Project 365 Day 39

Oh, yes I did! Someone take my temperature, quick!

Project 365 Day 38 Sunset Time

I stepped outside for some fresh air, and was surprised by this beautiful end to the day. This picture does not begin to show how big the sky is, and how beautiful it was:



This was looking the other way, to the east. The sky was a vivid pink giving way to purple at the edges of the sky:

I am such a lucky girl.

Project 365 Day 30

We are all still sick, but even sick people need supplies, so we went to the gas station and to Whole Foods today. The price of diesel is still coming down, as you can see from the photo above. It hasn't been that low in seems like forever, or at least since 2004. I could be wrong, and if I am I am blaming it on all the cold medicine I have taken this week. My head feels all poofy inside from it.


At Whole Foods, I had to restrain myself from taking out my camera and taking pictures of the breads. They had a whole freezer section full of gluten free goodies: breads, bagels, pies, biscuits, muffins, cupcakes, donuts...I had a hard time deciding what to get, but wound up with just a loaf of white bread and some bagels. But, then, in the fresh baked stuff, there was this:



Believe me when I tell you it was icky, sticky, gooey, fantabulously good. They called it Orange Clouds. I called it delicious~!

Project 365 Day 28

We have decided to put ourselves on a $300 per week budget for the winter. This means taking the cash out of the bank once a week, on Monday, and putting it in our pocket. Putting the debit card away, out of reach. This cash in hand has to pay for groceries, gas, cigarettes for him (yeah, I know, grrrrrr!!!), beer, going out to eat--basically whatever we want to do each week, we can do, as long as we have cash in our pocket.

We'll see how long we can do it. I think we should be able to have cash left over every week, he thinks it won't be enough. Last winter we tried to do it on $180 a week, but always fell short and had to get more money before the end of the week. So, I'll be posting every monday from now until the end of April, to say how we did each week. What do you think? Do you think we'll be able to live and have some fun on $300 per week?

Project 365 Day 27

We had planned to go exploring with Lynda and Charlie today, but when I called Lynda said Charlie was sick and didn't feel like getting off the sofa. And FabGrandpa was the same--he coughed all night long until he finally moved from the bed to the sofa. He has been feeling puny all day.

So, I was left to entertain myself. The other day when we went to Camping World, I bought a couple of spice racks. I already had one, a three tier one, but I had too many herbs and spices to keep them all in that one. So, I got out my girlie tool kit and put the new ones on the wall. The wall under the kitchen cabinets leans at a funny angle because it is in the "nose" of the trailer, so it was a little hard to get the screws started, but soon I had it all done. And now I have room to put all of my seasonings in the new spice racks. I think I did a great job!
