Thursday Stuff

I can’t believe I haven’t updated all week. I guess I’ve been having too much fun. Or something. Actually this has been a really busy week at work and at home. I’ll spare you the small details.

I’ve been cooking in the crock pot all week. This has been somewhat of a success but I’ve got lots more things to try. I’m trying to find the simplest dish with the most WOW! Feel free to suggest recipes. If I find any really good ones I’ll post them or link to them. About.com’s Southern Cooking section has about 1600 recipes, many of them redundant.

We sat down together last Saturday and made our first real budget. I know people who live on strict, planned budgets and people who don’t bother. We’ve never bothered but this year, to continue in the mode of planning and saving for some goals, we decided it was time to try. I’m skeptical about our ability to really stick to this for very long, but then again, we’ve surprised ourselves before by managing to do things we didn’t think possible. We gave ourselves some leeway in the discretionary funds area, knowing that if we make this too hard we won’t bother.

Tonight is pizza and Survivor night though. Few things change that. Not budget or diet. I’ve been to the gym every night this week so a couple of slices of pizza will be wonderful.

I think Jenna’s going to get the boot tonight. I’m ready to be rid of her, frankly. By the way, Mr. Personality? Every last one of those guys is a freak. FREAK! It’s like Reality Television is scraping the absolute bottom of the barrel for contestants now. Those guys have problems. Beyond wanting to meet their “soul mate” on network television.

CHALLENGE: Someone find me the word ‘Fructis’ in a dictionary of any language.
Extra Credit: Find ‘Moisturous’.
Extra Extra Credit: Explain the possibility of a product that infuses my lips with 100% moisturization. 100% of what? As compared to what?

The End.
