Greys & Things

Hubby and I went shopping today to find him new work shoes.  Hubby is a very frugal shopper.  Last year, he was able to find work boots for $17 on clearance at Kohl’s.  This year, he was not so lucky.  I told him the chances of us finding another pair of work boots for $17 was not very likely.  Hubby is frugal and picky about his shoes.  He normally wears his shoes until they get holes in them because he wants to get his money’s worth.  His shoes normally last him a year and he wears them almost every single day.  Kohl’s didn’t have anything decent on clearance.  Sears didn’t have anything cheap enough.  We finally found the same pair that he bought last year at Kohl’s on clearance for $17 at Famous Brands for $49.99.  It was not the deal he wanted, but his feet were starting to get wet from the holes in the bottom of his shoes and he didn’t want to wait another week.  Famous Brands did have 4 pair of socks for $1.00, so we got a deal with those.

We finally made it out for my birthday dinner, which was really a lunch.  We ate at Texas Roadhouse.  I was little disappointed, but it was fine.  I’m wondering if the blood pressure medicine is changing my taste buds.  Food is just not tasting as good to me.

Tonight, I fried us some Spam for dinner.  I haven’t had Spam since I was a child.  I heard on the news that Spam sales go up during a recession.  It’s not as flavorable as I remember.  Again, I wonder if it is just my taste buds.  Hubby said it was good.

We watched the movie W. tonight.  I had been wanting to see it.  I’m not sure how I really feel about it.  The private conversations shown in the movie are just that, private.  How does anyone know what was said?  I don’t think President Bush and Laura shared those conversations with anyone.  My feeling is that a lot of it was made up.

Happy Saturday!
