I’m not as upset about not getting a garage sale together. Today we woke up to rain and a balmy 49 degrees outside. It was a little cold in the house, so we had to turn on the heater (ouch high gas bills). I checked the forecast and tomorrow it is supposed to be back up to 80! So I guess we’ll have to turn the AC back on 😉
I was thinking about cleaning out the boy’s Summer clothes this weekend. I guess I’ll have to wait until the weather makes up its mind.
This month I’m trying to cut our grocery budget and making more from scratch. Last night I attempted to make Re-fried Beans, and I miserably failed 🙁 Where did it all go wrong? I sorted, rinsed, let sit overnight in plenty of water, rinsed again, all ready to smash, and the beans are still hard as rocks!?! I added water, and let them boil for 2 hours, and lets just say the results were not pretty. I’m not giving up though, and I’m going to try to make one more batch. Any tips and pointers would be greatly appreciated.
I’m kicking myself that I didn’t get a garage sale together for this weekend. It is City Wide Garage Sale weekend in our little town. That also means lots of crazy traffic, so I might just stay in. The weather is perfect today too, a cool 73 🙂
Do you have a City Wide Garage Sale in your city? Do you like to go and shop?
Today I made yet another trip to Wal-Mart. Two to be exact: one for James eye appointment, and the second for groceries. On the second trip to the store we said hi to the super nice greeter, and she asked what size diapers Dylan was wearing. I said 2-3, and she asked if I could use a free sample. She then gave me 12 samples of Pampers Swaddlers size 2 diapers. The diapers also came with a pack of 6 count Pampers Sensitive Baby Wipes. The small packs of wipes will be perfect for my diaper bag.
I was so happy with this freebie. I came home with 12 diapers and 72 wipes just for saying hi to the greeter 🙂
Last nights dinner was super simple, Sloppy Joe’s and Fries. Thade and I decided to have a picnic indoors. We sat down on a little blanket, and had a fun dinner. Complete with yummy Chocolate Ice Cream for dessert.
