Good Morning Ladies - I would ask if you have the day off but I am the the only cubbie job here! Yes I have it off, and tomorrow! - After this small break I won't have a break for awhile, so I am enjoying the heck out of it.
BLUE- I had to google King Skinflints. I thought that was very funny actually he would say that to you! The MISER of spending and trying to get a meal or service for nothing! HAHAHAH Your hubby has a dry sense of humor! Very sweet!
I don't google everything- Like when LEEANN said she was going to the Sloth Sanctuary I just figured she was coming to se ME!!!
There is nothing wrong with saving pennies. I had a friend that said always pick up change you find, even if it's a penny. Pennies make dimes and dimes make dollars! I always hear that in my head when I find a penny. But I also think of pennies out the door- stupid spending.
I like you am saving every dollar right now. I have been actually been making monthly and weekly budgets. I need move money- so every dollar matters.
It's amazing to find the different between want and need.
Have you gone back to that place that that you get free appetizers if you order a drink? Now see I would be all over that!
What does your week look like? Any projects at work or in the house? How you deal with all that cold and snow is beyond me. I am so ready for Spring!
YAY for being on plan! Now I am curious about your protein powder. I bought a full can I haven't even opened because sweetener in it gave me tummy trouble. I am glad it's working for you! Again I have dairy envy! It makes LC so workable to add even a little cream here or there taste so much better. Sighhhhh- it is what it is!
Lori- speaking of tummy trouble, I read your "chili" list and my tummy hurt reading it! Wow- I will leave it at that. I have found that the older I get the less and less my body likes certain foods.
Agreed- bootcamp will be there tomorrow! WOW, your friend did great! You said she is in her 50's too right? Where is she from? Is she the Scotland lady? Speaking of, I know you are going to do great. Just as I have written about, small manageable steps. We don't eat the elephant all in one gulp. Or climb the mountain in your case!
You working this week?
TRIG- GIRL I am with ya on the cold. I obviously did not move south enough. If it were not for family here I would be in Florida.
I know WHY you bought that swim suit!!!!! You have mentally gone there- WARM WEATHER!
As far as travel, I am even less inspired to go to somewhere for the sake of "because it's there". Grand Canyon- it's a big hole in the earth. No desire. However I would love to go to the off the beaten path kinda places. But like you- it requires no baggage! Oh and money!!! HAHAHAHAHAH Fun to dream about though.
Sorry to here about the hubby down for the count. Really watch that- the flu this year is nothing to ignore!!!!! Hoping you and the kiddo stays healthy. Get some meds onboard right away- and lysol! Chicken broth too!
Kmom- I know you are super busy with your family this weekend!
Leeann- Talk about the travel bug- you got it bad! Do you collect anything when you go to a new state? My son like to get magnets from the states he visits. (see my post to BLUE- coming to see me! ) hahahah
Thanks again for that great idea about the BNB! I hope to not need it. It is plan B, but at least I have one now!
How is the Y going for you? Do you like to do your own thing or classes? Speaking of fun working out- my son plays Pickle ball every week with his church group. He ask if I ever heard of it- I could tell him YES I HAVE!
What on your menu for the week? You still liking your warming stick? Can you use it for veggies too? It's mainly for meat right?
I googled it- now I am getting ads like crazy to buy one!
------------------------------------------------------------------
I was on my computer all day to the point I woke up with a sore neck! Oh well.
So I as well as my classmates got blasted in an announcement from our instructor that we all wrote terrible first papers and did we not know this is a DOCTORAL LEVEL- and the expectations are as follows: Blah blah blah - put in the Charlie Brown teachers speaking here! HAHAHAHAHAH- Ya so....... First paper- cut me a break. I found it rather amusing actually, believe it or not.
Academic snobs..........
Speaking of, I just need a tweak on my paper for this week and I am submitting it. If I get outta this thing with a B I will be fine. I am not out to impress. I have life outside of this. I really don't - but I SHOULD!!!
My chicken wings were really good! I also made a WEDGE salad. Remember those! So filling and almost carb free! It was really really good and a perfect side! I did use real blue cheese on it, and bacon crumbles that were still warm! (yes my tummy hates blue cheese).
Today is ribs- going to my mom's and we are going to a BBQ joint that is supposed to be the best in her area. We will see. I count find the menu online. I don't like sauces as they are packed with sugar. I liked smoked meats.
I don't think I am spending the night- I want my tomorrow morning to myself. Last day off for awhile. Stingy with my time. I will play it by ear.
Still feeling CaptD and left yesterdays affirmation on my white board! Will change it tomorrow. I like that.
Quick stop in Costco before I stop in at mom's- will get salmon, and these socks I love. Bought a pack of 4- they are lounge socks and the softest thing I have ever put on my feet. I want another pack. I also have already lost one sock- so now only have 3 pair. I wonder where all the lost socks go.
Bright sunshine and frekin COLD- 40's here all day. Tomorrow we will hit 50! BRING IT AND THEN SOME OK ladies have a great day.
