The 33 Cent Dinner.

Yesterday was our wedding Anniversary and my hubby and I went out to eat and I had the antojitos and fried mushrooms( shown here) both of which were appetizers and I ended up bringing half back home and had for my snack later at night so despite his asshole comment earlier I did NOT "over-eat"  and he had the steak and what would have normally been over a 50$ meal only ended up costing 33 cents because he had a coupon/discount thing! He also joked I could post to my Facebook friends how the "cheap bastard only gave me a 33 cent dinner for our anniversary" ha, ha. Since we were already in the bigger town we also stopped by and visited my mother who said she can now walk unassisted without someone to "spot" her yet still with the walker(and she still needs the diapers) and someone still keeps stealing from her friend too and my hubby suggested he install a hidden camera and she said they'd probably steal the camera too and that crazy one that kept loudly yelling My butt! My butt! My butt! died a couple of days ago as well and she was really dark yellow as well, so obviously liver failure, so my question is why wasn't she in the hospital? IDF also accidently shot and killed 3 of their own Israeli hostages too(so-called "friendly" fire?) even though they had no shirts on( proving they didn't have suicide vests on) were waving white flags, and were yelling for help in Hebrew...it reminds me of when friends betray you and you then sadly  realize that they were never really "friends" to begin with but enemies just pretending to be friends.

I also went to the mall, something I rarely do, and this time I actually not only found a hippo Squishmallow but I found two of them; Harrison the hippo and Hanna the hippo and I also found Wilfred  the Ty beanie Frenchie because he was just so freakin' adorable and I just couldn't resist him! Normally I give my stuffies names but these guys already came with names.I actually saw him the last time I was there and was thinking I should have got him. I also got a moringa body butter cream from The Body Shop I haven't been to in years but I love and it cost 27$ but it's my Christmas treat to myself. It just smells soooo divine. I also found the perfect gift for the 16 YR old and my hubby was there to verify it so hopefully this time he won't toss it aside like he always does with my gifts
The mall was also packed  and reminded me why I don't go shopping in December.
 or on Saturdays .
and never on Saturdays in December.
What was I thinking?
The car also has what looks like a bullet hole in the windshield my hubby says actually came from a rock that came flying off a truck in front of him and hit the windshield as he was driving along the highway the other day coming back from Toronto. Hopefully insurance will cover it but even so, holy shit though! I also said how I wish I could see the live production of Chicago in Toronto ( back when I used to live there and had $$$$ my mother and I used to see the live performances all the time) and he joked that it's "too much Razzle Dazzle for me" but there can never be "too much" Razzle Dazzle for me.Actually, now it's just too expensive.

I also posted this on my Facebook  and titled it Ugly Mugly and 18 December(tomorrow) for some reason feels "significant" to me but I don't know exactly why, and yesterday I tripped and fell(again) trying to walk to the couch in-between the coffe table and almost landed on Buddy who was resting on his bed  beside the couch but luckily he knew I was going down and ran out of there fast, and I never knew he could run so fast( esp. at his age and with his arthritis!) and if he hadn't moved it would have been like a hippo falling on a mouse and he would have been squished and I would never be able to live with myself and the guilt, and I often have dreams of my cousin D lately,too, who I haven't seen since I was 13 and they cut off contact for some unknown reason, and I wonder if it means she died? She would be 11 or so years older than me and I always loved visiting them twice a year; summer and Christmas and her younger sister J ( 9 years older than me) and I would hang out and play and climb trees and do fun things and go to the corner store and buy candy, but D taught me about beauty; she was so pretty and looked like a model(and was a talented artist,too) even when she cut her long hair short she was still beautiful, maybe even more so, and she showed me her make-up and let me experiment and put nail polish on my nails and one time(I was around 9 or so) we even took a bus to Yorkdale mall near where they lived and she bought me a baton I became quite good at, and she was the church secretary and one time when she was about 20 the priest made a "pass" at her and she was a good virginal Catholic girl and was really traumatized by this and quit her job and it really affected her and she ended up to be a recluse that hardly even left the house after that. It was so sad. It really messed her up.
