Can’t take advantage of the sale

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (46748) • Staten Island, New York 12 Jun

I went online to our local supermarket and saw that the Palmolive dish soap we use is on sale. A 32.5 fl oz container is $3.99 instead of $4.49, and there is also a $2 off coupon. Final cost is $1.99 plus tax. Then a 12-roll...

How much should I pay?

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (46748) • Staten Island, New York 11 Jun

When we bought our living room furniture they had a promo of 0% interest for 36 months when you pay with a Bloomingdale's credit card. I decided to take advantage of that and got the card. The initial credit limit I got was not...

An unexpected poem

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (46748) • Staten Island, New York 10 Jun

I’m lying on my bed about to pick up a book I’m reading currently when a line comes to me. I pick up my phone and write that line down so I can work on it later. Then more lines start coming to me so I keep on writing them down....

Brunch and a Broadway show tomorrow

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (46748) • Staten Island, New York 6 Jun

Going to see a play tomorrow. It’s called The Picture of Dorian Gray. There is only one actor in the play and she portrays all the characters. That sounds interesting. Not sure if I’ve ever seen a play with only one...

My mom stop by yesterday evening to drop off some stuff from the Chinese supermarket she got us. When I approached her car I noticed a dime (10¢) lying on the ground. I didn’t pick it up right away as I didn’t have any pockets and...

Sad surprise

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (46748) • Staten Island, New York 1 Jun

We went to the cemetery today to visit my husband’s grandfather’s grave. I think May 30th or 31st was three years since his passing. On our way from the cemetery my eyes came upon a headstone with a familiar picture. I came out...

The Dollar Tree is not the same

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (46748) • Staten Island, New York 27 May

Yesterday, I went to The Dollar Tree for the first time in a while. My mom needed a watering can and she didn’t want to spend a lot of money on it. She mentioned this store so I went there to see if one is for sale there. I...

On Thursday I ordered toilet paper from Target. I got three 24-mega rolls packs. They were supposed to arrive today. To my surprise one arrived yesterday. The rest should come today. I got an email that they are out for...

Wish I had noticed it earlier

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (46748) • Staten Island, New York 22 May

We still have enough toilet paper but I decided to see if there are any deals on it online. Found the toilet paper we use (Quilted Northern Ultra Plush) at Target for the best price it seemed like. A pack of 24-mega rolls was...

I charged a banana

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (46748) • Staten Island, New York 19 May

I was craving a banana Saturday and stopped by Whole Foods Market as it was close to where I was in Manhattan. After grabbing one banana I went to check out. I ended up going to the self-checkout lane as there didn’t seem to be...

One of my favorite things to eat

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (46748) • Staten Island, New York 15 May

I love caviar — both black and red. It’s one of my favorite things to eat. No need for bilini, crème fraiche, or any other toppings. I enjoy it the most on top of slices of buttered freshly baked bread. I always add a generous...

What I’m currently reading

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (46748) • Staten Island, New York 14 May

I’m currently reading The Bonfire of the Vanities by Tom Wolfe. The novel is 685 pages long. I’m about 27% into the book. The chapters are not super long, which I prefer. I can actually finish a few chapters in one sitting....

This is weird…

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (46748) • Staten Island, New York 12 May

My mom had issues with her gas meter last year. She kept getting estimated readings and they weren’t able to get remote reading even after they installed something on the old meter. Finally they just replaced the meter. I don’t...

Yesterday (May 10th) marked three years since the passing of my dad. It’s hard to believe so much time has passed already. Time sure flies. Went to the cemetery with my mom today to visit his gravesite. There was a funeral...

Dinner and a show

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (46748) • Staten Island, New York 9 May

Mom and I went to see the Titanique musical yesterday. We didn’t know where we’d be sitting as when you buy tickets through TDF they don’t let you choose seats or tell you what they will be. You only find out when you pick up the...

Finished reading Melania and moving on to a novel

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (46748) • Staten Island, New York 6 May

I finally finished reading Melania's memoir. I found the book enjoyable. And it was nice to discover things I didn't know about her or about Trump. Since the book is a collector's edition it was 8.5 x 11 in size, instead of the...
