This ad online just struck me as odd. I see the Plan B pill as emergency contraceptive. An emergency contraceptive - something I wouldn't keep on hand or have on my shopping list. I guess that's why the "Save $10" part seems so odd.

All The Single Ladies
Can’t you just hear Beyonce singing? Or…maybe it’s just me. Whatever, that’s fine. A few weeks ago I was at the library chatting with my librarian friend, and knowing I was single she asked if I had plans for the Valentine’s Day weekend. I said no, so she asked if I’d go on a speed-dating outing with her. I don’t really know the details, other than the R-Line is involved, taking people from place to place. When she asked if I’d go, I tried to not have a deer-in-headlights look and to just laugh it off. I can’t imagine such an incident to be fun. Although I am always yelling how does one meet people when you’re my age, but that’s not really what I had in mind. I mentioned it to GirlRoommate who thought it would be fun. Yeah, easy to say when you’re not going. GuyRoommate’s on my side about this….what kind of guys am I really going to meet? I have a type in mind, and trust me folks, not what I’m looking for.
Anyways, one day the topic came up during a conversation with two of my single female friends, and they’re all excited. WTH?! Really? Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with it, and who knows, I may someday actually try it and end up meeting Mr. Wonderful. But the pressing issue for my friends is so that they’ll have something to do for Valentine’s Day. Oh dear God no, I can’t do nothing on Valentine’s Day. I can’t be single and alone on Valentine’s Day! Who actually cares about Valentine’s Day? Aside from Hallmark I mean. It’s one holiday I’ve never cared for. Now don’t get me wrong, any Valentine’s Day that I have been with someone I’ve always appreciated the gestures (who doesn’t like presents!), but I’d rather have those gestures as a spontaneous show of affection, rather than because you can read a calendar. Two years ago when Burger and I were together for VDay, I begged not to go out…let’s make dinner at home, watch a movie, and snuggle on the couch. That was all I wanted. But no, “you’re supposed to go out on Valentine’s Day” so we did. Yay.
In other exciting news, I’m going skiing! Oh my gosh, I am going to die haha! We’re going at the end of the month, a big group of us, up to Snowshoe, West Virginia. I’m sure it’s going to be a lot of fun. I did take skiing as one of my PE classes when I was up at App. That was my freshman year, and then I skied one time after that my sophomore year, and that’s it. I just haven’t been since. I have actually purchased some boots and skis. They were $75 total. Thank God that little 13 year old girl outgrew them so I could get them. And yay for craigslist! Now I know that you’re thinking, geez Kim that’s an awfully expensive activity and didn’t you just bitch about money? Yes and Yes. Another reason to not go out on the speed-dating activity, and no, no I will not be going out to lunch, or dinner, any time soon. Thanks for the invite though!

My Money
Yes, I know you're supposed to budget, and I always say that I should, but yeah, that never happens. Well tonight I decided to sit down and just take a look at where my money's going. One thing is obvious, this girl likes to eat. I included Wal-Mart & Target in the "grocery & stuff" heading because I will grab foodstuff there when I'm out. My "other" column is more clothes, my Christmas shopping, but nothing I could eat or drink, and not gas. I should take a bigger look at that column so I can break it down more, offhand I know there's a trip to the driving range, but I have not bought much to wear recently, so I'm not sure what's up.
