight. YUM.
last night was a good night as well, jack and i got to hang out with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
xtingu and mrl24 at the 10:30pm IMAX showing of "watchmen". i really liked it, especially the line of doofy college guys sitting behind us all dressed up as dr. manhattan (no they weren't naked, they painted white boxer briefs blue). and the best part of all: i am now the proud owner of a jill knapp original from her "Hello" series -- "Hello Angus"! hee! i love it so much, it looks just like angus. check it out:
*so, one of today's errands was to hit costco. i joined a couple of weeks ago, and this was my first shopping trip there. i learned 2 things there: 1. never ever go to costco on a saturday afternoon (sweet baby jesus, the crowds! the rudeness of the crowds!), and 2. you can save a TON of money. i didn't believe it at first, because we only got a handful of things and it came to $135 which made me go *eek*. but a couple of hours later, i was at the local supermarket and wrote down the "price per unit" of the things we bought at costco, to compare... and WHOA. if we had bought those quantities at my regular supermarket, it would have cost us $60 MORE. on just those few things! we saved almost $25 just on the steaks we got to grill with my family tomorrow. and the giant pack of zyrtec was another $20 savings. okay, i'm officially sold... for those thigns you can use in bulk, costco is worth the membership.
