I am going to update each week in July on my food spending. After the last 2 months of going over, maybe this will help me stay on track more if all of y'all are watching me.....watching me in a good way, not the bad, creepy way. ;-)
In the 2nd 7 days of July I made NO trips to the grocery store!
No trips to the store between July 3rd and 14th and we've been eating from the stockpile so our spending for July remains at $66.72.
Last week I cooked Ribs, a Pork Roast Dinner and something else I can't recall now.....gee I sure miss my brain some days.
Hubs was out of town for 2 days so I got #2 son Taco Bell and other crap and I had whatever I could scrounge here. The other nights were Leftovers meals.
Here is what we are having this week....
SUNDAY--Sloppy Joes, Squash Casserole
MONDAY--Leftovers
TUESDAY--Tacos, Watermelon
WEDNESDAY--Ham Steak, Potato Salad, Cantaloupe
THURSDAY--Chicken Casserole
FRIDAY--Leftovers
SATURDAY--Salmon, Potato Salad, Braised Green Beans
Though I hadn't shopped for food from July 8-14, I did go out on the 15th and I do need a few things for this week's Thur-Sat. meals so I'll have shopping to report in on after the 21st. I need to buy Broccoli, Cucumbers, a head of Lettuce and Salmon today or tomorrow. We haven't had salmon in a long time here because of the price. It's on special this week so I'll buy some extra to throw into the freezer. Not a lot extra since a "special" on salmon is still not cheap.lol I'll also pick up Eggs this week for the quiche I plan on making next week, since eggs are on sale this week.
I figure I'll spend $20 on these things, maybe less is I can get to the farm and they have the produce I need.
How about you? Are you eating from your pantry/stockpile this week?

The Hard Hard Road of The Artistic Student
*The post where I ramble on ad nauseum about education, debt and the arts.*
#2 son finished up with school for the term last month.
His grades for the year?
Maybe I shouldn't go there.lol
It was a mixed bag of A's through C+'s.
Besides French which he loves and puts a consistent effort toward and gets A's, every other academic subject ran the gamut from high to low marks. It's not like he has certain subjects he struggles with, since he managed an A at some point in the year in every course. He just can't sustain interest enough for an entire year to give a crap to do well.
His older brother had certain subjects he had to work harder at throughout school. He always had to work much harder at math and foreign language, but subjects like history and literature came much easier for him.
His sister sailed through with A's on everything, until this last year in which Physics kicked her in the ass. She says the teacher was inadequate to the challenge of teaching this subject and from what others have said and her classmates have said, I tend to believe that some of that C+ she earned in Physics was NOT all her fault.
Anyway, if you have more than 1 child, you know that they each learn differently and perform well or not so well in a school setting.
#2 son has had a totally different learning/schooling trajectory than either of his siblings.
I am taking pause on how to approach/encourage/guide/threaten him to maintain a high level of effort in his academic subjects.
As we send off his brainiac sister to college, I am coming to the realization that #2 son may not be cut out to be college material.
Well, let me rephrase that......he may not be cut out for the life of an intellectual academic.
Hubs is/was an intellectual. He went on a large merit scholarship to Johns Hopkins University. He got his MA from the University of Virginia and was going on to get his PhD there as well. His plan was to become a tenured professor of Medieval Literature at some high falootin' prestigious University.
As Southern comedienne Jeanne Robertson says, he is a "left brain" man and he was on the way to over degree-ing himself.
On the flip side of his greatness, Hubs can barely dress himself and he'd starve if I wasn't here to feed him. He was writing checks for cups of coffee when I met him in college but couldn't balance a checkbook.
I was not a stellar student in high school. I did well in the sciences & history, got through the math but I excelled at all the art subjects.....art, music, drama, dance and literature. I went to a small expensive Women's college nearby Hub's Johns Hopkins U. I was not an academe but I did well in my studies and had a blast doing many of the arts for 4 years. I learned a lot but nothing there prepared me to get a job in my field that would pay enough to support me. Making the connections in the field of my choosing during the summer and after college was the more valuable thing I achieved. Luckily, my 4 years of college didn't leave me with loans I would be ill prepared to pay back.
#2 son is an 'arts' kind of guy. And for me, unless you are one of the rare artistic type people who has the talent to make it 'big', college may not be the best choice for you if you don't have cash ready to pay for school or at least the bulk of the costs of it.
Yes, colleges have tons of programs for the arts. And some of them are highly regarded.
But unless you are attending one of the prestigious schools with an equally prestigious arts program
you might want to rethink attending with the help of large student loans.
