HAPPY TURKEY DAY!

dreaded grocery store visit

I know better and I considered grocery shopping for Thursday this past weekend but it just did not work out because life in general has been crazed to put it mildly lately. So I made my list checked it twice, checked it a third time; I've grocery shopped the night before Thanksgiving before it's not for the feint of heart. So I braved the Kroger last night it was pretty busy but I managed I got what I needed or so I thought.....yes I have to go back this evening

the day after Thanksgiving rule

I am considering breaking my mother's golden rule you know the one about Christmas not beginning until the day after Thanksgiving...Yup I believe my tree is gonna get put up this very weekend, mere days prior to turkey day...shhhh don't tell her.
however I will respect the no Christmas music till next Friday, but next Friday all bets are off it's all Christmas all day

when I win the lottery

I plan on hiring a some full-time help over and above normal cook, housekeeper etc etc...

1. full time masseuse so I can have a massage every day
2. manicurist so I can have nails & toes touched up whenever
3. someone to throw my sheets in the dryer & make my bed up just before I go to sleep each night because I love warm clean sheets

that pretty much covers it....and don't confuse the issue by telling me I'll never win because I never buy tickets

oh yeah I want a steam room too so when I get the inevitable cold I have a room where I can sit and breathe for a little bit

not exactly the party animals we once were

Halloween party on Saturday night and the quick realization that we did not have plans in place for the kid. Hubs said no problem he would ask niece#2 and quite frankly I scoffed okay maybe I just laughed
21 year old niece?
the Saturday before Halloween?
surely to God she had plans to go out but was amazed she was available till I heard the terms.....she has plans to go out at 11...and of course that's fine for us to home by 11...after a party..what's next the early bird special?

shopping without a net

or worse a shopping list...
In an effort to be more budget minded I generally do not go into a grocery store without a very specific list of what we need, even if it's just for milk & bread. This seem to have helped cut down on my wandering up & down aisle buying things we really do not need and spending $50 on a shopping trip that should have run $10. Yesterday evening I was out & about and knew I needed specific groceries for tonight's dinner so I stopped and brazenly decided what the hell I can accomplish the weekly shop and be done with it all. I did very well planning meals in my head and making sure I bought only what we needed. I was oh so proud of myself until this morning when I realized that I was lacking 3 items necessary for today's menu. Today's menu you know the only reason I had gone shopping in the first place.

quit beeping at me already

I am so tired of the cars beeping when I lock them, when I unlock them, when I open the trunk...
KNOCK IT OFF
I pressed the button I know I unlocked, locked or opened the trunk that was my intention

seems only fitting this week

hurricane well me

does this kid ever get full?

David happened to get kiddo duty the other evening picked C up after cross country, grabbed him dinner & took him home. As I sat down to homework around 7 or so C bopped into the kitchen looking for a snack of some sort because "well I didn't have dinner" the meal a meat & two side was served to him around 4:30.....clearly much to early to have been actual dinner

84

that's how many days till Christmas....
