Day 271 (January 4th)--2 by 2

I do not like to go to the grocery store on an empty stomach. We were down to our bare minimum of Groceries so after a relaxing morning of sleeping in I decided to McDonalds for a bite to eat (while I let the car get nice and warm because it is below zero here). I ordered a cheeseburger Happy Meal with an extra Cheeseburger (I like that the portions are smaller in a Happy Meal). I ended up getting 2 straws and 2 toys with my happy meal then I glanced at the odometer and it the last 3 numbers were 222! Lots of 2's today....very interesting. This was so Random I just had to make it my new thing of the day!

EDIT: EXTRA CREDIT---I found this video on Yahoo and was watching it on our computer (that if I haven't mentioned had to have the whole hardrive replaced. Luckily our friend JP did it for free.) when my dog started flipping out and barking at the TV. So I had to calm down my "fur child" who was jealous of the dogs on the computer video. I recommend clicking the link and watching the video. It's funny! For your viewing pleasure, I have enclosed a picture of me and my fur child to the left!

Day 166 (September 21st) See a penny, pick it up

Today I had something else planned but decided to do it another time because I was really sore from all that moving! I found random pennies just taking up space in my purse. Since my election judge check was pretty nice I decided to plant some of those random pennies in random places. One in our buildings laundry room, one in an aisle at Target, one at the Gas station.....Hopefully the random change can brighten someones day (or they can have good luck all day like the saying says....).

Day 129 (August 15th)--A Random Decision

Next month marks six months at my job. I have not had a vacation lasting more than a 4 day wknd since September of last year. With that said, I decided to take the whole first week of November off. Counting the wknd days that surround it I will be away from work for 9 days! My boss already approved it. But besides working at the Election in November...I have no plans. But I will be making some. I figure early November should have some good deals. Maybe I'll do a spa package....or make an excursion up North. Who knows? All I know is it will be a much needed break. I'll just make sure I am on top of my clients needs so there are no large fires with my clients while I am gone.

Take Care,
Jackie

(August 6th)---Hot Dog Day!

Hello,
I will let you know up front---I am going to try and keep the new things about food to no more than 1-2 things a week. However today I could not resist! I was starting to feel hungry around 9Am and wanted to have something that I normally would not eat at this hour....so I had a Polish Sausage with the works! (Tomatoes, onions, olives..). Here is MN we don't normally have hot dogs or sausages with more than the basics but today was my day....and it was DELICIOUS! I need to make these (brats, hot dogs, Sausages) with the works more often!

Take Care,
Jackie

Day 119--Sample Anyone?

Today's new thing is short and sweet but also very Random. I went to SuperTarget today to get my lunch after having client visits all morning. As I was picking up my lunch I notice the number of free samples that were out. So I tried every single free sample that was available as I picked up my lunch and headed to the checkout!

More Tomorrow,
Jackie
