So. Jay got paid yesterday - early. He usually gets paid on Friday.

We'd told Peepers that we would go eat at the Aquarium Restaurant in Opry Mill Mall so that she can look at the fish. Told her that last week.

Jay came home starving and insisted on Sushi. IDK what planet he's been living on today, but we ended up spending $100 just on lunch. And of course, P & I had a ton of leftovers.

Sooo then he was like "Do we -have- to go eat dinner?" and I was like "....No. We don't -have- to, but we promised my chirren last week that we would take her."

Yeah -that- bill ended up being nearly $90 after tip - and we'd only gotten a couple of appetizers, soup, P's kiddie meal, and I got a side salad. Oh, and our drinks. Again, lots of leftovers. Surprisingly, it was a good meal. And Parker was completely fascinated with all the fish. Too bad they don't have the Stingray Bay anymore where you can pet & feed the Stingrays. They chose not to replace it after the flood in 2010.

I'd eaten at the Rainforest Cafe a few years ago and really didn't like it - it was noisy & the food wasn't all it's cracked up to be.

It was odd though. I hadn't been to Opry Mills since before the flood and it just re-opened like last Summer. There's now more high end factory outlets - Coach, BCBG, Calvin Klein, and a few others. H&M is opening a store there this coming week, too, so that's exciting.

Anywho.. He's getting another $500 tomorrow from what someone owes him so we're not -too- bad off, it's just that we've got some unexpected expenses we're gonna have to pay for and -that- is like $600. We're not totally broke yet... Just gotta cut back on some stuff. Like food. NO MORE EATING THIS MONTH! lulz. I kid. I kid. He'd probably die.

But anywho, I'm exhausted. It's a freaking hour drive from Clarksville to Nashville. It sucks a lot. I hate this place. And I'm gonna be freaking stuck here for another like 2 years.

On the plus side, Jay's not getting Stop Lossed or going to be forced into deployment again... He's just not gonna get out early like everyone else is. Yay. There's also the possibility of the roomie coming home from Afghanistan before Giftmas, so we should probably stay here 'cuz he's thinking about going to Austin Peay (gag - waste of money. Whatever). I told him if he's moving back in with us, no more sleeping on the couch 'cuz that's just weird and my daughter'll be here and that'll be even weirder. He's had his own room and sleeps on the couch instead. The couch that I -really- wanna get rid of when we move into a new place. I hate sectionals.

Annnnd it's off to get drunk now. Hopefully. woo. Ballin'.
