Wednesday,Will I ever?

     Today's post is asking myself will I ever get to those wedding dresses or my ironing?  I make these plans and they never seem to be realized.  I could have ironed last night but I really needed to go grocery shopping and I was also fatigued.

     My plan was to attack the pile before I started the dresses and the pile turned into over 17 pairs of pants that needed to be either hemmed, adjusted at the waist or both.  I kicked through it all and just have one skirt to alter before I can get to the wedding dresses.  My plan today it at least two wedding dresses and a pair of marine pants that need the stripes down the side.  Not my favorite alteration let me tell you.

     Hubs and I went on a major grocery shop last night and spent $150.00.  Very unusual for us.  I was out of various things as I have been trying to stick to a $50.00 a week budget in order to  eat down the pantry and freezers.  But we needed bread crumbs, and panko, soy sauce, sesame seeds,sesame oil, sour cream, whip cream, seed bread, broccoli, cream cheese,onion soup base, just a lot of odds and ends. I am a scratch cook and don't use mixes very often unless it is a cake mix as it is cheaper to buy them on sale. Then we were out of dog food and cat food and some protein drinks we like that are low carb.  We hit a great fruit sale .99 for grapes and cherries, so I bought more fruit than I usually do.  We also needed cereal for hubs.

     When we were at Wally world they had their large plastic outdoor chairs on sale for $9.00 and ours are breaking up so we bought a couple of these.  I really dislike plastic anything, but as these sit where the sprinkler can get them I have no real choice.We need the seating, and this was a cheap fix.  That is always the answer. We need a good way to recycle plastic.

     So the large grocery haul was actually a good percentage of pet food and plastic crap.

     I am taking dinner into my friend tonight and making a chicken casserole with fresh green beans and I am also going to make up a fruit salad.  Haven't thought about dessert, but was thinking of a pineapple upside down cake as I have all the ingredients in the pantry.  

     I had picked up 4 packages of marked down chicken on Monday, so I divided those up into  8 seal a meal bags for later dinners.  I am using one of the bags tonight.  I paid less than 8.00 for all that boneless chicken.

     Well I could sit here all day but I really want to get to the sewing and maybe just maybe I will be able to talk myself into ironing tonight after I deliver dinner.

     Do any of you have any plans for this Wednesday?

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

  3. My only plan today is to finish up work at 5 and head out to pick up my grandsons (10,6) for a long weekend! My apartment complex has a nice swimming pool that we hit first thing in the mornings and the last couple of hours before it closes. In between we are busy making snacks and watching dvds...heaven for this grandmom!!!

  5. It sounds like we have very similar cooking styles. I can't remember the last time I bought a mix.

    1. I know when I see carts full of mixes I cringe.

  6. When you're out, you're out. So you have to stock up again! Besides, you DID get chairs, and I know what we spend on dog and cat food every month. So I don't think you did too bad on your groceries.

    1. It is all those condiments I use in cooking that add up. Plus who sees grapes and cherries for .99 a pound. You just have to indulge.

  7. You did well on the groceries as Son 2 spend about that much every two weeks with having the cat litter and cat food. I have a separate budget for the dogs.

    Heat index is 100 right now and it's 10:53 am ET. I already baked brownies for Hubby to take the job site tomorrow (tearing down block walls) and brownies for us. Biscuits and crescents also are baked. Meatloaf is in oven for tonight's supper. Laundry on the line, burnt my bare feet hanging it on the wood floor of the porch. Not sure what else will get done.
