Smells like Rain

It may be 2 minutes before 4am as I start typing this thought, but I acutally don't mind. Despite the time, I'm glad I spent it getting things done instead of being upset about not being able to sleep. Okay, so I thought about it while I was working, LOL, the point still stands, damn it!

I finally emptied the freezer, cleaned it out, went through things (OMG, I still have no idea what a couple of things are that I took out from the back, LOL, all I know is that they could be up to 2 years old ), organized it, and took inventory of what was there. Now I can open/dig in/stock the freezer without closing the door and running from the occasional frozen food avalanche. I already cleaned, organized, and inventoried one cabinet earlier this month (it wasn't scary like the freezer), and I still have two more to do. The remaining cabinets aren't even bad or full, I just need to take note of everything I have. I want to plug everything into a recipe site so I can find new things to make (I gave up enchiladas for a few months just so I could eat them again... two meals of them and I'm tired of them again!) with what I have on hand, and eat at home more. It was fun going out, but last week I ate way too many meals out.

I won't lie, I had Taco Bell for dinner last night, LOL. I actually have their taco seasoning, plenty of ground beef, shells, cheese, and even hot sauce from their restaurant. A box of shells and I could have saved a few bucks. Browning some ground beef would have taken less effort than getting LeeLee and myself ready and heading out and back.

While I didn't get through more than half of my list of things to do for the day, I did get some work done so I'm pleased. Sunday night I cleaned out all of my coupons and my purse, and updated both my budget spreadsheet and the savings (tracking my coupon use) spreadsheet.


Oh, and I was supposed to post pictures from my Project 365 task. I'm just not very pleased with them. Since I started the New Year in a horrible mood (and things got worse for a while), I didn't stick with it. I started over on the 17^th. I forgot to take my camera with me one day and ended up taking the picture when I arrived home after midnight, yet I'm going to keep going. I expect something to happen from time to time during the remainder of the year, so I'm not upset about it. I learned a couple of new things about my camera. The pictures are better, just boring since I started doing the project again as more of a chore than something fun. That will change, and I'll start sharing.
