Labor Day Weekend

It started with a day at the pool. Mama and I hung out with her best friend, Donna. The pool was actually pretty peaceful and not too crowded. My mom rocks. She picked up tuna subs for lunch from Jimmy John's. That's another one of those places to visit if you haven't eaten there. Sunday, I overslept. Oops. I made it to Sunday school, though. We had a Mexican lunch with Matt and Brittany. That night, they had us over for a rib supper. We also had coconut cake, bread, pasta salad and something that I don't remember what to call it. I ate with a dog down beside me and a cat behind me. The dog was the only reason that the cat didn't join us. She's not a large animal, but is quite the garbage disposal.

East Wake High Reunion

My classmates and I gathered for our 10-year reunion. We took in the East Wake vs. Wake Forest-Rolesville game. It was rainy, so we ducked out early for our next stop: BW3's. Saturday brought more rain...lovely Hurricane Irene. We moved it from Baileywick Park in Raleigh to Tayler Wright's house. Tayler was our class president and the main organizer. Lunch was barbeque from a local restaurant. That night, we had a private party at White Collar Crime in downtown Raleigh. Until 10, it was closed to the public. We had a DJ and supper from Amedeo's. If you've never been to Amedeo's, you should. It's near State. We had a great time catching up. It made me want to keep in touch better and get together with people when I'm back in town.

Trip to Harris Teeter:
2 boxes of Cheerios
2 toilety items

Grand total: 9.38
Total saved: 10.24

*Bonus- I received a.05 rebate by using a Green Bag. It was one of the HT reusable grocery bags. I'm not sure that they give you a rebate for any random ''green'' (cloth) bag. That was either included in my total saved or put on my VIC card for use on a future purchase. Neato. I may have done some other shopping, but this pretty much sums it up.

Flat Out 5k

On Saturday, July 9, I ran the Flat Out 5k. I've entered it a few times and try to keep it on my calendar each year. This year's race featured dogs from the animal shelter. Thankfully, several dogs ended up being adopted that day. A few also spent time out at PetSmart and increased the shelter's visibility. It was a fun race and I look forward to running it next year. A lot of runners from the Greenville Running Group and Greenville Organization of runners participated. Thanks to Bill Peery for taking this picture:
