A few months ago, this really would have been nothing. But Dave and I have been working to save money through spending less (hard) and paying off debt (even harder). We have cooked and crockpotted our way through 98% of our meals. I've even developed a luke warm relationship with coupons... warmed further by the discovery of coupons for champagne (still trying to decide if using coupons for alcohol is frugal or maybe indicating a drinking problem). So I feel like we've earned this. And with Dave's birthday coming up, we have another reason to go out and celebrate. On the list: Hollerbach's Willow Tree Cafe (read: heavy German food smothered in delish cream based sauces). Definitely not glamorous sounding, I know. But having been there is like being part of a secret society. It's that local place that is ALWAYS packed. And when you mention it in public, anyone who's also been will totally jump into the conversation and agree that it's the best place ever and you become insta-friends. Well, maybe not insta-friends, but it does add to your street cred. I guess there's no real point to this post, so long story short - not a fun week. But relaxation on the horizon. And something yummy to look forward to.
UPDATE: Something is going on with the posts... None of the spacing works? Oh well. Too tired to fight it.
