You Take Your Wins Where They Come

I told you recently that Amazon delivered the goods, and I wasn't talking about an order that showed up at my door.
I was talking about the stock jumping $22 a share on Friday.
You have to have rewards. It has to mean something. It has to have a payoff. And so, I decided to get some Chinese food for dinner tonight. A gain without a payoff is worthless, right?
You come into some money, you take the goods and make good on it.
So, Chinese is ordered and on the way. We will have an order of fried baby shrimp, a quart of shrimp Lo Mein, chicken Mei Fun, two orders (4) of spring rolls, plus an entree with beef with broccoli with pork fried rice and an egg roll as well as another entree of orange chicken with pork fried rice and an egg roll.
Plus an order of 8 crab Rangoon.
All said, with tip, it will set us back $75.50. A drop in the bucket compared to the gain, but worth every penny, and it's been a while since we ordered any, so this should be especially good.
I am looking very forward to it.

@LindaOHio Yes. As a matter of fact, I was tooling around some old posts again yesterday and saw her and was like, "Where the hell is she? Get back here!" And presto...
Here she is, even if I never told her personally to get her butt back here. lol

I'm so jealous. I hope my SIL comes soon so I can cheat and have Chinese and pizza.

@porwest She still doesn't know when she'll be coming. She'd better hurry up before the s**w flies.
