Wednesday, Finding money!

 By the way I would not be caught dead in these ugly shoes and if you own a pair like this throw them away now!

      I am kind of on a roll, finding things of value.  I almost feel guilty.   Heck I do feel guilty! I found those very expensive sunglasses on our trip.  Then I was at Wal mart a couple of days ago, someone left their change in the checkout machine.  It was only .67 but they were long gone.  Tonight Hubs and I went to get dog food and he told me to look down and there was a $20.00 bill on the floor.  Of course we looked around for whoever might have lost it, but know one.  So then we had a pretend argument over who's money it was.  The one who spotted it or the one who bent over and picked it up.  Anyway, my luck has been good lately.  I just feel sorry for who ever lost it.  May this trend last.

I was able to get a wedding dress in for a try on and it fit perfectly.  So I will be doing the finish work on that and the bustle.  I also need to bustle another dress and replace a zipper in a pair of jeans.  That should be about all I can get done as  all of the work left on the wedding dresses is hand work.

I am going to thoroughly clean out the fridge today, as it is quite empty and in need of a good scrub.  We are doing fine with the grocery challenge, and we still have quite a bit of meat.  But we are very low on fresh veggies, and we have no sliced cheese, crackers, we are down on cheeses, no cottage cheese, no sour cream, no bread unless I make it.

Now I can still do meat, frozen or canned veg, potatoes, and we have enough for a small salad.  But I will have to go to the store tomorrow.  I want the fridge nice and clean, so I know what we really have. I have plenty of food to make meals, In fact could probably go another month on this challenge as far as evening meals go.  But I do need some other things we have run out of and I am craving bacon and avocados.

How have you guys been doing with your challenge?  Are you running out of anything yet?

 Tuesday for dinner I made a large meatloaf and I put in green pepper, as someone had suggested that and I had never tried it before.  It was good.  I also made a salad and used up the rest of the broccoli.  I have two more green peppers in the crisper that need to be used.  So tomorrow when I go to the store I am going to get a yellow and red pepper to fry up with an onion as a side for the meat loaf. Trying really hard not to have any food waste and so far we have been doing great.

Lil sis left for a ten day vacation in Mexico and I will miss her.  I hope she has a good time and has no troubles getting down and back. Our eldest daughter called and needs one or both of us to come down the last three days of March and the first couple of days in April to watch the boys, as her live in sitter will be gone.  We had planned on going down the first week in April to check on hubs folks so this will work out fine. I just have to make sure I have all my wedding dresses out that will be needed.

We also have been called to work at the food bank tonight.  Last time we went they about killed all of us.  We were sore for a couple of days after.  So this may be my last post.

Well I  am managing to stay busy.  How about you guys?  Are you finding things to do?

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