Day Sixteen - BBQ Pizza

Today I overslept (Making up for yesterday I guess) so I didn't have time to get breakfast, and I had forgotten to bring a lunch along with me. I was not happy, and neither was my tummy. I complained to my boyfriend (who lives about 2000 miles away currently, it's hard but we make it work) just as a way to vent my frustration, and lo and behold, 20 minutes later, a pizza deliveryman arrives with a piping hot pizza for me. I'm definitely a lucky girl.

Day Twelve - a good sale

I love a good sale. I'm a single mom working full time under minimum wage, with three hungry teenagers eating all my food, (What's a full refrigerator look like?) so when there's a good sale at the local butcher, I'm SO there. Picked up enough locally raised beef/pork/chicken to last me through two whole weeks, and I spent under $85. I even had enough to get some locally grown produce as well. I can't wait to cook some of this pot roast!

Day two - learning new words in a different language!

Today's joy is brought to you by a random beefy italian guy named Joe who stopped to chat with me at the grocery store while I perused the pasta and told me that Cannoli means "faucet", Cappuchino refers to a monk in dark brown robes, and "Farfalle" means butterfly. I have no idea if any of that's correct, but it made me happy all the same.

Day One - Orange juice

A huge glass of cold orange juice in the morning BEFORE I brush my teeth. Siiiiip, aaaaaaaah. Yea, you probably don't want to breathe the air near me but man, is it good.
