Well I've been on 3 grocery shopping trips so far this week-two trips to the local grocery stores and one trip to the bread outlet. The highest total was $29 something, the lowest $11 and I've let $50+ out of my wallet.
Not bad considering and the food budget is not blown....yet! ;-)
The meal plan is sort of working so far this week too.
Both Daughter and BF have gotten jobs already. Daughter went out Monday and applied to 2 places and by that evening she had a job offer at one. It's just a part time job as she will be starting back to college in August.
The BF went out yesterday to 1 place and they hired him on the spot. It's the same work he was doing in LA and the same sort of facility. The guy was shocked that someone walked off the street with his experience to apply for a job there. I guess that doesn't happen much as it's specialized work that they usually have to train applicants to perform.
This was the first job BF has gotten on his own, his previous job he got through his dad so I think he's a bit chuffed over all this. 8-)
And BF started work this morning already!
I've been doing a bit of granddog sitting as Daughter and BF have been on the go almost every day since they got here.
The dog has been spending a lot of time waiting at doors and whining.....I HATE whining!! lolz
She's s big dog and Husky mix so she likes to PULL.
Grandma here is having hard time with her. The poor dog needs more exercise than she is getting and is bored to boot. I've got to come up with a way to occupy her a bit more.
And she needs training.......she has my Daughter trained instead of the other way around. sigh
Daughter and BF went out to buy BF some lunch foods and breakfast sandwiches for the mornings he works.
I came down this morning to this sight.......
That's a grocery receipt in my wastebasket.
This makes me sad.........
Ok, I've got to go start making my homemade enchilada sauce for tonight's chicken enchilada.
It's a process people. lolz
Then it's back to the dining room to go through the last 2 boxes of papers.
What are you up to today?
