In The Dark

Today was just a tad on the boring side.

We were getting our electricity switched over from old school glass fuses to the breaker system. Turns out if you can't sell a home with our current system! (Nana is not selling right now, but just for future reference). So because the electricity was off most of the day so that the electrician wouldn't end up like this Marc and I sat around bored, trying to stay awake since we had to wake up at 7am.

At around 11 I decided that we really needed some groceries so I headed out to go take care of business. I have been trying to make coupons work for me like my sister does but my state is stupid and it just doesn't work out. I still got to do 5 double coupons today at Pick N Save but my bill was still crazy. I didn't even buy meat! Oh well.

Today was our first real flurry day, it's funny because I remember last year's first day was Dec. 1st too! I love the snow though, at least I have something pretty to look at instead of just being freezing! Our space heater kicks bootie too, awesome!


Today was just a tad on the boring side.

SO..it's official. Frankie has to go get his claws out and his kahones removed. He is too much of a little rebel and scratched Nana. I really don't know what to do with him. I love him, but he is being too much of a hellion. It'll be interesting to see how different he acts once he's fixed.



On to homework time. I have to write an essay critiquing another essay. Joy.

I'm hoping Marc and I can get our tree up this Friday and I'm enjoying some Hot cocoa by the fire, this really is a cozy time of year!



Cheers! P.S. I swear I'll get my act together one of these days and take my own pictures!

Let's be productive!

Last night Marc and I carved our Jack O Lanterns!!





Cute huh? Mine is the one on the right, Marc's was from a Buddhist book cover that was pretty cool :). I sprinkled the insides with cinnamon so they would smell yummy!

I didn't really do much productive things today. I did all the dishes up and tried to straighten the house but man that is SUCH A CHORE, we have so much stuff I just don't know what to do with it all! One of these days I've just got to buck up and take care of it. Easier said than done. These days I'm lucky to get an hour of free time per day (at home) so I don't want to start that kind of project only to be interrupted almost right when I start! I got a bit done and let Violet out to play some. She chewed up my hair dryer cord, thankfully not enough to make it stop working. I think all of our electrical cords are taped up due to her haha! Stinker.

Today we went to the bank, library, and then grocery shopping. I'm still stuck on soft foods so we had to be creative and think of some yummy soft foods for the next couple days. We picked up slim fasts, bananas, fixings for burritos, spicy mac and cheese, instant potatoes, and this yummy yogurt.



It's nice to get a break from the really healthy eating but I do feel pretty guilty, hopefully soon i can get to eating better! I'm usually having oatmeal with banana for breakfast, or eggs like this morning, and then today I had a whole wheat bean burrito and yogurt for lunch and a Slimfast for dinner. When I get home I'll probably eat something light before bed because I'm still pretty hungry.

The weather is still incredibly windy, cold, and gloomy! Winter is on it's way! Here are some pictures I snapped on my way to work.











Well now I'm off to finish some homework for English Class! Have a good night!
