Hanging out with friends- Good friends of ours had their house broken into on Wednesday and one of their cars vandalized on Friday morning. We showed up on their doorstep for moral and nutritional support. No, KFC is not that nutritional, but I’m not certain the wife of the couple would have eaten anything if we hadn’t stopped by.

Camarilla event
We’ve had ants since we moved in to the house. This last week, they finally got to me as they made their way to the cupboard with all the dog treats. The money for the exterminator will come out of our house fund.
We also returned to a club that we used to be members of (and that you could say is responsible for my husband and I meeting). They had a gathering on Saturday night which called for costumes and props (hence the hubby’s allowance spending), and also caused us to eat out for dinner with friends before hand.

Not nearly as much football watching as I would have liked
Dealing with things for the MIL took about 5 hours of our day. She lost her cell phone earlier this week, which was a pain, and caused her a minor panic attack, but it allowed us to finally move her off her individual plan and simply add her as another line on our account. She loses a $70/month bill, and my bill will only go up about $20, which she’ll pay us.
In addition, in the past when we’ve ordered her clothes(clothes she has asked for and in the size she tells us she wears) she wears them once or twice and then gives them away. So today, instead of ordering froma catalogue, we took her into a store that makes clothes in her size and let her pick out some outfits. It wasn’t cheap, but she has 4 complete new outfits to supplement the 2 or 3 she’s been wearing that she really likes.
As for football, I kind of wish I could have spent the first Sunday of the season vegging out in front of the TV, but I won’t complain too much. As a Raiders, the important game is happening on Monday.
