You may think I’m exagerating, but I spent the morning posting some stuff on Craigslist and cleaning off shelves in my room and at lunch I got hungry, but didn’t want to cook and had just paid off my credit cards (almost debt free except for those pesky student loans) so I’ve got less than $400 to get me through the next 2 weeks as I prepare to leave the country and I have several expenses including the water bill, gas, oil change, grooming Luna again, taking her in to the vet for her health certificate, the cost for her to be on the plane, and on and on. I acutally checked my balance and paid the bill because I was thinking about heading up to Ross to look for a cute short sleeved jacket, but realized that with my money situation, I can’t eat out, much less buy clothes. So this means I have to actually sew, hmm. This also means I need to do some mending because I have a couple of good comfy slacks whose cuffs have been released from their stitched fates and who need to be restitched. Okay and my room looks like a disaster area with clothes and books and stuff everywhere. I so need more boxes because I have only 2 more and a lot of stuff to find new homes for. It’s so hard to see what I need to keep for when I return and what can just go away.
Oh yeah, back to the graham crackers, love them and they were open on the desk in the front room this morning. I guess my sister dug into them as she was watching tv and surfing myspace last night. Anyway, so I finished off the packet gradually. Like I would grab one or 2, then clean off a shelf, then grab some more and some more and soon the package was empty. they have been my nemesis this week, but that was the last of them, so hopefully they will not be seen before I leave. However, knowing my Mom, she will buy them. I know she will. My Mom likes to talk about losing weight and eating healthily, but when she gets to the store she buys things like Doritos and Oreos and bagels. You know, stuff guarenteed to make you gain weight and raise your cholesterol and bp. I mean, why does she do that. She knows that she and my Dad need to watch what they eat. Why does she not simply avoid buying the bad stuff and then they can just grab it from the snack machines at work or something. I mean, its not like she can say “The kids needs it, so I’m buying it for them”. No, my youngest sister is 16 and doesn’t need that stuff any more than I do. Really. My philosophy is simple not to buy junk food and then I can’t eat it. Win win save money and save calories.
So enough of a rant about my Mom. I love her, just worry about her sometimes. Atkins never worked for her beacuse she loves bread to much to stick with it, but she’s eating ‘low fat’ right now and I’ve seen no weight loss and not seen her becoming smaller, so maybe no diet will work for her and she needs to just eat less. Wait, I was going to stop talking about her.
So today I’m have chicken caesar salad for linner at 5:00 and at 10:00 I’m have a TexMex burger, or maybe eggs, whatever I’m in the mood for. I’m going to stop on my way home at Kroger and Minyard on a search for boxes. Wish me luck.
