My oh my, I finally had some things picked up in the shop and I actually have some cash! I have had to rob every little nook and cranny in this house for spare money. Well mostly hub's wallet.
I had a wedding dress and a bridesmaid dress come in yesterday, so I have work to do and I am so excited. Now I need to clean up the shop and get busy.
I finally got the family room picked up and most of my crap put away.
Kelsa is here today and tomorrow, so she is keeping us on our toes. I also have to run to a bridal fitting this afternoon, so I will have even more work. Yippee!
You know the harder I work at trying to empty the freezers, the more I realize how much food is here. The grocery adds came out today and again, really nothing to tempt me. I do have to go pick up some fish sauce,and a few fruits and veggies, but that is it. So I will keep plugging along at eating this over abundance of food down. I cooked up three chicken breasts yesterday and they will suffice for dinner last night and lunch today. I'm thinking eggrolls and rice tonight as those went over so well a couple of weeks ago, plus daughter will be here tonight with kids.
Things are finally starting to melt around here and if this keeps up we should be snowless by the end of the week. It did not freeze last night. We are in that melted, frozen lumpy ice stage, in the parking lots, which I think is the most dangerous for falls. Soon I will be able to go out and walk if this keeps up.
Hub's just got the baby down for a nap, time to get some work done.
1. clean and organize sewing desk
2. hem pants and call
3. men pants and call
4. hem and take in bridal slip
5. cut wedding dress hem for a fitting
6. alter a bridesmaid dress
7. run for a bridal fitting at a person's house
I have work! Just so excited. Hope I can keep up this feeling, when things start to get crazy.
Let's see what I can get done today, if I don't work I won't be able to complete next weeks savings goals and I don't want to get behind. It's too early in the year to start behind.
Any good grocery buys in your area? Are any of you experiencing pasta shortages?
Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.
Kim
YES, write this date down on your April and May and June calendars!!!!! Remember how excited you were for work - because you will be pulling your hair out then!!!! LOL!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing how much food we really have stashed away? Good going on using what you have.
I know, I go back and read blog posts and tell myself it is coming!
DeleteThere are some good items in ads, but forgot what. I only looked for Ronco pasta today, but little was there. Big Box had so many skimpy shelves! Melted and refrozen snow scares me for walking and driving, more so than fresh snow. It's either feast or famine for your sewing!
ReplyDeleteWell it is feat for about 8-9 months a year and famine for three.
DeleteGosh if you have to drive to a client, I hope you bill for that cost.
ReplyDeleteThe only pasta shelf empty is the house brand at Fred Meyer and that was Monday. But shelves are often low on Mondays. Winco has had full shelves for well over a year any time I've been there and that's my regular go-to store.
Oh I factor in that cost believe me.
DeleteI'm so pleased to read work has picked up for you Kim ... just as I knew it would do. Glad the snow is melting too. Its melting here but a different sort of melting ... its scorching hot & when you walk on the lawn it crunches because its dying so fast. We could do with a few days good rain.
ReplyDeleteIt is so odd to think that our weather is opposite.
DeleteGlad to hear work picked up. I'll be getting groceries tomorrow, so I will have to check out the pasta aisle. I need to pick up some chicken thighs and veggies for meals. :) good times!
ReplyDeleteSo am I !
DeleteThe last few times I went to the store there were many things missing including pasta. Our freezer and pantry is stocked so we're mainly buying fresh veggies, fruit and dairy and just replacing what we've used every two or three weeks. I don't want to get too low on things here at home with the price increases and shortages.
ReplyDeleteWe really are fully stocked also, just buying fresh and the sauces I need for cooking. BUt it is nice to have the pantry to go to.
DeleteI wish I could say snow is melting here but that won't happen till April or May. We have been having what's in the freezer these days. One, because even in the ads food is expensive and two, it's too darn cold and slippery to leave the house.
ReplyDeleteWe finally have a pretty full melt off and I am happy about that. I don't like going out when it is slippery, I would be the first one to fall.
