Thursday,Thrifty Thursday

 

 See those dog prints?  This was taken New Years Day.  You can see where my daughter's puppy came in at a fast clip and slid.  This floor is a nightmare to keep clean.  Just thought I would share this with you so when I complain and trust me I will, you can understand.

I think every time I worked on this dress it got bigger.  I don't want to put it back in its bag as it will crush all my hard work pressing and steaming the darn thing.  The bride comes tomorrow and I told her to bring two clean sheets so we could cover it and then she could hang it at home.  Yikes!

When I went to pull the bag of shrimp out of the freezer I found an almond cake I made at Christmas.  Score!  So I did not have to make a cake for the meal I took in.  Yeah for cooking ahead.

I left enough of the shrimp and mushroom pasta at home for Hubs and I to have for dinner.  When I got home from my delivery, Schmills, daughter and Hubs had left me about 5 pieces of pasta and one mushroom. No wonder I am hungry. Next time I will eat before I leave or at least grab a couple of mouthfuls.

It was a busy day with bridesmaids and mother of the bride pick ups.  Tomorrow I have two more bridesmaids flying in and I am hoping all I have to do is press the dresses, but we will see.

Thrifty Thursday:

1. I have $40.00 in my $5.00 bill savings I started it the 26th of December.

2. saved all my change

3. filled a few envelops in my 100 envelope challenge

4. found a nickle at Wal mart

5. ate all meals at home using mostly pantry food

6. touched up my hair with root touch up kit gifted me by my Sluggy!

7. watered down my cream rinse that was almost gone to get all out of the bottle

8. found out bar keepers friend can be used on my glass oven top (that I hate) instead of buying expensive glass cook top cleaner.

9. used points at Albertsons to get free eggs, pasta and french bread.  I needed pasta and french bread for meal I took in.  Saved $8.54

10. filled up car with gas from reservation.

11. Used a coupon at Joanns, and then bought enough zippers I qualified for the $5.00 off total.

I have  sew much sewing (pardon the pun) to do tomorrow.  Many, many zippers.  But I will be glad to get this wedding over with.  Then I have another wedding dress I want to get out by Friday if possible. So my tomorrow is planned. Have a no idea what is for dinner, but I will tell you I will not leave trusting my husband to leave me a portion....

Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.
