Now our 15-person team gets to figure out how to use a certificate for a dinner for two at Texas de Brazil. That should be interesting. I imagine the Nuh-Uh Girl is composing a long list of reasons why she should get one of the dinners.
LivingSocial’s deal of the day is a half-off deal at the Silly Goose.
