Weekend Recap

Well the weekend was pretty good I guess. Went by too fast. Friday I got my grocery shopping done. I ended up getting a couple of *non-grocery* items and went about $30 over budget. $18 was for a flash drive and I can't think of what the other $12 was for right now. Other than that my food budget was pretty much on target at my $60.

Adam did end up working Saturday until 11. I was so exhausted Saturday. I think the week of staying up too late caught up with me. I slept until 8:30 then got up and made cookies. I got the house resonably straightened up so it wasn't a total pigsty when he got home. After he got home we ate some lunch and then took a 3hr nap...haha. We got up at 3 and decided to get ready and go in to town. I have been craving IHOP for weeks now so I was so excited he agreed that it sounded good. I can't believe what I had!!! I had Chicken Fried Steak, Mashed Potatos, & pancakes. The waitress looked at me like I was a total loon but IT WAS ON THE MENU. I mean I can understand that it was a pretty odd request but it's not like I just made it up! Anyways I ate the pancakes and took the steak home for later... Not bad for $7.99! After that we went to Target so that I could return something my boss had given me for christmas. That gave me $30 to spend there. We got a few things and I got a really cute cookie jar!

Sunday was pretty busy. I have a couple of "projects" in my house that I hope to one day accomplish. My first one was to get my built in desk in the living room cleared. I have had a desk top computer there that we never use now that we have a laptop. That desktop and all the junk around it has just been collecting dust. So while Adam was working in the bathroom that we are remodeling I started on the desk. It looks GREAT now! We went to Lowes later and I found a cute set of 3 lamps for $14! I put one of the small ones on the desk and then I'm gonna put the big one in our living room in place of a table/lamp thing we have now. In cleaning off the desk I had to do something with the 20 or so cookbooks that I never use have. I chose 3 and put them in my kitchen and the rest went to my bookshelf.
After we got back from Lowes and had our Sunday Ice Cream I got busy with dinner. We had a great dinner last night and actually sat at our dining table. We had Fried Pork Chops, Mashed Potatos, Black Eyed Peas, Rolls, & Gravy... yumm. Can't wait to eat leftovers for lunch today!

Here is my meal plan for the rest of the week:
Cheesy Pasta & Veggies (monday)
Jambalaya & Rice
Taco Pie
Chicken with brown gravy & rice (or boiled potatos)
Chili & Cornbread

No specific days because I never know what Adam's work schedule will be and what we will feel like that day :).

So now it's monday and the day has been pretty good so far. I got 3 loads of laundry folded from the weekend, dishes washed (in the dishwasher of course), sink cleaned out, dishes put up from the drainer, and all my critters fed. I just hope the rest of the day at work goes good too!
