Hello!
Well it's that time of the year, the time where the schools of my girls start asking for money left and right. I know, schools have a difficult times these days trying to get money for whatever project they have, but for crying out loud it's not like I make millions. Take the school of my youngest, they just send us the memo informing us that we have to sell oranges/grapefruits to help raise funds for some project or other. Yeah, I've sold 20 pounds of oranges to my mother so far and I still got to hit my youngest and oldest brother as well as my mother-in-law, my sister-in-law and I will buy at least 40 pounds worth of oranges. So I expect to sell about $100 dollars worth of oranges. And that's my youngest one! My oldest one?! Holy cow, we have a trip to China to finance and they just send us three booklets that we must sell so that the school can have funds for activities during the year. The booklet consists of coupons that saves money in different stores, every booklet is $20 dollars, so there's 60 bucks more to add to the trip to China. But you know what the problem is? In general I always end up buying the booklets, the oranges, the spaghetti, the pupucaca that must be purchased... Yeah, my daughters don't like to go out and sell stuff, so mom and pop have to buy whatever they are selling...
Yesterday night was pizza night, we got a hold of the special deal of Tuesday: 2 pizzas, a 2 L coke for $20 dollars. But it's just a gimmick people, at the end of the ordering process I had to dish out $43 dollars because I ordered additional stuff: hot fudge lava cakes (two bucks a piece) and the guy was nice enough to offer french fries... Well, I'm the type of person that can't say no, so I got some. And how was my experience? Let me put it to you this way, next time I order from that place I'll be sure to include french fries again, they were super delicious people!
That's it for me, take care folks!
