My Carol Day!!!! : )

From sun-up to sun-down I truly had a magnificent "Carol Day!" I couldn't resist coming home for lunch. Let me explain. I ventured to Braum's and was going to surprise hubby with our most delicious lunch, at Braum's a hamburger and their melt in your mouth french fries that are served hot! But, I came up with a genius idea! A 1/6th of a pound hamburger and french fries lunch is $5.51 with taxes. Violla!!! I glanced over and saw they sell the very hamburger meat, buns, french fries, and even the shredded lettuce right there at Braum's! So I purchased a pkg. of buns, 3 lb. hamburger meat, shredded lettuce and french fries. The bill came to $6.16 as the hamburger was on sale! So if I would have purchased 2 hamburger meals at the regular price it would have been 3 times the buying and fixing it myself!

Next steps: I surprised my hubby, came home, and cooked the meal! It was delicious and now we have at least four more meals----what a savings of money!!! We had noon candlelight! Can't beat that with a stick!!!

Then I was honored on my Carol's Day at Petsmart for making the Management's day as I had written a fabulous, complimentary letter to the CEO of Petsmart on these people for helping me with my favorite hobby, getting my fishtank and families of fishes all set up. That's just incredible how they honored me!!! I never felt so important. It was a surprise, so I really didn't get home by the time everyone talked to me about 5 p.m. I can't even express how surprising and fabulous that was!!! Wow, wow, wow!!!!! What loving, genuine, marvelous people!!!!!

Was the day over quickly? Yes Did I have a fanatastic Carol Day? Absolutely
Did I get everything done that I wanted to get done? No....but I will look forward (oh so forward) to my next Carol Day and finish up!!!! What a day to begin February love month. wooohoo......I am a person most blessed!!!! And of course, I'm up at the crack of dawn and couldn't wait to share my eventful day with my Blog readers!!!!
