Shaking my head

Well at least I can say that some things are going to be crazy for the day here totally.  Since some had forgot that the dish will be hooked up today and I have to wait on them here then go pick up my Husband after that part.  So now with that being said here there will be a drive of course and I am not looking forward to it at all.  Either way here it is not looking good for alot of things here now and I will be a hurting gal by the time I get done here.  Now I am looking forward to having 2 cheaper bills around here to say the least and go from there every month at this time.  Between the phone bill and the dish I should be ok at this point on that part of things here since I can get the other bills down also here for the household totally after this part.  Now with a few things it makes me wander here when some say it is not worth in what I have been doing here at all for being cheap.  With some of the neighbors they do not get in what I am doing and others have more than got it at this time.  Some have also realized that I have set goals for the bills in my place also here and asked some of the neighbors to ball park their bills totally also when I first moved in.  So after I got the range here on part of the block I knew that I could get at least the power bill down to where it was about 50 dollars a month totally.  Now at this point during the winter months it has been lower than that here since the dryer has hardly been used here along with nobody using it here also since about Febuary on top of it all.  With that part of things it works out better than what others may have figured it would.  Another thing that I have seen for the household here is that other things have been sticking around also here and it is a huge deal to me for the budget.  Since I go to Aldi more often now since nobody will cut me down for that part of things anymore I feel better about it all.  Pluss this year I will be making one pie here for next week and nobody will complain about it at all.  It goes along with not having runny green beans also for the hollidays.  Ok so I had a good laugh last year and I will always have it here with me.  Now since I will have the leftovers here for the household even better than what I thought it would be for a days worth of cooking totally.  Also since I could not lift the bird last year it made me realize that in why all of the hollidays of why I want my Husband around besides eating a home cooked meal.  One of the little things that I worry about here in my place.  So now here I may as well start cleaning again and wait on the people to start installing things for the household to save money on that bill.

Well some stress already

There is some stress around here and nothing that I can not handle at all. Most of it is alot of bakeing and pulling stuff out for tomarrow. Pluss I need to get over to Walmart for Real Milk for tomarrow anyway. Pluss my Husband came in early yesterday and coulden't believe that both sinks wer full of dirty dishes. That is what I get for cooking for most of the day. And a quick phone call to my one grandmother to talk with her while I was getting the sauce ready. That was all that I needed for it to turn out right. If I knew that 15 years ago then I would have called her more while I was makeing the sauce. Pluss the dog was totally funny yesterday when I got the sauce done. She wanted a taste of it and wanted more after that. At this point I am trying to plot out most of the day and trying to get my toush into gear to get alot of this done no matter how warm it gets in the can today. I will be hollering for more fans to get them in the windows around here. Once I get started I should be ok around here on the bakeing and dethawing. I am not sure on the ham or the chicken for tomarrow. I haven't made ham for awhile anyway and that was over 2 years ago for the buff babies. Well now lets see what I can do with this one. Some folks that won't be here at my place and refuse to come over will not know what they are missing for dinner eather way. Not my loss on it again becuase my door is always open to most folks for the holliday dinners. As I say ya snooze ya loose and hatered just grows untill you get to the point of madness. That is why I stoped hateing years ago. Instead the next day with myself I come up swinging and work it off untill I figure it all out. Ok folks have fun and play hard.

