Ok, this one isn’t really silly so much as stupid. And it just happened.
Last night, we went to the grocery store. It was late, and we didn’t get all the bags empty. We made sure all the frozen stuff was put away, and all the cold stuff went to the fridge. Noodles, etc — still on the table.
As we were putting them away today, we found a “Smart One” frozen dinner that was poorly bagged. It was in with non-perishables, and so thawed out. Being the thrifty (read: Cheap) man that I am, I figured I should quickly cook and eat it, so the food wasn’t wasted. Yes yes, I know, that’s horribly gross. But really, it was early in the day, and we went shopping late last night.
Except, as Donna pointed out to me after I was half done, we actually didn’t go shopping last night. It was Thursday.
And my Smart One wasn’t supposed to taste quite so tangy. Yes, I’m feeling a bit sick. I’m thinking it will be funnier after the vomit that I suspect is coming shortly…
Oh, Shawn. First the icky McDonald’s, now this.
Next time you need lunch, send me a note and I will PayPal you five dollars.
Really.
Ok, seriously… when frugality leads to vomiting I think you may need a support group 🙂 Is there one? Maybe you could start it 🙂
lol @ Janiece.
me too… count me in for five bucks. I think I may sympathy vomit for you.
It’s pretty ironic that the dinner thing was called “Smart One”.
I’ll dig through the couch. I’m sure there’s at least 38¢ in there.
Shawn,
I just wanted to say YAY for taking out medicine every day this week.
I’ve been paying attention–so don’t think you can start slacking!
hee hee! Kari cracked me up.
On a more serious note, I hope you’re doing OK, Shawn!
To the day I’m amazed what boys will eat (ahem, Richard — ahem, Shawn).
Well, I don’t think I’d eat Soylent Green or anything, but yeah, I’m pretty easy to please in the palate.

Well, it was smarter than the guy who ate it…
For the record, Kari is one of the teens from my youth group, and I’m very impressed with her snark.
Well played, Kari. 😉
Well, thanks Shawn. I learned from the best! 🙂
