It's Friday night and my roommate
and I
feel like staying in. We've both had
a
tough week at work and decided to
have
a low-key evening. On my way
home, I
stopped at the video rental store and
rented a couple of movies. I got a new
release and a classic. I
thought I
had left my membership card at
home
but found it at the last minute. I like
going to my local rental store because it
doesn't
charge late fees. That's
handy
when I don't have time to return the DVDs the
next
day.
My roommate and I were
feeling
too tired to go out to eat so we
decided
to order in. We mulled over the
take-out menus from restaurants
that
had delivery service and couldn't
decide
which restaurant to order from. The
trouble
was that we had never eaten at the two
restaurants nearby. Ordering from either one
would be crapshoot. In the end, we
just
decided to order a pizza. I called the
restaurant
and placed our delivery order.
About
a half hour later, the delivery person came to
the
door. I asked him if I could pay with a credit
card
and he said, "Sure." I handed him my card
and he
wrote down the number. Then, I signed the
slip and I added a tip to
the
total. He gave me a copy of the slip as a
receipt
and then handed me the pizza. I was really
glad to
get it. I was starving.
With
our movies and the pizza, we were all
set.
There's nothing like a night at home
vegging
out to get over a hectic
week.
