Today was a lucky day for me.

First of all, I noticed that two $5 coupons Maple Leafs Food had sent me were valid only until December 31st. Then I opened my mail and found out the same company had just sent me another $3 coupon for Christmas. So I spent $14 at the supermarket on Maple Leafs products later this afternoon.:D

I went to the bank to pay my Bell and Mastercard bills. While going through the University of Ottawa campus, I spotted a quarter on the snowy ground. I bent over to pick it up and spotted two more. :)

In the Bell building, I went to mail a money order for an Ars Technica member who just released her second CD. Noticed a 6/49 kiosk, so I went to have my two old tickets checked ( I only buy one every 2-3 months). I then heard the music for the first time ever! I had just won $10. :shocked: Bought another ticket.:cool:

Stopped at the Rideau Centre shopping mall on the way back home to pick up my two preordered Mamma Mia! DVDs (one for me, one a gift for my niece Sophie - same name as the ingenue in the movie). :gift: They were supposed to be $36.99 but today were on sale at $18.99 and the manager allowed me to buy them at this price. I then saw also a CD of ABBA's best hits on sale at $6.99 and bought that too for my niece (she loves musicals).:cool:

Overall, an excellent day. Twas really nippy though. First time this winter I had my thighs tingling through my jeans.:laugh:

But did you go skating on the canal and pickup a hot coed and have steamy sex the rest of the day?

That's pretty loose. Should probably see a Proctologist.

I did write Maple Leaf Food a nice letter during the recent ordeal. Expressed concern but stated that I would remain a loyal customer. Just got a letter from them yesterday. The plant that caused some deaths is spotless clean now and their hygiene procedures so far exceed government regulations that they will now be implemented by other companies too. They have been a very responsible company throughout this ordeal.

Lemmie see... you got $14 in coupons for food, I'm going to assume here that there was also a sale on Maple Leaf products so you maximized your savings? :)


It's said that the quality of a live isn't measured by the big,milestone events but rather by the smaller pleasantries that come our way and that our ability to be truly rich is only limited by our ability to slow down enough that we can notice and appreciate the small treasures that come our way:)
