Today is the First day of Ayyám-I-Há

Istijlál (Majesty), 1 Ayyám-I-Há (Intercalary), 165 BE – Thursday, February 26, 2009 about 2:41 PM Pacific Time

Today is the first day of Ayyám-I-Há and I did the dishes for my mother. I also order a Coffee Bean Mill with the Gift Points I had in my Homescan account. The mill should arrive around Mom's birthday, at least I hope it does. I will then get a pound of coffee beans and we will grind our own coffee.

I know buying coffee that is already ground is a little cheaper then buying the beans. However, I like grinding my coffee myself. I'm not sure what type of coffee beans I will get just yet. When I buy them, I will go to a specialty coffee shop and see what is offered. It's been a long time since I bought a pound of coffee beans.

I have a small coffee grinder in one of the cupboards, but it doesn't grind very many beans at a time. I thought about saving the GPs for something else, but decided that the coffee bean mill was something I wouldn't go out and spend actual cash for. This is why I like to do surveys, I can get merchandise from some of the sites. This lets me get items I wouldn't take the cash to get myself or my mother.
