I'm pleased to report that after a nerve wracking 30 minutes, I found out that my car has again passed inspection!  Yes!  High fives around the room.  I don't know why I get so worked up about it.  It's not like I'm driving the biggest hunk of crap in the world.  The Buick runs pretty well and is in good shape, overall.  I just don't like others scrutinizing my car, I guess.  lol 

A big THANK YOU to Adams Darling and Jeanie for welcoming me back!  I missed you guys, too.  I am glad to be back. 

Hubby and I went to a big fish dinner at the old Sugar Loaf school tonight.  It was delicious! Also a tad awkward as you were jammed together with a bunch of strangers, but after a few moments of uncomfortable silence, someone broke the ice and we all chatted and enjoyed ourselves.  They brought out quite a spread.  For 10 dollars you got all you could eat fried fish, potatoes, baked beans, pepper slaw, beets, corn, and bread.  There was either water or coffee to drink, and you could pick a piece of pie or a serving of ice cream for dessert.  It was delicious.  The bowls were passed around family style and a "waitress" kept the bowls full and took our pie orders at the end of the meal.  They seated by the table, so you'd buy your ticket and then wait outside till your number was called, then go in with a group of strangers.  lol   Hubby and I both decided it was more than worth the 45 minute wait.

 The inside of the old school is pretty neat.  It was originally built in 1887, but it's not the typical 1 room schoolhouse.  It's a rather large and rambling wooden building with big windows.  I'm not from this area originally, but I would guess the school probably closed in the 50's or 60's.  

Okay, I just spent about 30 minutes trying to find out when the school closed, and I can't.  lol 

At any rate, we're planning on having a quiet Sunday.  Right now we're watching football.  Two teams that I could care less out.  USC and Oregon.  And it looks like Oregon just got another touchdown.  Hubby is happy as he dislikes USC quite a lot.  I have no idea why.  lol 

We went to Big Lots tonight to look at recliners.  My mom and dad just bought a new one and it's really uncomfortable.  The three of us kids were thinking about buying them a better one. The ones there were pretty comfy.  Not like, "I'm in love with this chair" comfy, but comfy.  It was better than theirs. 

I got my cheap on this afternoon and bought some groceries at Dollar Tree.  lol  Now, granted, it's not as though I do a lot of my shopping there...but they have the Smart Ones breakfast sandwiches I like, which are 2.99 at Weis or Giant for only a buck.   Of course I'm going to buy them at Dollar Tree!   They also have big bags of frozen berries I use to make recipes with.  They are 2.50 for the generic bag (on sale) at Weis...or a dollar at Dollar Tree.  It's a tough choice.  lol  Anyway, I got a couple things for lunches there, too, as well as a few other odds and ends. 

Weis had a bunch of discounted meat today.  I was pretty stoked.  lol  I got a roasting chicken for about a 1.75 after they took a bunch off (I have it roasting in the crock pot- I'm going to pick the meat off and use it for chicken enchiladas for Monday night's dinner).  I also got some pre-made burgers for about two bucks.  Those went right in the freezer.  I got a bunch of chicken breasts for next to nothing, too.  Those got rinsed off and wrapped up and frozen.  Woohoo!  I love discounted meat.  lol 

On that note, I think I'll go to bed.  I'm sure if you didn't think I was crazy before, I'm sure it's sinking in now.
