kinda proud

So for the most part Brandy and I have been very good about bringing lunch to work. Today was a treat day and we went to Arctic Circle for lunch. It wasn't hard for me to do it as I have been eating Chicken Tacos for like 3 days.  Next week we will try for the whole week. I know it's saving money, but funny enough I'm not really seeing the savings. It's there I just can't see it.

I'm also very proud of Dan. He has gotten up every morning this week and made us breakfast. Tuesday through Thursday it was cereal and a carton of Fiber One yogurt, but it's nice to not have to try to figure out what I am going to eat, let alone be able to skip McDonald's. This morning (Friday) He made me scrambled eggs, hash browns, and bacon. He made too much potato, but it was so yummy. 

We have also been really good about eating at home. We made it 3 out of 4 days. Tonight neither of us was up for cooking. (we were going to have chicken and well frankly I got tired of chicken. lol)  I ran to Ab's drive thru. It was pricey, $15.00 for both of us, but it was nice to just grab it and eat at home. Tomorrow we will eat at home. We might have to go grocery shopping, but we will eat at home.  Chicken for dinner tomorrow. :(

I also want to make my breads tomorrow. Zucchini and Banana bread. I want to test my recipes and see if they taste good. If so, then I will make them for X-mas and freeze them. Or at least freeze the Zuc's. Then I can make them fresh in December. I was going to make Cherry Jelly for presents, but since I waited too long to pick the cherries, I don't think I will have enough to make more than a couple of jars.  But there is always next year!

I got Cantaloupe from Meredith. They must be pretty ripe because I can smell them so well.  They made me fruit high while I was at work. and of course because I bought two, jokes were around aplenty. When I was leaving I had to carry them out. One of the guys I work with said something about needing help carrying my Melons. I couldn't help it. I looked at him and said: "I've been waiting all my life for someone to say that to me."  It was great.

Well it's late. 9/11 is here.  Crazy how time dulls the pain. I will never forget where I was or what I was doing when I first heard the news, but now it's become more of a past thing. I don't want to down play it all. I'm just saying that I've started to become a bit numb.  However once I wake up I will hold my own respectful silence and say a prayer for the Victims and Survivors.  I will hope for peace and pray for our troops.
God Bless America!
