OptomisticGirl Posted August 30, 2012 Author Share Posted August 30, 2012 Lol, very true. But it's still something we constantly have to discuss (time wise) as everything unfolds because it is something we both want and feel passionate about. It's just one of those 'normal' things we look forward to and it helps with the time apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OptomisticGirl Posted August 31, 2012 Author Share Posted August 31, 2012 Has spent the last 2 hours creating a spread sheet so I can track my monthly expenses easier (and better). I'm exhausted. Jasper gave up on me going to bed hours ago and has crashed on the arm of the couch - lately he's been going to bed when I do and sleeping directly on L's pillow. So it's bed time for this girl.

OptomisticGirl Posted September 1, 2012 Author Share Posted September 1, 2012 ^ I'm such a nerd for wanting to go a head and fill it out, lol I'm currently surrounded by Christmas decorations in my living room - had decorations in storage and now I'm going through everything to see what I want to keep and what to toss - and it generally needs to be organized. And of course once I realize something is unorganized in a major way my OCD kicks in. Cue being surrounded by blue, green, red, gold, silver, and purple Christmas decorations at 10 PM in September. Oh, and it's a MONTH until L arrives!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted September 1, 2012 Author Share Posted September 1, 2012 Why is my anxiety suddenly reared it's ugly head at the thought of tomorrow being 29 days until L arrives? It's like once we get into the 20's my anxiety just rears its ugly head about him getting in. Thanks anxiety, at least you waited until the last month to show up!

OptomisticGirl Posted September 1, 2012 Author Share Posted September 1, 2012 I have a headache but dang it this week meals are planned out. I don't think I did too bad either considering most of the spices for the stuff is the same (and I need to build up my spices). Tonight and tomorrow: Tacos (not healthy but simple and I know what I'm doing) Monday: chicken breast with asparagus Tuesday: spaghetti (with homemade sauce, not can) Wednesday: left over spaghetti Thurs: steak, red potatoes, and broccoli Fri: pan roasted chicken with shallots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hers Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Are you still crock pot cooking? I have found some blogs that list shopping lists and full recipes for meals that you just throw in freezer bags and then when you're ready, take out of the bags and throw in the crock pot. So so easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted September 1, 2012 Author Share Posted September 1, 2012 I have a crock pot (that I think still works, one I had in storage). I think next week will be a bunch of those type meals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OptomisticGirl Posted September 2, 2012 Author Share Posted September 2, 2012 Do you have a publix near you? The one by me always has it BOGO for $6 Not that I know of. I went to Quality Foods tonight (specials on meat and steak) and they had a $5 bottle but for the $4 more the other bottle cost me, I got like twice the amount of the $5.

OptomisticGirl Posted September 2, 2012 Author Share Posted September 2, 2012 I talked to one of our ultrasound techs last night while I was at work. I had previously talked to the other one (an older guy) but he was very much 'unless you have straight A's don't expect to get in and if you miss it the first time you might as wel look for something else' attitude. The one I talked to last night was a young woman (late 20's to early 30's) and she was super helpful and nice. She told me like anything you won't get a job right out of the ball park (it took her 6 months to find something PRN) but that eventually lead to something full time and a lot of ultrasound techs in the beginning work a lot of PRN. She told me to make sure my maths and sciences had the best grades possible and I apparently made a face (they are my worst, go figure, lol) and she was so sweet. She told me if you don't get on the first try it doesn't mean failure, she didn't get in the first time she applied and she just did more volunteer work and took extra math courses and got in on the second try. Made me feel a lot better about it to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted September 2, 2012 Author Share Posted September 2, 2012 So I bought Classic Balsamic Vinaigrette made wih extra vrgin olive oil. Thought it would be healthier than fat free ranch - nope. Compare them and fat free ranch is healthier! Although I do love the smell of the Vinaigrette and it doesn't taste that bad...

annie24 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 I'd say that the Fat free has less calories but is not necessarily healthier.., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
