Mood:  cheeky

Good morning!

I decided I would take a short break from Grocery Day and write today’s post.

First off, I LOVE THIS WEATHER!!! It has been raining for 3 days now and the 7 day forecast says...

Last night I fell asleep around 2200 and woke up 5 hours later and couldn’t fall back asleep. Apparently my body thinks that 5 hours is enough for someone who didn’t sleep at all the night before. =/ Anywho, I cooked Flyboy up some Breakfast Burritos and brewed him some Orange Tea. Oddly I could only eat one burrito, but I drank all my tea. =D I dropped him off at Flight P.T. and headed for the grocery store. I was $3 under budget and could have been about $10 but I got an extra case of water (the water out here is NASTY and it makes you pretty sick. Base water is tolerable, but I am not into having a soar throat 24/7, you know?) and I also got an extra pound of stew meat. I think I did pretty well, although my goal was to be under by a WHOLE lot, oh well. I don’t think I will have to shop too hefty next pay period since we will be having Left-Overs at each meal this period. (They will be frozen and eaten later. =D )

Iput away all the food that needs refrigeration and I put some of it in the Crockpot. In a few I am going to start bagging up the fruit into individual servings (I hate how onions burn your eyes… grr) and probably eat something for lunch, though what I will have for lunch, I have no clue.

I’m sure you are wondering what is in the Crockpot… Well I am trying a new recipe I found online; it’s called Crockpot Cowboy Stew. So, I have stew meat, diced potatoes (I’m using the little yellow and purple ones, they tend to be cheaper) chopped onion and baked beans in BBQ sauce. I don’t think there is enough sauce so I added about cup of water to it to make sure nothing burns, well and cooks. We shall see how it turns out in about 8 hours. =) I think tomorrow night I will make some stir fry, and yes, I am going to do it in the Crockpot. Hehe. =P

Well before I lose all my motivation to continue my chores (I’m really getting sleepy sitting here) I am going to start bagging up fruit. I hope you all have a great day and watch out for glowing puppies!
