WOW...after a month of being alone and doing everything myself around here I came home tonight to a nice home cooked meal NOT made by me! Pot roast, potatoes and salad!! His: lots of beef smothered in gravy, mashed potatoes with butter and sour cream and salad somewhere under that dressing!!! Mine- a slice of beef the size of a deck of cards,(no gravy) potatoes (boiled) and mixed with some horseradish(only), and salad drizzled with low fat ceasar...Who says you cant eat the same food and lose weight!!
Now my xbox addict is playing the game he bought today while I am catching up with my SA friends!
I mentioned that we are going on a getaway with friends this weekend to the mountains. This will actually be a fairly frugal get away. 1st, we are splitting the cost of the house...but even better, it was pay for two nights get two nights free...(cost = $180 per night for two nights and two nights free...so $45 per couple per night)THEN we take all of our own food and each family splits/shares meal planning and prep. We WILL eat one meal out while we are there...a fabulous little bbq place that we all enjoy...but its also one of those places where an entire meal is $10 or under per person. Entertainment will be games, movies, (all supplied in the house) hot tub, walks, and visiting...so no cost there. So its really an inexpensive way to spend a weekend away.
Tomorrow is a holiday where I work but I am working 1/2 day so that I can take a 1/2 day off on Friday. The hub is going to work with me (we are testing disaster recovery generator power while staff is off) so I can go to work in tennis shoes and jeans rather than a suit...it should be an easy fun work day.
I suspect GS (age 5) will be spending the night tomorrow...which is fine. We always enjoy him and he so loves being here.
Much to be greatful for...life is good.
Hubster is home and he made dinner!
