I started my Sunday at 6:00am, which is nothing new. I managed to write 3 blogs, so it felt good to get ahead for a couple days. After that, I watch what I consider informational videos on YouTube. I was just getting sleepy at 10:00am when Girlie came down. She said good morning and made a cup of coffee. We talked about our plans for the day, she said to invite her if her plans fell through, she would join us. Her BF works Sunday through Thursday, so he is gone all day. She headed back to her room and within minutes, I went back to bed too. I talked with Wife as I woke her a bit. I told her what my plans for the day were, she just said sure.
I fell asleep hard and didn't wake until after 2:00pm, which pissed me a bit because we were now going to be running late if I wanted to go to the lake to see the boats and cut the grass and BBQ. I made the decision to forget the boat show, nobody enjoys it but me. Before I said any of this though, Javalina said he wanted to pay for lunch, just not anything expensive, specially no Salt Lick. He then suggested Chicken Express which I must say is growing on me. Their chicken usually tastes mostly fresh along with the fries. We didn't need him to pay, but it is quite cool when the little guy says he wants to pay for lunch, shows us his wallet and says he has over $150 bucks.
Speaking of saving money, I actually went back to the mall and Helzberg Diamonds where we had just put his watch on lay away. I explained that I felt real shitty, but I had found it cheaper in a bunch of other places on Amazon. There were like 7 vendors selling it for a lot less, all the way down to $259 when I first looked. At the mall, I was going to buy it for $401. How am I not supposed to be smart and save myself the almost $150? The same sales lady was there and I did say if y'all will match the price point or at least take something off, I might just get it here. She said Helzberg does not do that kind of thing, they were already giving me their best price. The lady that did the return was much more understanding and said not to worry about it. There were no hard feelings and she said she would do the same thing too. I said thank you after I counted my money and then walked right into a Cadillac test drive where if we took a test drive, we each got a $25 gift card. Wife was already doing it, so I signed up, and ten minutes later, we had an additional $50 in our pockets. The guy I drove in a midsize SUV said it was priced at about $50,000 as it was the size of a Ford Explorer without the third row seats. A fully loaded Ford Explorer is less than that and he mentioned their Escallade starts at $100,000. Yikes!!! I thought the Expedition was expensive at $65,000-$70,000.
We then got meat to BBQ and the last few hours of the day were spent just grilling and chilling in the kitchen and out in the patio. This was nice, Wife even let me take a 30 minute nap before we headed downstairs to grill. I always feel much better after a nap.
