I am picking up Laura at 5pm and we are heading to Applebee’s. I always get completely lost in Lagrange and Laura has to be my copilot. It is a complete maze of one-way streets and traffic lights.
“Can we get dessert?” Laura asked me last night excitably almost pleadingly.
“We can if we get one of the $8.99 gourmet burger plates and no steaks,” I replied.
I am going to be cheap and get the $7.99 “classic” burger plate instead of one of their other frou frou specialty burgers. I will have only $40 to spend this evening I suspect. It is going to depend on whether or not my father is in a generous mood this afternoon. He insists lately on paying for these little outings out of his pocket. “Live within your means,” I can hear him say now as he has always done over the years.
The photo is Applebee’s triple chocolate meltdown. That is the dessert I have decided on getting this evening. It is kind of expensive at $6.49, but you only live once. If I don’t' have enough money, then we are headed to the Dairy Queen for some hot fudge sundaes which are completely inexpensive in comparison.

Does applebees still have their 2 for $20? used to be able to get an appetizers, two entrees ( limited list but still )and dessert for $20
Splurging is okay every now and then. :) I'm usually a total cheap-o but the monotony can get to me.
Why is it that you have to pay for everything?
