Check and Check

Took my bubblebaths - one a week for a month. I am sure that this will continue until it gets warm out, anyway. We also used our entire tax return to pay off debt. I can't wait until the year when we can use it for something fun!

Last week's meal was pulled pork. This week I am making elk chili. Next week my mom will be in town (God help me) so I already have pulled pork, mac & cheese, and elk lasagna ingredients at the ready.

Lent starts on Wednesday so I am taking that opportunity to give up pop for 30 days (40 actually).

Off the wagon

Well, I didn't make my one month of bed making. Monday 2 of the cats were on it while I was getting ready for work and I just didn't throw them off. Oh well. Back to square one.

This week's meal of the week was spaghetti with homemade sauce with ground turkey. I'm not a huge spaghetti fan, but Scott is, so I decided to treat him to some. Next week's meal is going to be pulled pork. I haven't made that in a month or so.

The dining room table is doing well. I can't remember what day I started that - did I blog it? It's been at least 2 weeks.

Cold beer here!

In all honesty, I should have set my goal to be to try 15 new beers or something. Too easy. We're in Minnesota at my dad's house and I finished my quest to try 5 new beers by having 2 new ones last night: August Schell's Snow Storm and Pale Ale. Loved the Snow Storm, Pale Ale was eh. I'd drink it again only if my other choices were domestics.

I've considered asking to go to my grandma's grave, but since it's winter in Minnesota it might be hard to actually see it or spend time at it. I think we'll save this for late in the summer when we come back.
