saturday nite

There comes a time every year in my life around now= the expiration dates on my Entertainment book two for one coupons come nigh, and all those wonderful pans to eat @ these fivethoudasnd places for half price comes to an end.

Ah, the Entertainment book- one of my favourite coveting objects. Starts off this post with the acknowledgable 'fact' that I'm a cheapskate. Learned it the Dadway, so taunts from others only make me realise that I'm doing something rite, @ least.

I look for sales and coupons everywhere. Used to make a point of attending every Sox 1/2 priced Monday games, like the Sunday coupons in the paper, and look for all other breaks. But the coupon book is special to me- Gf found a lost one summer of '05 and off we went. I like it 'cause it's a price saver- we can go out to this or that proscribed restuaraunt and enjoy a goodmealnite and still I feel ok 'cause I saved a bit. Nice to give the waitress a big tip on money saved. Anf to Gf, it's anite out- she's 101% chill on the cheap factor since I do actually spent time, though, and $ on her for evenongs out. A change for her.

So, with the expiration date -- 1 Nov. -- approaching, there comes the "rip out coupons for every likely place we want to go and lets plan it". So, we got the last time @ Quigley's, a place we love. In the hood, lots of people on weekends, real good food (with the single exception of their shitty breakfast fry on Sunday mornings-- the only place in the world where ican prepare a dish better than the cooks there), and half priced coupons.

It was good. We both left nothing on the plate. I had my complete regular platter= the burger and chedder and bacon and sauce. She had...wait, did she have fish ?? No matter, it was good. We also watched the Fire play the 2d half. Tie.
