I Balance Out Free Food With My Gym Membership
When you're saving for furniture for your new place, you realize that you need to save every damn nickel and dime. I went out to browse the selection at various furniture stores a few weeks ago, and there's so many choices at so many prices. It makes your head hurt.
I know what I want as far as computers and electronics go, but furniture is so confusing. I want something contemporary, but not too "Swedish" (read: Ikea). I saw a bedroom set I liked at Ashley, but that's all I've really liked so far. Too many furniture stores have "traditional" (read: stuffy) furniture.
Right now, it seems like the recession is affecting restaurants, so they're offering mega-deals or free food. Last Wednesday, I picked up a $15 gift card to a sandwich place called Which Wich, even without having to test-drive a Scion.
That same day, I tried to take advantage of the $4.99 8-piece deal at Popeyes. However, you couldn't even get NEAR the damn place, it was so crowded. I sent a letter through the website saying as such, and I come home today to find a couple of coupons for 2 free 2-piece dinners. Now you know why I love that chicken.
Well, all the free and cheap food is fattening, and I needed to work that off. So, I signed up for a membership at the Y. We get a payroll deduction and discount at work, so why not take advantage of it? Plus, with over 30 locations around town, I can go work out wherever and whenever I feel like. And they don't play the Village People either.
Lastly, I'm finally getting around to getting a dish installed. Finally, I'm not stuck with Comcrapstic™ cable. And while there are some good shows with over-the-air digital television, you also find shows like Bibleman, where the bad guys are defeated by the aforementioned "superhero" quoting John 3:16 instead of using real sweet superpowers.
If anyone has suggestions for a good furniture store in Nashville, leave me a comment. I also want to see if the comments feature actually works.
