Here is the picture for January 1st:
One of the off-and-on traditions I/we have for New Year's Day is to eat Texas Caviar, which is a black eye pea salad with peppers. Supposedly, eating black eye peas and similar legumes is considered to be good luck as they represent money and fortune. Last year I don't believe we did this, and we had crappy luck in 2009. We have to have better luck this year. Please.
For yesterday, here is the photo:
We spent a lot of money yesterday. Normally, I am not into those weird sales times to get good deals. But yesterday, I found myself getting up at the crack of dawn to go out shopping at Kohls and get some towels - bath towels at $2.49. Jon and I had talked about getting a new set of towels, and this was the time. I had already thought about getting bras and undies at Lane Bryant, but again Kohls had a really good price so I took advantage of it. Only spent $67 for 4 bath towels, 2 hand towels, 2 wash cloths, 3 undies, and 2 bras (with mail in rebates for $6 additional to get 2 more bras), saving $75. When I went to Sock club yesterday morning, I found the sock I had been working on for several months had dropped stitches and I had no idea how to fix it. So I ripped it completely out and decided to start a new one - with a new book. Then yesterday afternoon, Jon and I decided to exchange the BluRay player I got a couple months ago, for a Sony one with a coaxial input. In doing so, Jon decided to get his camcorder and I got a new camera. I can't wait to play with it, but I will have to wait - until I get a memory card for it. Ch-Ching...
