Free Meals are always a highlight of a long weekend

Between work, making donations, shopping for groomsmen outfits, four loads of laundry, clipping and organizing my Sunday coupons, putting together this weeks deals and shopping trips and a surprise bridal shower I was exhausted by the time I got home last night. Thankfully while I was hiding in the corner at the bridal shower to avoid the wrath of the unsuspecting bride who "did not want a bridal shower", the bf went over to the garden and took care of all of the compost which was starting to take over the fridge as we had developed so much this week.

After our Saturday evening of shopping for groomsmen outfits we decided to grab dinner at UNO's Chicago Grill with the bride and groom. I, of course, was prepared with my $5 off coupon, but there was no need as our entire meal ended up being comped. My dear Jamie gracefully took one for the team when she unexpectedly chomped down on a piece of porcelain in her soup. OUCH! She was thankfully without injury and the manager took her entire meal off the bill on the spot. After our entrees had come out and the manager came back to check on us we informed him that he may also want to discard of another broken dish that the groom's meal came out in as it was missing almost half of one side. He came back to inform us that our entire meal was on the house - drinks and all!
