Week Past 01/07-01/13/08
This week gas prices soared again to $3.00 ++. It's been steady at $2.75 to $2.85 for a couple of weeks. A year ago it even went down to $1.85. That's an increase of dollar per gallon. Ouch, and we're slowly heading into a recession. The dollar is really getting a beating.
Sun 01/13 after mass W and I went to an Italian restaurantBuca di Beppo at Burnsville for lunch having received from the mail a $10 gift certificate for their promo. It's been over a year since our last visit. Their servings are huge, filling and carbo loaded. We discovered this time they've changed their menu. You have more options in terms of serving sizes but its still filling. This company is still trying to survive its financial difficulties since its former head made a bad judgement. They are trying everything to attract customers. There was a time when you have to make reservations for dinner or you have to wait in line for quite a while.

Since we haven't been in the area for over a year we noticed a new store named "Unique" across the parking lot that's attracting a number of shoppers. We checked it after lunch and found that it's a second hand store although there also new items on sale. A bargain hunter's paradise. In their book section I found and bought "The Purpose Driven Life" priced at $2.91. It's still looks new. I have been planning on buying the book for years but it was not on top of my list. And there it was staring at me (actually there were two) asking what are you waiting for? Just the thing I need to read in time for Lent. It was meant to be. Thank you.
