Here are some thoughts on this dreary Monday....
I feel like I've been sleeping for 3 days nonstop. I blame all the rain. I am now getting congested it's gone on so long. I don't even feel like working on any scenarios or chasing any deals. If I get the urge I just go look in my living room at the boxes of stuff I am taking to the flea market next month....that cures me right fast!
I have decided that nothing smells worse than 3 days of wet dog....
I stayed out of the grocery stores again last week. Except for that little spurt a week ago Friday at Price Chopper and on Saturday at Weis and the local independent market, I have NOT done any shopping for 21 days out of the last 23 days. And I am too lethargic to want to go.
I need a doctor and fast!lol
Hubby has bought milk, celery, eggs and cheese last week-most of it at Walmart of all places!lol(PS-I don't shop at Walmart but DH thinks it's the "bee's knees".)
I watched reruns of the TLC Hoarders:Buried Alive Show on Sunday evening. I saw one I had missed when they first ran it. This unmarried woman(mid 40's I think)had moved back in with her widowed mother and had filled this large home with her crap. Among the things she 'collected'?.....Fabric.
Yikes!
That hit a little too close to home for me.... ;-)
I've been plodding along with the eBay stuff. No weirdos, scammers or non-payers last week....yeah! With the rain and my lethargy I am struggling getting stuff listed and sorted out. I did get another load together for Sallie's however and I've been fairly productive this morning having written up listings for a box+ worth of stuff.
What can be more frugal than to stay home, not spend money and actually make money? If this is true then I am the Goddess of Frugality lately....
I need to get my Meal Plan going for the week. I made up 28 Manicotti yesterday. Fixed half for dinner and froze the other 14 for later. Today I pulled out pork chops and I'll pan saute them and make a plum sauce, serving them with the last of the Stove Top boxes and whatever frozen veggie the kids pull out of the freezer later today.
Oh, and I am so making that peanut butter & chocolate crock pot cake/pie/thing that Mommy The Coupon Hunter made and talked about on her blog! Don't even go look unless you want to gain 10lbs. from reading the recipe.lol
And I found this guy in my boxes--anybody remember this guy? Of course you will be gracious friends and refrain from looking at my messy desk behind him.....
Who remembers what 3 things you can't do in regards to a Gremlin? 8-)
If this is true, I think I am a gremlin....
So what is everyone else up to today?
Me?....I'm growing moss on my northern facing parts.
Sluggy
We've had a lot of rainy, cloudy days lately, too. But hey, our rain tanks are all full again!
ReplyDeleteI used to stuff and freeze manicotti all the time. I haven't done it in ages, but I need to get some and make them again.
Don't forget to do a 180 so you get even coverage with that moss. ;)
I thinking Hoarding is one of the best shows ever! I love it and it has the same effect on me. If I had my way, I would get rid of half of our stuff. But this suggestion never goes over with the people that I live with. Why?
ReplyDeleteLOL! I love Gizmo! I can only think of 2 things you can't do to gremlins: you can't get them wet and don't feed them after midnight. I didn't know there was a 3rd thing.
ReplyDeleteIt is sunny and beautiful here. I wish I were at home in bed.....and it was raining.
I love to watch the hoarding show. It makes me think of what needs to go in our house. You do sound like the Goddess of Frugality. : )
