After vacuuming, steam-cleaning the kitchen floor, changing the sheets, and doing several loads of wash, I left the house planning to drive through two banks before meeting Emily for lunch and shopping. Good grief! I was not prepared for 19 degrees. I was only wearing a long-sleeve t-shirt, down vest, and scarf. Needless to say, after the bank runs I returned home to add a sweater to my layers.
One of the few unnecessary outings that'll get me out of the house when it's this cold is a trip to the local JoAnn store. As a teacher Emily always gets 10% off her entire purchase. But today teachers got 20% off. Since I usually only purchase sale or clearance items to begin with, getting an additional 20% off is outstanding. Plus today we got $10 gift cards for every $50 we spent. I'm sure someone has worked this all out. But I have to wonder -- how in the heck do they make any money!
