A Grab Bag of Stuff -- including Cheap Tacos!

Whoo hoo... not only did the Nuggets win Game #2 of the playoffs (go, Nuggies!), but the Rockies also beat Atlanta 9-0. That means 4 tacos at Taco Bell for a bright shiny buck, if you buy a drink, and order between 4-6 p.m. (If you ask for the Nuggets special, you only get 3 tacos...so make sure you mention the Rockies special instead.)

Half of Colorado is going to be munching on tacos Friday night!

A very interesting post on the value of mending, from Lean Times:

Free Money Finance talks about the worst thing that's ever happened to him, financially. Don't miss the comments, either:

He probably was inspired by the Wall Street Journal covering the same subject:

And buy one of Wendy's new coffee-flavored "Frosty-cino" or Frosties...get one free:

I had one of of the Frosty-cinos Tuesday night...really, surprisingly good. And very refreshing on a steamy summer night.

Except now we're back in spring again. It's raining (hooray! It rarely rains around here), and I popped in the Harison's yellow rose I just got from High Country Roses in Utah, along with a catmint, a beautifully little white rose I got from Daughter #2 for Mother's Day, and some other odds and ends. Came in soaked, with the boys puzzled. ("Mom, don't you know enough to come in out of the... ?")
So our normally-hot Memorial Day weekend is going to be anything but. It will be chilly tomorrow for our friend Alex's high school graduation ceremony --

Atta boy, Bud! Congratulations!!!
