There's just something about having to actually pull out our credit card and pay for a meal that Christi and I hate. Don't get me wrong, we're not going to dine and dash or anything ... we're just lazy. With this, we started to play a game every time that we go out to eat. Before the bill comes we will both come up with what we think the total will be. Whoever comes closest does not have to pay.

This has been going on since we lived in Colorado and neither one of us has every guessed a total down to the correct cent. Christi is much better and is usually within fifty cents or so. When you think about guessing prices for drinks, tax, etc., that's pretty amazing. I even had a time where I guessed it perfectly, and then changed my answer at the last second and was kicking myself for being wrong (and actually letting Christi win that one).

So why all the build up? You guessed it ... or I guessed it, rather. We went down to Ikea to buy a kitchen island over the weekend and decided to explore and find a place on the beach to have lunch. We found a nice little cozy place and after a few beers and a few plates of fish and chips, our destiny was staring us in the face. There it was. The same leather folder bulging with a stolen pen in the middle awaiting our signature.

Christi shot low, $32.93, trying to secure the "Price is Right" tiebreaker. I decided to go for it and just shoot out a number: $39.20. I can't say the anticipation was killing us since we usually just want to get it over with and get out of the restaurant, but we opened it up and I couldn't believe it. $39.20. It's such a small thing to get excited about, but the odds of guessing the exact price is pretty tough. Really, it is. Try it out sometime.
