taking stock

quick note...I'll probably weigh in tomorrow. I'm ..."empty" but I also ate right before emptying out! yeah, another TMI moment but well...yeah.

I need to write down all of the food I have that really needs to be eaten!! Aside from maybe getting bread for mom and the boy, we REALLY could stand to just slow down our spending!!! I'm gonna have to try and get mom a home business or something to do...maybe she could start making clothes again...even if it's just baby clothes...maybe even baby clothes to donate to drug addicted or abandoned babies in hospitals or in the DCFS system. SOMETHING so she's not at home doing laundry, cleaning, or wanting to spend all of her money because she's retired and doesn't have to wake up anymore to head into work. Plus, it'll help keep her mind sharp I think. Not sure if we need to invest in a surveillance system or not.


Anyway, God is Good that we can afford these groceries...i just do NOT want her blowing through her money now when we really DON'T need to do much shopping right now.
We went to my sister's for a jewelry show this morning and b4 we left ran her by the grocery store. I didn't really think we needed anything yet we left with $40+ worth of stuff. That didn't include my sister's stuff...she paid for her own. So yeah, I really need make as accurate a list as I can so I can start to look at all these cookbooks I have and figure out what I can make that serves 3-4 people and won't be soooooo high in cals and fat!


Okey dokey, I hope everyone of you reading is well and doing great in your quest for a smaller you. Today, I wore a pair of jeans that .....wow, I'm really 20+ pounds lighter; just had to type what I was happily thinking....used to be a little tight. I'm not sure if I'm going to purchase jeans from that store anymore though...they all seem to be low-riding or lay about an inch below the waist line. Plus the crotch area never really comes UP to the crotch and yet the jeans don't stay up. not sure if that's a too small or too big issue or just a "you paid only $18 for these, what do you expect" issue? I really don't understand why you would make a size 30-ANYTHING in low rise or any unflattering cut of clothing in that size or bigger. I don't wanna wear it and I definitely don't wanna see it!!!


okey dokey...
