Day 18 - School, School, School

I had to work on a paper for grad school today. It's been exhausting. I enjoy school, but I'm so busy lately. I have a full time job, a little girl, a husband, school, church, and women's club. Looks like women's club is on the chopping block. I still have several years to go before I'm done with my studies. My husband took the baby to his parent's house for the day so I could get some work done. 

Day 17 - Lunch Fiasco

Today I had a turkey burger with onion strings. I was celebrating a colleague's retirement. We've had a snow week so a lot of people have been out of the office. One of my friend's was upset with us because we thought she didn't come into the office today, so we didn't invite her to lunch. Still not doing so good on my diet. Trying...trying...trying. 

Day 16 - Snowed In Again

Snowed in again. This time without heat or water. Baby and my husband went to the in-laws house keep warm. No firewood for the fireplace. Seriously, our ancestors are probably looking down on us, like "how in the world have you managed to survive this long?" He safely drove to his parents house on the highway, not that there weren't plenty of people trying to hit him. There was a driver going way too fast on the onramp who spun out perpendicular and hit a Uhaul truck. My husband was able to avoid him, but why do drivers do this? Why would you drive at excessive speeds during inclement weather? I don't understand.

I had to go to my dad's house to keep warm. I took my pooches to keep them warm as well. My inlaws don't let our dogs go to their house. My dad is on blood thinners so the house was a toasty 80 degrees. I would normally balk at this temperature, but I was just glad to be warm. My dad later needed cigarettes and soda...essential items, So we went to the drug store. I couldn't let him drive. He would have surely ended up in a ditch. Some Popeye Chicken later, everyone is now home, warm, and safe. 

Day 15 - Snack Time

Back at work from another snow day. I didn't have any food to bring. There were no restaurants open. I ate some grapes and cheese leftover from the retirement party on Friday! I also had a handful of raisinettes and cashews. Geez.  

Day 14 - Snowed In Again

Snowed in again. Argh!!! Didn't do much today. Nothing to do. Go away snow. Darn groundhog! You lied. 

Day 13 - Same Old Sam Old

Today was ok. I didn't eat out and I went to the gym. Overall a good day. After getting my little one to bed, I'm watching an oldie, but goodie on television, "The Women of Brewster of Place." Wow, this is still a good movie and I hadn't seen it in forever. I'm trying to enjoy as much television as I can before I get rid of cable tv. Yes, I will be cutting the cord and will be using Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, and Sling TV. Yes, Sling TV gives you a few additional cable stations without needing cable. I'm a little nervous since I'm a television addict. Seriously, like what am I going to do...read a book? Well, maybe an ebook. 

Day 12 - Lunch Out

Had lunch with a girlfriend today and the little one. My little one threw her chicken fingers. I had a veggie omelet, not pancakes. Overall, a good day. Could have definitely spent less money on the lunch part.
