Saturday Stuff

January 14th, 2012 at 08:41 pm

This morning we went out for breakfast at our favorite hole-in-the-wall cafe. $46.
DH loves their ham and cheese omelets. They have the best Eggs Benedict out of all the places I've been. Their coffee is very good also and the service is excellent.
It was a great way to start the weekend. Smile

I just applied, and was approved, for another credit card. This is the AmEx that is offering $250 in gift cards after $1k of spending in three months. I am hoping I can find enough places that I routinely use that will take the AmEx. Costco will, hopefully Safeway too. Just couldn't pass up $250 reward.

If I can I will get gift cards for Home Depot, Macy's or Amazon. That way I can use the "free" money for stuff for the bathroom. Towels, towel bars, sink faucet, etc..

The new shower hardware came yesterday. Fast shipping! It only took three days! DH put it all in this morning and it does look very nice. However, we aren't sure how well the handles are going to work out. You have to turn them off very tightly, otherwise it drips water. Really tightly; like it hurts my hand to try to turn them. Frown

Disappointed about that.

DH is going to call a plumber friend and find out what our options are to correct that.

Such a pain that we didn't know that we should have changed the valves to a single control before we closed up the wall and tiled. Blah!

There is a two handled Kohler set I REALLY like.
Unfortunately -
1. It does not come in oil rubbed bronze.
2. It's about $450.

The 49ers play the Saints today in about an hour. The afternoon will be spent watching football. Smile
When the 49ers win I will add $20 to the EF.

Go niners!

    What's the name of that Amex card? That sounds pretty good. I feel the same way, mildly surprised, each time I get approved for yet another card. I'm on my 4th now! My credit score has only gone up. I will eventually cancel some of the cards, but since my score hasn't budged, I figure, why mess with a good thing.

    $46 for breakfast? At a "hole-in-the-wall"?? ::::thud::: Me thinks you got ripped off. I got dinner for 2 for less than that, with plenty of leftovers.

    Patientsaver: It's the Gold AmEx. And I will cancel it after I get my rewards. It has an annual fee. It is waived for the first year.

    ME2: It was breakfast for four plus the tip. I hear ya though, and we don't eat there because it's the cheapest place we can find - we go there as a special treat. It also happens to be in a very wealthy area (Marin County, CA). Although my AMAZING eggs benedict was $10.95 which is a pretty standard price for anywhere around here.
