#206 Friday Surprises

2:53 PM

Woke up this morning to a phone call from Stephen reminding me we had an appointment with Craig Jr our financial adviser. Yep we have one of those--just call us ADULTS. I managed to make it there in time for our meeting, and we got the great news that some of our accounts are up by at least 5 to 6%. Better than a savings account. Everytime we are there, Craig has to double check and make sure he heard me right about my job contributing 10% towards my 403b (401k) without me even putting anything in. Now I barely make any money, but nonetheless that makes up for it a WHOLE lot. My benefits are amazing--I'll go ahead and brag. One of the few things I can brag about.

After our meeting, Stephen and I grabbed a bite to eat at Del Taco. Ran into Target a few minutes later, with not much to show for it. I headed back home after that since I wasn't feeling well, and the weather was so nasty. Stephen headed back to work.

I came home, lounged for a bit, tried to do some laundry, and then made a list of groceries to go pick up. Something I've not done in a long time. But I delayed and instead took a trip to Goodwill, where I managed to find EVERYTHING Target on discount. I'll post some of the pics here soon.

I texted Joanna as my lifeline to decide on which Target bag to buy, and got a quick invitation to dinner.

I rushed into Aldi's real quick, with a couple of prayers.


Then rushed home to Stephen so we could get ready to go enjoy a delicious potato soup with Red Lobster biscuits with one of the sweetest and best families we know.

Got all the good loving I need from Mr. Jackson, and we settled in for the night watching weird videos of robots, Studio C, and thriller cuts of Elf. Was a splendid and surprising night.
