Scored free ice cream!

September 18th, 2011 at 10:45 pm

So, I was all bummed that the "Pint for a Pint" Baskin Robins promotion was over last I gave blood.

So, how random is this? I find a "pint for a pint" coupon in my purse. I checked for a date (because lord knows how long it has been there!) and it has some 2010 copyright, but no expiration date.

Dh redeemed it for me. Big Grin

I get a pint of ice cream after all! Wild and reckless sherbert. YUM.

No idea where mystery coupon came from... Maybe from another time I gave blood?

---------------------------------------------------

Yesterday was so busy. But, it was a nice day. I even snuck in a nap. Aaaaahhhhh.

We went to opening ceremony for new fire station. I had not realized all the creative thinking and community teamwork it had taken to get this open. Depending on the day, they can't decide if we are a 100-year flood zone or a 10-year(?) flood zone. At current we have a building moratorium while levees are repaired. Anyway, I've mentioned before - it's all POLITICS. Whatever the truth is, it's buried among all the politics.

Anyway, in order to get the fire station built, they had to change it to a 2-story structure - the first story being little more than "warehouse" and 20 feet high. But they are able to at least store the fire trucks on the first level (no idea how that part works). They showed us some spaces where they thought ahead and hope to turn into a gym, etc., on the lower floors, eventually - once all this straightens out.

The fire station is very cool - some pretty neat state of the art stuff. I am so glad we went.

This is why I love our community though. People get things done. No obstacle seems too big.

Anyway, BM had a soccer game. Drove 50 miles for a birthday celebration and drop some things off with my dad. Today I played tennis and went shopping (topped off Kohls gift card - got some pants for work). This afternoon I rest and do nothing!

    Sweet indeed. Our neighborhood fire house is also in the midst of being rebuilt, including a sculpture that will indicate if the firemen are out on call. I follow it both on my walk and on our neighborhood micro-blog. If there's a tour, I'm planning on taking it.

    Its funny, though, that despite the project being approved and essentially funded with 2004 money, there's always someone thinking that the money is being misspent. (As if by definition all money is misspent if it doesn't go to the curmugdeon. Big Grin)
