I wish our supermarkets did that! I'd send hubby for the discount as an excuse to get out of doing the shopping!

My DH came home one day totally ticked off when they first started this. They gave him the discount without asking if he was over 55. <=DH's face.

"Sorry, dear. But the snow on the roof is a pretty big clue."

<thinking how much $ I could save by not having my hair colored...>

Slow day around here.

Think we'll have breakfast for dinner tonight. Veg omelette and veg "sausage" patties for DH and me; pancakes, eggs and real sausage for DS...

Anyone watching Top Chef reunion tonight?

I just did mine myself with Natural Instincts that washes out so you don't get roots. It's fast and cheap.

I used to do my own with L'Oreal....but it's a mess and I'm mostly grey (I think, LOL). I've been having it professionally done the last 6 months or so - at Aveda to avoid so many chemicals since it has to be done so frequently. Thinking though, if I just let it go I'd not only save the money on haircolor, I might also be able to get a discount on my groceries!

I quit my job today.
I was pissed and hating it and decided to quit and take today to fill out applications and now I feel like a dumbass.

My boss actually told me not to come in and I told him I quit.

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.

I just got DS7 from the bus stop and it seems we have our first bully to deal with. He's been picking on my son for almost 2 years, but it seems to be getting worse. I think I'll start documenting what he says and does in case I need it in the future.

OMG....the mattress set I ordered from Costco last week (and they said allow 3-4 weeks for delivery)...is apparently ready to be shipped. They want to deliver it TOMORROW. I still need to get the stupid hide-a-bed out of the guestroom. I guess I know what DH and DS will be doing tonight. And DH will have to park in the driveway until we can make arrangements to either rent a truck to haul the thing away to Goodwill (sans mattress of course) or see if someone we know wants it....Yikes. Wasn't ready for that quite yet.

txt, didn't anyone ever tell you not to burn bridges? Now you can't use him as a reference. you are not going to get ahead like this.
