Yeah, but nifty! I am often financially irresponsible in the face of shiny gadgets.

I hate CFLs. I have a halogen bulb in one of my living room lamps, and it's good; the light is very much like an incandescent, but a little whiter. LED lights are good too. I'm still bitter that I can't buy 75-watt incandescents anymore.

BTW, this 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon is delish. This one I didn't buy because I liked the label - it's a Muir-Hanna which probably means I bought it at a fundraiser involving John Muir's House, although I do tend to pick them up whenever I see them because (a) the John Muir connection and (b) I trust them to taste good. Muir-Hanna Amberglow is my quintessential fall wine.

I'm lazier than the rest of you. I slow cook a bunch of one dish meals in huge ass quanties over the course of a few days, divided them into two person portions, and freeze them. I end up cooking dinner four (in larges quantities) to six days a month, Actual dinner I heat is just heating up my homemade frozen in the microwave. Anyone who can beat me for laziness when it comes to dinner is rich enough to eat out a lot or has a high tolerance for non home-made frozen dinners.

Hahahah! My "dinner" tonight has been: leftover pretzel chips, dried apples, and a candy bar.

Lunch was an apple and cheese (*presliced* cheese, even, from trader joe's).

I actually do that a lot - 6 servings per recipe divided into half-pint mason jars. Breakfast, lunch and dinner. I just have this steak burning a hole in my freezer tonight - I have over a week's worth of food ready to be heated up or eaten cold right now.

ETA: the "bread" I am eating right now: baked last July

You are working off a different definition of "lazy" than I am! Signed, woman who is microwaving a pre-made frozen tuna casserole for dinner.

That is either a tuna casserole you made, in which case you are doing exactly what I do, or a frozen one you bought, in which case you are demonstrating the tolerance I mentioned.

Dinner was a "Thai" chicken wrap(I don't see what's particularly Thai about crunchy noodles and sesame dressing), potato chips and Pepsi. Quick airport dining at its finest....

Meanwhile, I managed to lose an earring and I have no idea where on when it happened. Kind of a bummer as the earrings were from a craft person I haven't seen in years, and have no contact info for.

My dinner was frozen lasagna, which was not very good, but I'm at the beginning of one of my "I'm going to be healthy!" cycles, so I just made a grocery list for stuff to get tomorrow.
