Hi gang!\u00a0 We worked it pretty good last night at SF<\/abbr> so I was a little famished when we got back home.\u00a0 I went round and round on what to eat and finally decided on something filling and comforting.<\/p>\n

\"Whole<\/p>\n

Hi pita!\u00a0 Toasted WW<\/abbr> pita with PB<\/abbr> and honey.\u00a0 Goodness but I love this snack.\u00a0 PB<\/abbr> + honey on toast was always something I had at my grandmother’s house when I spent the night.\u00a0 I never had it at home because no one made it and I don’t even think we had honey too often.\u00a0 When I started living on my own (on my own being, with Scott after college) I would make it all the time.\u00a0 Especially when I wasn’t feeling well.\u00a0 Now that I try not to eat empty calories, I’ve switched to pitas.\u00a0 They are healthier and also pack some protein along with good carbs.\u00a0 Score!\u00a0 I snacked and watched some TV for about half an hour and then hit the hay.<\/p>\n

Where I passed out till after 8am this morning.\u00a0 Glorious!\u00a0 It was so nice to have a great night’s sleep and not feel so groggy when I woke up this morning.\u00a0 I also woke up starving so I guess I worked it harder in SF<\/abbr> than I originally thought!<\/p>\n

While it stormed and pitched a fit outside, I made us some breakfast.\u00a0 Super duper basic oatbran with coconut and pecans on top and a smidge of vanilla almond butter too.\u00a0 Coffee and creamer.\u00a0 Ick.\u00a0 But I’m out of the good stuff so I have to make due.<\/p>\n

\"Bowl<\/p>\n

I ate breakfast and putzed around on the computer.\u00a0 Then I had to hightail it over to the salon to finally get my legs defuzzed.\u00a0 I almost cried when the chic who does my legs said that the hair might not be long enough.<\/p>\n

Wha?!<\/p>\n

She did a test patch and it worked so I was able to get waxed.\u00a0 There were some baby fine hairs that didn’t come up but I don’t care about those.\u00a0 They don’t get long or look uggy so it’s cool.\u00a0 After having hot wax dripped on me, it was a quick run to The Anderson’s.\u00a0 I needed some treats for Rocks and was out of bananas and you know how it goes.\u00a0 I picked up some produce, most for a great price.\u00a0 When I got to the checkout the cashier told me the green peppers I got were 99cents a piece, did I still want them.\u00a0 Sure. I was already there and didn’t feel like having to run them back.<\/p>\n

Of course once we got out in the parking lot, I really did pitch a fit.\u00a0 99cents per green pepper, seriously?!\u00a0 That’s loaded with the crazy.\u00a0 And it made me realize that I need to start paying closer attention to the produce I buy and it’s prices.\u00a0 All of our grocery budget is on produce.\u00a0 There are very few prepackaged things we buy.\u00a0 We do buy them, don’t get me wrong but it’s on occasion not every time at the store.\u00a0 And once produce is gone you have to get more so there’s more money.<\/p>\n

Vicious cycle!<\/p>\n

Do you all read my fave due, A&E<\/a>?\u00a0 If you do not, you totally should and I promise that they did not pay me to say this.\u00a0 A is currently working on a budget and comparing prices for the things she buys at different stores, creating a spreadsheet for cross-reference and then seeing what the results are and working with that.\u00a0 I informed Scott that we need to do the same thing because the grocery bills are insane.\u00a0 Especially today when all I picked up were just a few veggies and fruits that we were out of (like salad mix) and our bill was 80some dollars for just a few things.<\/p>\n

This is not acceptable.<\/p>\n

I should be able to buy produce at a reasonable price that is not going to cost our household a ton each month.\u00a0 This is my newest mission.\u00a0 I’ll keep you posted whether you’re interested or not. ;)<\/p>\n

Moving along, when we got back home it was time for lunch.\u00a0 I was starved but it was also late in the day (like going on 3pm) so I didn’t want a bunch to eat.\u00a0 I had a lame salad with a fabbo smoothie.<\/p>\n