Don't get me wrong.....no one's schooling is EVER a waste of time! And you will benefit from college in many ways and you may actually refine your artistic skills and be able to land a job that supports you.
But with the kind of income the arts person will see over their lifetime, the arts person who isn't at the 'top' of the talent/skills for the profession, they will have a hard time paying back all those loans on top of supporting themselves on their income level unless they hit it lucky. There use to always be the fallback profession of teaching the arts for the artistically inclined graduate if other jobs didn't pan out. But nowadays with the cut backs in education, the arts are the first types of programs to get the ax.
I'm just saying that if you need to go into massive debt to attend school in an arts field, you really need to think hard about being able to earn a living in that field that will let you also pay back all that debt.
Most arts students would be better off, instead of going to that expensive college with an arts program they can't afford w/out large loans, to live at home and taking classes at a community college along with finding work or internships in their career field to do simultaneously. You don't necessarily need a school setting once you have mastered some basics to learn your craft in the arts. It's more about practicing, honing your skills and forging the connections that will get you work. My best advice is to find a mentor in your field and etch everything they say into your brain! Hounding and picking the brain of someone you respect in your artistic field and getting some unpaid on-the-job experience might be the most useful and cheapest education you will find.
The arts community is rather small no matter which artistic discipline you go into. In this line of work, it really is about who you know and making a name for yourself among your fellow artisans. Artists tend to recommend people they know and have worked with in the past...unless they let their egos get in the way, but that's a whole other topic for another day! ;-)
So Hubs, #2 son and I will be talking and pondering in the coming year, what makes the most sense for #2 son in terms of advanced schooling.
Should he go to a 2 year community college and then intern/apprentice in his field?
Should he go to a 4 year liberal arts school?
Should he go to a conservatory or art school?
Should he take classes independently and work?
And the questions #2 son needs to start addressing....
Will he be able to sustain his livelihood in an artistic field?
Will he learn a 'back-up' profession so he has something to fall back on if the arts gig doesn't work out?
Or will be have to get a 'real job' and practice his art on the side either paid or unpaid?
Life can be so complicated for the artistic soul!
So tell me about you or your kid(s).....
Did/do you earn a living in an arts field?
Did you go to college and major in an artistic discipline but don't earn a living in that field?
Where you talented in the arts but didn't follow your heart?
And do you regret that you didn't pursue your passion?

Wise Words for a Monday
In these days of Graduations and Graduation Speeches here are a couple of videos with awesome advise to impart.
First, the original video of THE SUNSCREEN SONG. The lyrics are based on a column written by Mary Schmich of the Chicago Tribune in 1997. The real title of the work is "Advise, like Youth, Probably Just Wasted on the Young". In the introduction Ms. Schmich noted that were she called upon to give a commencement speech, this would be it. Baz Luhrmann set her words to music in 1998.
And here is the Commencement Speech delivered by Conan O'Brien to the Class of 2011 at Dartmouth this past May.
It's long but it's worth watching the whole thing.

Goals for 2011.....Halfway Point Check-Up
Every January on my blog, I post a list of Hopes or Goals for my year. HERE's the post from earlier this year where I talked about what I hoped to accomplish in 2011.
Since we are halfway through the year......let me say that again.....halfway through the year!......I thought it would be a predictable time to check-in and see how I'm doing or how I'm NOT doing at this point in 2011.
1. Put more Money Into Savings.
PASS-We are slightly ahead of our Savings Goal at the halfway point from 2010. I only upped my Savings Goal 2 thousand dollars in 2011 since food costs have been rising this year and with another teen starting college in August, we have more expenses to cover. We are on track as of now to meet our savings goal. 8-)
2. File all the Paperwork that needs filing and completing it on time.
PASS-We got all the college and income tax paperwork completed with time to spare earlier this year. I also tackled a huge pile of papers that needed filing in May(was it?) Going forward I am going to try to file every 2 months so the pile doesn't get too unruly.
3. Declutter my entire house and garage, and storage unit(and then stop renting the storage unit).
PASS(so far)-This goal is ongoing throughout 2011. I had the storage unit down to half-empty. Then I had to temporarily put a large load of boxes from the garage into the unit so I could stage for a garage sale this month. Besides just the moving of crap around in this way, I have decluttered at least 6 loads(off hand I think it's 6, I might be wrong) so far from the house and unit. After the garage sale is over, more loads will begin leaving again for Sallie's.
This Goal is my largest, ongoing, physically challenging one for 2011. It may just kill me by December. ;-)
4. Read 30 books this year, with 75% of them being non-fiction.
FAIL-I am STILL on Book #6(this one is a 'difficult' read) plus I pitched Book #5 before finishing it because it was just horrible! So technically I am on Book #5 with 25 more to go.
bleh.
