Live like you're paying with a gift card


So, Sarah and I were going to go eat food at a restaurant. It is called RingSide on W. Burnside. They have wonderful, bloody steaks and a huge wine selection. We have a gift card to RingSide. For once, I reminded Sarah of an important detail; "Make sure we have the gift card." We got to the restaurant, enjoyed valet parking, and had a wonderful meal. She had the halibut and I had prime rib. They have horseradish there that is real horseradish. Straight horseradish, it was great. Plus, the steak was good. It came time to pay the bill and, viola, no gift card. Oops. Don't tell Sarah, I don't think she will read this, I am happy that we paid with the debit card, because we have to go back a second time and use the gift card. Bottom line: Live each day like you're paying with a gift card, but remember, you might forget the gift card every once in a while.

oops! I'm pretty sure the last time we hung out with you, we planned on going to the movies with our gift cards too...and they were the wrong theater. Bad gift card luck I guess.
