We are trying to not eat out as much so we cooked breakfast this morning when we normally go out to breakfast on sunday mornings.
I cooked eggs over easy(turned out over cooked) and toast not toasted due to not being plugged in..sigh.. banana, v8 juice, veggie sausage pattie (over cooked in micro)...well we still were able to eat together, timing eggs and toast is tricky...I know this sounds lame...but we are not used to cooking breakfast! Last night I cooked up some preseasoned catfish in olive oil and fish fry and made up some crawfish ettoufe with onions and peppers and celery and hot sauce and cream of mush room soup and a stick of butter that is served over rice. hubby worked very hard out side and wanted to treat him.
tonight we are cooking out with some friends of ours at their house and are bringing a salad and chicken to put on their grill.We have not seen them in a couple of weeks since we and they were out of town.
hubby finished caulking the new hardy plank he installed trim pieces on the shed, it looks great! now it needs to be painted.oh I forgot...there are a couple of boards that need to be replaced...16 feet long! he will need help doing that.
I should do a little cleaning around the house, maybe take a wet swifter to my kitchen floor.
that sounds doable.

I'm working on trying to make myself want to cook. But hubby cooks alot.

So when I want to eat I get too. Heehee.

We are having Pork Chops tonight. Not sure what else yet. Thinking
maybe I'll make Rice or mashed potatoes.

well I picked up some fresh strawberries and blueberries....they look great!
fresh fruit is expensive! they say to look at it like insurance...eat well now or pay for it later in life.

In FL today. Thunderstorms surround. Temp 95, humidity 81. Staying in my cave.

How do I show my mood?

at the top of the page that you are on should be my mood icon under the underlined private messages link.click on it and scroll down the box to pick a mood. hope this makes sense.

I don't see an icon. Just:

My Mood: Change Mood.

I click on Change Mood, a menu drops down, but the only choice on it is No Mood. Not a biggie. I thought it came along with status change or something, but then I noticed newbies using it. You're getting to know me: I like my toys <grin>!

ROFLOLOL!!!

ENJOY those blueberries and strawberries Bizi!!!

i love swiffers. precisely because they are doable.

although i liked the old Johnson and Johnson model better, before the other ppl came along with the spiffy name "Swiffer" and ripped their market right from under.

but swiffers are cool. i have not done one wet. i wash floor on hands and knees. i get too frustrated with tightspots otherwise.

MP is much easier on iPad because of the larger "play" area. Oh, get it, do! Such fun, so relaxing!

I did the check book tonight and it does not look good.
It is like we were manic this summer and spent and spent on food and going out to eat. the trip to IN was expensive this year.
and my business is down...I contacted www.seizethedeal.com
business to try to use their marketing campaign to get more clients but they have yet to contact me...and I did not find a phone number to call them.
It is a way to obtain new clients they pay half price for your services and you pay a commission to the company so no upfront costs and potentially a lot of new clients with repeat potential. I am going to try to pack a lunch this week and save some money.
When I add up our regular bills it is just plain expensive to live.
I went to the grocery store to pick up some meat and groceries and spent almost $100. for a few bags!I was proud of myself for not drinking tonight...I usually end up drinking while doing the check book...alcohol is a big expense at our house so I am trying to cut back on that too.I have raised the thermostat so that it is not as cool. lowered our homeowners insurance, trying to change phone services, cell phones and internet provider plus utilities is $400 a month, mortgage is $1208(includes home owners insurance and taxes), student loans $700, our retirement plans $750, car insurance, $126, dry cleaners $120, gym member ship, $60, newspaper, $14, e music $12, health insurance $450, prescriptions $100, therapy visits, $15, dermatology appointments $25 every 2 months, pdoc visits $95(once every 3 months), vitamins $20, lawn care $80-$120 a month, hair cuts and colors, $60. and this does account for gasoline or food costs or entertainment, alcohol, clothing which we are not shoppers. car repairs, shed repairs, liability insurance $350 for the year, RN license, $80, $500 quarterly irs taxes, voice mail pager, $140 for the year, it is expensive to just live.
