24 Days of Christmas

December 2nd

Work all day, train into town. Happy hour in Pacific Place, watch the faux snow fall. Hair cut. Home relaxing.

25 Days of Christmas

December 1st.

Took day off, had Phase I of a crown on my tooth; went for breakfast with a friend came home, took some pain killers and took a long three hour nap. Watched Obama's speech and then went for a walk in the neighborhood to see the lights. Bought a Christmas shortbread cookie with pink sprinkle sugar. By 8PM several homeless fellas hunkered down in store front doorways. A dry Seattle night for street sleeping I suppose but very thankful for my warm and cozy bed at home.

Budget Meal for Next Week: - Knorr Teriyaki Rice mix ($.99) add 2 cups cooked barley (from pantry,) mix thoroughly. Blanch sliced carrots until just al dente. Slice and fry until crisped/browned Hillshire smoked turkey sausage (4 oz from freezer). When sausage is done add to rice mixture, add al dente carrots and toss/mix. Do not over toss. Should make 4 to 6 servings perfect for lunches.

I was going to shop this w/e at Safeway, I have a $25 gift card and buy produce and eggs, but I think I am going to see if I can bypass that. Thursday is pay-day. I love eggs, so I will see if Walgreens has a $1.50 special on eggs, if they do I will get a dozen there, even tho I hate white eggs but my desire for a bargain outstrips my desire for brown eggs, besides when hard boiled, they peel better. Any cheap deals Walgreens has on snacks I will consider buying; I need to peruse their flyer if I want to go there tomorrow morning.

Saturday morning I was going to go buy a fuschia for my balcony but that will cost $17.99 plus tax. I think I may wait on that and see if I can score something on sale for less in the next week or two. My window boxes are quite fine for right now.

I had this envelop of various cards that I went through last night (because I was trying to remember where that Safeway card was!) and I also came across enough "stamps" for two free Teriyaki meals and two AMC Movie theatre cards, one cards has $9.75 on it and the other card has $1.25 on it ... so I think I'd have enough for a before noon movie and a kid pack, yeah I would, before noon is $6.00 and a kid pack is $6.00 also but I like the Icee so that ups the price a dollar or two, but worth it. Maybe I'll go to a movie on Sunday. This sounds dorky, but I would like to see the Hannah Montana Movie. I think she's really cool and I do wish I could go back and re-do my adolesence, I would do things so differently!

Well, it has been on hell of a week, I am so happy it is the weekend, I am mentally fried. I can barely keep my eyes open so I will wrap things up for the evening.
