been a good few days!
So, I cancelled my cable/DVR yesterday. I realized I hadn't turned the thing on all summer and I was wasting $25/month (it was a cable/internet bundle+DVR for $87, but the guy told me that internet alone would be $60). So I went and dropped it off and THE GODS OF THE INTERNET SMILED UPON ME FOR THESE WAS A SPECIAL! Yes, so now, instead of paying $87/month for all that other stuff, I'm just paying $20/month for internet! TWENTY DOLLARS! I was so excited!
I was quite proud of that. I, of course, had to share the good news on facebook/twitter because it was a big deal for me to 1) cancel my TV and 2) actually SAVE some money! I posted a bit about looking into Hulu Plus when the new TV shows start up again if only so I can stream it thru my Xbox to my TV and LO AND BEHOLD THE GHOST OF FRIENDS PAST SMILED UPON ME and my friend Danny, who I have not SEEN in person and who I only friended on facebook a year or so ago sent me a Hulu Plus code. Cool, I thought, a free month. Then I entered the code and it was FOR A WHOLE YEAR!!!!!!!! Seriously, how awesome is that??? I have heard of random acts of kindness but that was just above and beyond!
OH and then I went to Giant and took Perri's advice to shop the circular, which I never think to do because usually I'm just frakkin hungry, but anyway, I managed to get some healthy food and some meats on sale, plus some sandwich makings that should last me a couple months for under $70! w00t AGAIN! Just made artichokes for the first time ever (i.e. I boiled water and put them in the water for 30 minutes, this is my cooking skill level) and they were so yummy - it's a healthy lunch ignore the fact that I smothered each leaf in melted butter
Good times. :-)
