I scored a new lounging robe, some new earrings that I've been needing, a couple of shirts, plenty of candy, and for the guy part, a set of sockets (to replace the set that vanished in the garage, *cough*), a yard bag holder and a chainsaw. She must be hinting that she would like some felling and bucking done.

She scored an electric can opener (we've been using a manual version and her arthritis hurts her too much), two Groupons (she loves those), and a big ole food dehydrator so she can make her own treats like jerky and banana chips.

We're happy.

And this on top of my finally being able to finish the house skirting project with the money that we would have spent on each other. Being poor sucks but at least we'll be comfortable!
