Hey Everyone
Well.. Apparently this is just not going to be a big week for me lol. I just do not have any oomph to me for some reason. Let’s just blame that stinkin’ eclipse right? Which here where I am was a big bummer – it really didn’t get that dark. I mean you think 97% is a lot of coverage till you think about how bright the sun is you know? I mean it did get dark, don’t get me wrong but nothing like all the pretty stuff they streamed on the nasa channel! I will say that in the house with the shades closed it was really dark though- and usually you can see light coming in through them. I took some random pics before the eclipse from the patio, out in the yard and even during in the house but I never did put them up…
I had the absolute best sandwich ever that I made for lunch yesterday. I had got some roast beef at Aldi- because I hate turkey and don’t eat ham so yeah. .. that is about all the choices I ever have for meat at walmart unless I go to the deli and pay premium prices. I actually bought some really good roast there that was in a pack already at the deli a few weeks ago… it was supposed to be 6 bucks which was fine with me- but later on I was looking at my receipt – we had bought a lot of stuff that day and that stuff had rang up for 9.98! Anyways, Aldi had some roast beef when David and I were in there for like 2.99 i think it was and it is JUST AS GOOD!
I made the sandwich on sourdough bread (also aldi) and some dukes mayo and some pickles and banana peppers. I plan to have another one today actually! a little bit of chips and iced tea w/lemon – yummy yummy in nichole’s tummy 🙂
I need to figure out something quick and easy for dinner but not thought of anything yet- since David has that interview this afternoon he’ll barely have time to get home and get cleaned up and eat- which would be most days if he gets this job…I have my fingers crossed that he does get it because I admit that it would be a big help …especially if just for little while to get trip money/spending money/money to save for when rent goes up. I mean we could move but .. I don’t know. WE have a limit for here at one point we said if it got to 1000 we’d stop after that and we are at like 930 I think? I Figure it will go up quite a bit- though our apt. is not remodeled like some of these so they can’t go up too much I don’t think?
There really aren’t that many places to go that are that much cheaper at this point that would make it worth it. If my old rent lady had something back in town that would be an option but omg I don’t want to live in town again – I really don’t! I mean I love our old apt up there but ugh! That just puts a strain on the car with the travel and gas and maintenance and it would run up the miles and then you know The deposits there aren’t too bad because she generally gives me a free first month, then I just pay her deposit and the gas/power
the only real other option(s) are over where David is from and with the deposits and pet deposits and this and that – we’d have to take out a loan from the quarry for the money… and with our crap credit the deposits would be crazy high 🙁 I got lucky when we moved here because we only paid $100 difference than normal which was fine. Meh..
Which as always there are things we could cut out – like eating out (we used to do so good- though it is going to start being dark earlier and I really don’t get out as much when that happens) then just random BS spending that could be cut out-I think everyone has that though 🙂 It is all good it will work out- it always does 🙂 Oh and if David is working in the evenings -no time to go out to eat too lol.
Well.. I’m off of here to see what I can inspire myself to get into today- maybe some writing and such. I am so out on my trip sponsors and that tangent that I need to orient myself and work on gift guide for a bit- though I don’t really know if i am going to be pitching that much for that until after my trip so.. we’ll see 🙂
later taters
