I had three mandarins, apple slices, walnuts, slivers of baked ham, swiss, and cheddar cheeses, and half a banana tossed together without dressing for supper last night. Twas yum. We demolished a vat of pintos cooked with the ham for dinners last week. And there's a vat of vegebarleybeef soup on the stove, aroma-torture till it's done.
Of course I inhaled a half-pound bag of M&Ms--peanut though, so, protein. And we had ham-egg-and-cheese biscuits for supper one night, because ham. We seem to do better when there are serving-sized gladware boxes of beans, lentils, soup, etc. on hand. Rarer defaulting to a handful of chips and candy.
I should probably have a dishpan full of salad, at some point.
I really need to get a slow cooker so I can make things over the weekend like the balsamic roast beef I found. I've got a freezer which I should use for more than fish and pizza.
I want to send Christmas cards, but the generic store ones are mostly stupid and expensive ($15-20 for 8 cards??) and I feel dumb sending cards with photos of me or that I took...it somehow feels way more awkward as a single person than as a couple or family. Like, photos I took is a little too "look how cool I am I went cool places!" --and because I'm always the one taking photos all my photos of me are selfies.
The ones at Target are THAT expensive?
Hallmark stores tend to have boxes of fairly decent cards, and it seems like it worked out to about $1/card the last time I bought some.
I miss eating my feelings. It's my normal coping mechanism.
Amen
I feel dumb sending cards with photos of me or that I took
Whereas I'd love to receive something like that.
I try to buy cards during the after Christmas sales to use the following year. I LOVE sending cards. If anyone here wants one and you don't think I have your snail mail address, you are welcome to hit up my profile address.
Which reminds me, I need to find the cards I stashed away last year. I THINK I know where they are.
I keep forgetting to come here and yell instead of getting fire all over the internets.
Timelies all!
Today was my first day without the brace. Mostly things feel fine, but I did have to walk from the Metro stop to my lab and back. (Brought the car to the dealer to get a software update to fix something with the emergency brake- there was a recall letter). Little sore...
Come here and yell!
I did not check target yet, but the drugstore cards were all pretty ugly. The ones I really liked were $15 a box though, at the local card/gift store. Not sure where a Hallmark store is around here...
Suzi, so if I sent out a Christmas card of like,tulips and flamingos, that wouldn't be obnoxious and weird?
I feel like the cards we bought at Target (or maybe Meijer) were something like 15 cards for $7-ish. But maybe they actually suck. They seemed okay, though.
