Hello Again, myLot!

Phew!
It's warm out there, but I got my errands done.
Went to the bank, and on the way stopped at the Raley's grocery, as they have a UPS office in there. Had to wait, as no sooner did I get there than the attendant went on a bathroom break.
Got that done, then went to the bank and deposited my checks, then headed home and made the mistake (mistake for me, as I usually spend at least $50) of stopping at the Hallmark store. I did get a bunch of things for a friend's birthday, though, so at least there was that. My bill came to $60-something, and a lady in the next line said, "Can you use this?" and handed me a $5 coupon. The checker in the line I was in had to restart my transaction, but I wound up getting $5 off.
After, I went to the grocery store I normally go to, looking for some ice cream I was tempted to get last time. While in the store, I ran into my co-worker and her two daughters, who were picking up meds at the pharmacy--her younger daughter had been in the emergency room the day before.
While I was talking with her, I saw a lady I know from church, and chatted with her a bit, too. She saw the tub of ice cream I was going to buy and said, "You're not going to eat all that yourself, are you?" and I told her, "Yes, just not all in one sitting."
Now, I'm home, and it's eleven minutes after noon. Guess I should get something for lunch.
Hope all is well with you in your part of myLot land!

Five dollars off is great! I don’t know why the cashier had to start all over again, unless she was new. I tell you, Hallmark amazes me. In the ups and downs of the economy, they still maintain stand alone stores. Seeing as their non card items are so expensive, I’m pleased they can stay in business.
I saw My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 today with two people from church. Have you seen the first two movies?

She had to start all over againg because she had already rung me up before the lady offered me the coupon. Never seen any of the "Big Fat Greek Wedding" movies.

That was nice of the lady to give you the coupon for $5 off.
