I got to work this morning to see an email from my mom saying that the recliner I was planning to buy (as Dh and my Xmas present) was on sale today and tomorrow morning only for 50% off!! It's been on sale for 10% off (regular price $500) the past 2 weeks and this afternoon I got it for $250! It was the last one they had, too. Dancing the happy dance :-) Dh loves it and it's so comfortable. About a year ago I saw a coffee table I wanted there that was about $200, so I was hoping they still had it and I would get it with the $200 saved on the recliner, but they no longer have it, darn.
Work was a half day and then we had a holiday lunch and party and got our bonus checks $1500 net (so really over $2100 total). Dd and I went thru the drive through at Taco Time this evening (the trip to purchase the recliner pretty much took away my dinner making time) and the girl tells us that the car in front of us paid for our order! So we paid for the order on the car behind us :-) Would love to know if it kept going forward or not. I've heard of people doing that, but it's never happened to me before.
nice bonus! and nice of you to pay it forward like that
ReplyDeleteHa! That was so nice of people paying for your order. Small acts of goodness are just so neat to see and actually have happen. I hope the person behind you kept the ball rolling!
ReplyDelete(And wow, congrats on that bonus and getting the sofa 50% off! So lucky!)
Score on the recliner! Awesome!! :) That was nice that your order was paid for and that you returned the favour!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great day indeed! I love the fact that a total stranger bought you dinner and, next time I'm in the drive thru, I'm gonna do the same for the people behind me just for kicks. I think that's so unexpectedly pleasant lol
ReplyDeleteQuest, Carla, Tanner & Louise - I know, it was such an unexpected surprise to have our dinner paid for! It has made me smile every time I think about it. I'm definitely going to do that for someone sometime soon. Everyone needs a little more happiness in their day :-)
