What a deal!

I went to the dollar store the other night and got all this for $24 plus tax!  I love the dollar store!

This was a gift for my friend's bridal shower.  What can I say?  I'm a practical girl.  Sure, other gifts might be more fun....but I figure these are the "little things" that are useful and maybe get forgotten by newlyweds.

Hooray for the dollar store!!!!  Here you will find everything for your household cleaning needs...

Notice the body wash/sponge and front and center...a pregnancy test (who knows if it actually works! I mean....it was only a dollar!)  I originally wanted to sneak in a hideous thong or something to jazz things up but sadly they had nothing but grandma underwear at the dollar store.  Then while at the checkout, my boyfriend spotted the preggo test and suggested I get that.  I was like "uhhhhhhh........OK!"

At the party we were invited to give some advice to the happy couple.  Mine was written on the card.

Here's the cute bride-to-be!

Nickel & Dimed

So I parked at the meter today (because I was feeling lazy and not so much like walking clear across campus to my Biology class).  Thinking ahead, I stuffed four quarters into my coat pocket as I left my house this morning to cover my 1 hour parking at the meter.  When I went to drop my coins in the meter the quarter wouldn't fit. 

"For real?!?!" I thought.

I'm not sure if it was just a ghetto parking meter or if the last person who took out the money didn't put it back together correctly, but I didn't have time to try and figure it out.  So much for thinking ahead and being ready with my four quarters huh? 

I scrounged my coin pocket and had enough nickels and dimes (which were the only alternatives that would fit into the slot) for 48 minutes worth of parking and skipped off to my 50 minute long Biology class, and hoped for mercy from the parking patrol.

Class, over.  I stroll back to my car.  Sure enough, the meter is blinking that my time has expired....and no ticket!

Yes!

Mercy granted.  Thank you!

Lesson learned: I need to carry around more change! haha
