I can't believe the weekend is almost over. We have had a pretty decent one. Yesterday we got around and headed to the grocery store. $160.00 later we were out of there. We looked up a few new recipes and bought stuff to try them. Let's see what kind of goodies they make!!! One of them we have already had but not for along time. We are going to try to get back on the "trying something new" because we are just so burned out on the winter eating stuff. We hate it when we can't grill out. During the summer I bet we grill out 5 nights a week. So, needless to say when we have to eat something cooked inside all winter we struggle with stuff to eat. After the grocery we came home and ate some lunch and put Piper down for a nap. Steve went out and drove the VW Rabbit while she was napping. He said it was a nice car but smaller than the one we have so that isn't really what he wanted. So I guess he is going to pass for now.
After Piper got up we headed to Huntington to hang out with Grammy and Grandpa. We called them early in the day to see if they wanted us to come down and hang out. Adam and Natalie had friends coming over but they stopped by for a visit too. I took baby Norah a bunch of crap down. We pass most of Piper's things down to baby Norah. I am sure it helps Adam and Natalie out alot. I took them Piper's booster seat. It was great when she was little but now she needs to be pushed clear up to the table and it has arms on the side of it so we can't slide her all the way - and believe me she takes full advantage of that. I got 2 used booster seats from the neighbors - they were selling them on the Free and Reasonable site. What a great deal - I kept one here and took one to Grammy's for Piper to use and Norah when she gets a bit bigger. They are in good shape - Thanks Jill & Larry! (Timmy and Kimberly too!!)
Today we headed to the mall - Steve needed a calendar and I needed to pick up a birthday present for a friend. Steve still hasn't found a calendar yet and I did get my birthday present purchased so we were out of there. We decided to eat some lunch - neither of us could decide where so we tried the Golden Corral. WOW! I really don't like buffets and I remembered why shortly after we got there. I don't think we will be going back anytime soon. But Piper was free there and Riley(our eating machine) would only be $5 ----- now I know why their mom takes them there - hell 2 of her kids would be free and the bigger kids only $5 and they can eat till the puke! We still need to go to Target - so after our brat wakes up we are heading out again. I have my usual long list for my Target purchases.
You know one of my 2008 resolutions too is to use what we have before we buy more - always ask myself - "Do I have some of this to use already"??? because as I have wrote before we are a pretty wasteful family. So, with that I have a bunch of different kinds of lotions. I told myself before I buy ANYMORE I am going to use what I have. I counted today and I have 9 half used or just alittle used bottles. I also recently used one bottle up and have started on the next. That is freakin' ridiculous. Really - I guess I just kept buying a new kind when they bottle would change or whatever. Stupid it is. So - are you like me?????? Do you buy another toothpaste just because you are ready for something different or another lotion because you are 1/4 done with the one you have and want to try something different. Well, stop it. Unless its really, really bad what you bought or have - just use it up and then get a new kind. Think of the people that don't even have ONE!!!
We have been talking to Ashley all weekend. Either by text or phone. It's GREAT! Also, she sounds like such a grown-up when I talk to her. I hope that even if she doesn't make the honor roll her dad let's her keep the phone - just because I am finding out she really did "need" the phone. Well, not really but you know what I mean. Maybe I really "needed" her to have the phone!!!
