Beer and Pizza time again, where does the week go?

A highlight of our day so far:

woke up to the absence of screaming, shrieking, or emergency vehicles. Decided that the house could run without me a while longer. Went back to sleep.

Woke up again. Suspiciously quiet. Ventured out of bed to find a toddler happily watching PBS and husband happily gaming.

After cleaning the kitchen and beginning to tackle the laundry Situation (3 loads clean to put away, 2 loads dirty to wash, an untold amount of stuff that cannot be identified as one or the other due to toddler learning how to pull out her clean clothes and built a nest in them).

Went to the store to get milk, cheese, pepperoni- the key things for a successful Friday Pizza/Beer event. It's been french bread pizzas for weeks now and I'm starting to like it a lot better than the cardboard box delivery stuff. I don't have to look at the remnants of the pizza, it's hot in the toaster by the plate, doesn't take much to make it and best of all it's about a third the price of a standard delivery. Today that's even cheaper: 68 cents a loaf for french bread at walmart (on sale, fresh baked), the cheese is 1.66 a bag (it'll last maybe until tomorrow's breakfast, we're heavy on cheese around here), pepperoni for 2 dollars a bag (it will last two weeks or more) and canned tomatoes (62cents a can) drained and seasoned up with basil that I've grown on the windowsill.

All told this pizza night is 6.26. That's using all the bread, cheese, pepperoni, 2 cans tomatoes. The beer is for the Boy; Amber Bock at 4.97 plus CRV. Just under 12 bucks for the whole night. I think that's a pretty good bargain.
