weekend is finally here

OH.. it's Saturday already? Wow, the week went by quickly. Not alot got done but also some much needed stuff did. I can look back on the week and say I'm not completely disappointed. I plan on next week taking the girls to the zoo with our zoo pass. It expires on the 31st, so I would at least like to take them 2 more times before it does. Luckily, the zoo lets you bring in coolers, bags, etc., so that you don't have to buy food there. That is a great thing considering I have plenty of snack foods to take with us. The girls don't get hungry when they have too much fun. It is the farthest thing from their minds when they are busy. I just plan on taking some fresh fruit, fruit snacks and some juice boxes. All of which I already have on hand so my expenses won't be overdone.


This Saturday I decided not to go anywhere just to enjoy today and the weather. The windows are open and at this point the weather is right around 65 degrees with only a high of 75!! In JULY? NEED I say it again?? When I got up this morning, I decided to go ahead and get on something to eat since I passed last night. I had 4 eggs in the fridge, some mushrooms, jalapeno slices, shredded cheese, sour cream, tortillas and salsa. What sounds better than breakfast burritos? The girls and I love them, so I whip up some scrambled eggs mex-i-can style wrap it all up and serve them warm. Yummy is the word for the girls while they proceed to speak with their mouthes full.

Much to my desire to not do anything, I know in the back of my mind that Meijer is still having the 2 day sale, which I feel is an opportunity to pick up quite a few things that are on sale. Boy am I glad I did. I was just walking along happily and found out that the Meijer in my area is supposedly not going to be selling furniture anymore. I got the prettiest end table for $8.00, it was 90% off! It is a cherry stain and fit perfectly in my living room. I got a few other good things but didn't get any grocery purchases..so no money on that end spent in my budget.
After coming home, it was lunch time but honestly, I wasn't that hungry so I decided upon just making another smoothie with some bananas, peaches and yogurt. I decide to get my green beans I bought last night a'cookin..hehe. Green beans aren't green beans unless they have LOTS of seasoning and flavor. Honestly, who really likes green beans when they are straight out of a can?? UGH..either way. Chuck finally gets home from work and informs me that his boss gave him some brisket. So, guess we are having brisket instead of chicken. No biggie. He smoked it all day with hickory pellets and the girls will eat it so I put in the oven and let it warm. The green beans were great, the brisket..not so much. A lil' tough still so I opt out after about 2 bites. Chuck finishes off everyone elses leftovers. More power to ya buddy!
Saturday came and went and I was ready for bed after watching (well almost all) a movie.