I am just not feeling much like reading yet. Maybe next month when the weather turns beastly hot I'll want to do nothing but sit still and read in the a/c.
5. Finish ALL in progress sewing projects and alter ALL clothing that needs it or give it away.
FAIL-I hemmed some pants and worked on some PJ pants for my Daughter but haven't finished them. Hubs bought 4 pairs of pants for me to hem so the pile has gone UP not DOWN.
bleh. bleh. bleh.
I just can't seem to get into a sewing zone. This is worrying me. People are going to start thinking I really can't sew.lol
6. Cook more foods from scratch and phase unhealthy options out of my stockpile.
PASS-I was doing very well on this earlier this year. I was cooking much more from scratch and we were down to a small number of cans of soda(of which I was only drinking 1 can per week if that)and I only had 2 tv dinners in the freezer.....no frozen pizzas, no 'snack' foods like Pop-Tarts or Toaster Pocket thingies, Froot snacks, only a few Helper type mixes. Ok, I still had a ton of cake mixes and breaded chicken products.lol Then school ended and I caved and bought some pizza rolls, pizzas, chicken strips, ice cream and more soda for #2 son. The kid has to eat lunch, right?lol And unless I want to spend ALL DAY cooking this summer, I'm giving him easy things to make for lunch(rather than spend a fortune buying Taco Bell and Baconators at Wendy's)and I'll give him healthy foods for dinner. It's the compromise I'll make to get through until school starts again.
And I promise I shall NEVER buy Pop-Tarts again....Nasty!
7. Grow more of the food we eat or source our food from non-grocery chain stores.
FAIL(so far)-With the wacky weather and being super busy in May/June with the impending Graduation and all that entailed I was sooo not 'into' my garden this year. We did get it planted but not everything I wanted. I don't feel we will have as much to eat from our garden this year as we did last year. As for sourcing from non-grocery chain stores, we are just getting into the season where we can buy from the local farms. I am determined to get to the farm stands this summer and put up produce for 2012. I am still looking for a local source for meats. The closest is over an hour's ride away so not very economical.
8. Use my skills to step up what I do for Others.
NEUTRAL-Ok, I can't say Pass or Fail on this one. OTOH, I have done on par with last year in terms of family and food bank donations so far this year. As soon as the garage sale is done I have another donation to take to the food bank. But since I have not been 'extreme couponing' this year(due to the lack of deals locally, not traveling where the deals are because of the price of gas and wear and tear on the minivan AND the lack of good value coupons this year, due to the tightening up on coupons by manufacturer's in part because of "That Couponing Show Which Shall Not Be Named")I haven't had as much to donate as in past years. It will take me MORE money in 2011 to donate the same amount of food as I did in 2010. I just don't know if I can come up with enough money this year to put toward this goal to "step up" what I give.
I may have to look at other ways besides monetary/food donations to do for others.
9. Be more "in the Moment" for my Family.
PASS-I feel that, so far in 2011, I have been more 'there' for the family. I have tried to limit my time on the internet by blogging less(ok, not MUCH less!lol), and spending less time deal hunting.
See?....crappy coupons and local deals give me more time to be with family, so there is one good thing about the dirth of deals!lol With less of a stockpile I spend less time organizing it.
Of course, the teens don't actually want to spend time with me when they are home, unless I have cooking them food or handing over cash....oh, the blessings of having sullen, eye-rolling teens! ;-)
Now that #2 son is home from camp, I'll be offering to drive him places and do some things for him so he can hang out with people that aren't his family.
10. Organize the running of my Home.
How to score this one?.....
I guess I'm on my way to a PASS with this one. With 2 less kids home things are running fairly smoothly. With less clutter in the way, it's easier to keep what is here organized and clean. But with so many projects pending or in progress(garage sale, cleaning out the storage unit, sewing, home repairs/remodeling)it seems like everything is at 6's and 7's and just a moment away from flying off the tracks. Since the older 2 kids don't have a car while working across the state this summer(due to the car wreck in May), I'm having to deal with business stuff for them like driver's license renewals, dr. appointments, prescription refills, college papers/forms, scholarship forms/requirement, ordering books and tuition bills. This is stuff they should/would be taking care of but since they don't have transportation or bank/credit card access it's all falling on me. I haven't screwed anything up yet, knock on wood.lol
So how about you?
How are your goals for 2011 panning out?
Are you on track to accomplish what you want to this year?
Have your goals changed significantly since the beginning of 2011?