Adopting more around here

Well today I was shopping for Santa here for the feather and fur balls around here.  There were ferrets up for adoption also.  The sales folks were funny on asking if I delt with ferrets before.  I said yes and these ones couldent get into the walls this time thanks to extra blocking in the bathroom.  Gas water heaters and on the outside wall that needed to have air.  So now they will call me if there are more that they need help with.  Ferrets are easy to take care of if you have had a 2 year old in the house then that is about what a ferret acts like.  They fall asleep in the most unlikely places at all times.  Anyway now to sit back and wait on a call.  Pluss I got to figure out what to make for dinner tonight.  I don't have a clue at all at this point.  Since it is to late to make bread for dinner tonight maybe pasta tonight.  I still have the jar sauce left here.  As I say shop around for the best deals out there and you can always spice up the jar sauce anytime of day.  Normally I make the sauce and I have ran out of it.  Also I want to cook light for this week anyway becuase by Friday I will be cooking a huge meal once again.  It isen't that bad once you start into it as always.  Just get alot of the prep work done the day before and things go pretty smooth the next day.  I say this becuase stuff is too hot to stick in the bird at 5 am.  Pluss with the pies they are better the second day of course.  I can say that you can make a huge dinner for cheap and I have done it around here.  The one year I spent 30 dollars for a holiday dinner and had meals for a good week between lunch and dinner.  It drove the Hippies sister nuts around here.  Well the spoiled brat dident help that none.  When I had turkey everything almost and was makeing more from the left overs.  I wasen't going out to pick something up for the girl niether at that point.  Eat what's here or starve till morning becuase that is what I had in the can at the time.  I am still like that today.  Ok folks have fun and play hard.

Thank goodness for Aldi

Well I am still putting away from the Aldi trip.  I still do not get any help from the Hippy at all.  That is why I have been busting my butt all day and will keep busting it untill I get the can clean enough to where I am comfertable.  Pluss I still need to pull the bird out of the deep freezer as normal.  This is bad becuase I still need to rearange and clean out the fridge from what the Hippy does to it over the weekends.  A 20 lb bird isen't much is it since I really do not know in how many people are really coming over.  Pluss leftovers so I can cook more than my fair share of everything.  All I need is some gravey and I am set.  Ok folks if your household doesen't like leftovers tough now is the time of year to start out on the leftovers.  Leftovers is what keeps some households going.  Like my can.  I can really laugh now becuase I will have 101 ways of turkey for a week after I cook the bird.  I shake my head at the folks who refuse to eat leftovers.  Some is better over the days after it has been cooked like sauce and turkey.  Turkey pot pie with the green bean casserole and a few other things also.  Sonney was so right about what she said about makeing good use of the leftover turkey dinner.  Now some of the kids I would have invited over for turkey dinner I won't do it now.  The ones who need the shock collers.  They can go hungery again this year.  I have called CPS here and they do not wanna do anything not my problem I did my job by letting them know about the kids that haven't ate in days and the parent who is there just don't care.  If I did something like that my toush would have been strung up and then some in what the low life is doing to his 2 children.  But I am the one who gets ragged on for everything so I gave up and will keep what I have to protect my own place.  As some said I am a Man hater anyway and I really Hate a man who abuses his children and other Women on top of it.  Ok folks have fun and play even harder.

Good day today

Well good day today got the shipment and the breaks done.  Pluss a trip to Walmart today.  Well I had to pick some things up today and get the breaks bleed a bit longer.  Love my shop guy.  I am a happy happy girl at this point.  Cooking with what I love to cook with and good food in the kitchen coming out yummy.  I can say being cheap is well worth the trouble around my place.  I saved at least 30 dollars without coupons today at Walmart.  And that was just the sales alone.  I diden't pick up another turkey becuase they ran out of the 19 cents per pound birds today so it saved me dropping one on my foot this time.  Well Walmart is cheaper than the regular grocery chains up here at this point in time.  Now if I had brought coupons on top of it today the cashier would have been loveing me kinda along with the cans.  The poor guy was just plain hungery today.  The gal infront of me was going to make blueberry pies I'm makeing the honey oatmeal.  I felt sorry for the guy checking us out.  And Aldi will being visited tomarrow also.  I am not done shopping at all this month.  I have been running low of course but haven't bothered to run to the store except for the little things.  Well almost 50 dollars later at Walmart today and a ton of food of course I really need canned goods also.  And most of the next Thursdays meal is here in the can.  Real mashed taters with sour cream, cheese and a few other things mixed in, pluss the green bean casserole yummy.  I am craveing alot of the holliday dishes already.  Do it cheap as you can.  Folks wont know the differance anyway.  Ok have fun and play even harder.
