    Default Miserly Monday 1-23-12

    Off to a good start today - after blowing off my to-do list this weekend, last night I emptied the dishwasher and this morning I took out the recycling and changed the bunny litter. Made me feel like I got a jump start to house work before I left for work. Didn't make a lunch today - spent $7 on lunch at our deli - oh well, I don't do it very often. Tonight going to make some food for lunch this week.
    Goals:
    Lose 25 lbs (exercise at least 3 times/wk/eat healthy)
    Spend less
    Save more $ in ES
    Frugal challenge
    Do three things daily
    One new recipe a week
    Prep for zombie apocalypse

    Gray, dreary misty day for walk in park. Hardly anyone there--the way I love it.

    Came home from school and dog had grabbed new loaf of bread I made this wknd off the counter and finished it all. So I just started a new loaf. All white. I'm not going to try whole wheat again until I have some whole wheat bread flour.

    Lunch was a frozen burrito I kept in the fridge in my room. Breakie (at work during planning) was coffee and raspberry/almond bread toasted. It was good. Now I'm watching news and about to clean up the kitchen.

    Not a totally "Miserly Monday", spent money on cigarettes. But, on the upside we are saving roughly $700 by not going to the casino tonight . I'm fairly lucky but, hubby isn't. If I could leave him home I would but, he's my chauffer.
