Financing a Trip to Forks....

So my friends and I are planning a trip to Seattle and Forks for the summer and I realized that I need to cut my expenses to finance it.  That means no more buying the things I love like this:

or these:

and I might need to cut down on this  

and this

If you have any other suggestions on how to cut expenses and finance our pilgrimage to Forks let me know.  

Forgotten in my Hungover state

Yes I just realized that I forgot to post yesterday. I have a good excuse though, the girls and I got together at my house and had a "game night", it is in quotes because we didn't play Taboo very long and it ended up being a game of "Have you ever", which I not going to say the answers too for the privacy of my friends but 4 bottles of wine several beers, a Vodka shot that ended up coming out of my nose and a broken entertainment center we all learned a little bit more about each other.  Just remember my friends I love you all and your secrets are all safe with me.

Yeah the broken entertainment center resulted from me falling off a rolling chair and it consequently rolling into  it.


Weekly Meal Plan:

Sunday: Beef Fajitas
Monday: Italian London Broil

Wednesday: Swedish Meatballs
Thursday: Spanish Rice Bake
Friday: Slow Cooker Beef Stew

Lets see if I can stick to the meal plan this week.

Meal Planning...again

So I am going to try to start meal planning again as part of my reorganization of my life.  I need to eat healthier and to do that my family and I need to eat more homemade meals.  I am really going to just plan the main course this time, trying to make it easier on me. So here is this week's main courses.

Slow Cooker Asian Sweet Chili Pork

Grilled Chicken Cesaer Salad

London Broil w/sauteed mushroom and onions

Chicken enchiladas

Hamburger Steak

Chicken and Beef Fajitas

Of course my meal planners are not complete without beer and wine because you know I need it.

Yes, my beer fridge and my wine rack are now fully stocked again since I spent two freakin' hours at the grocery store and $289.  Ugh, I guess If I didn't buy the beer and the wine or the cosmo with Kellan Lutz and Paul Wesley in it my bill would have been cheaper.

All I can say is yum, it was worth the $3.99

A Rave Tonight ...Middle Sister Wines

I imbibed much tonight because I was in a bad way this afternoon and discovered I great new wine with a quirky sense of humor. Middle Sister Wines. I bought the Forever Cool Merlot and The Smarty Pants Chardonnay. The Merlot was delicious, I haven't tried the Chardonnay yet because I don't mix wines very well.I had 3 glasses of the Merlot and put some in my pasta creation tonight and it made it very yummy and I have to say I feel really great right now.  I found the wines at Target and they were around $10 a bottle, which I think is a great bargain.  Go buy some today.  Here is the link.  Middle Sister Wines.  Check them out.
