I had a lot of little stuff to do today. It seems as though that for every 1 item I cross of my “to do” list, 2 more appear. I’ve been using Google’s task list (part of the email screen) and I like it’s simplicity. It’s integrated into Google calendar as well as some other apps. I can pop the list out into a separate screen if I so desire.
As is typical, Friday’s are my weekly grocery shopping day. A trip to Trader Joe’s and then to Walmart. Bloom had Jim’s peanut butter, Better’n Peanut Butter, advertized at $4.49 but Trader Joe’s had it for $3.99. Personally, I don’t care for it much (tastes “creepy”). Jim likes it so I bought 3 jars.
Walmart has been trying to step up their style. I was surprised to find this line of “Better Homes and Gardens” bath coordinates and even premixed paint to match.
Above/below: All in one area, bath mats, paint, Better Homes and Gardens books, decals, rugs, etc. A full line of coordinates.
In preparation for my start on Atkins last week, I made meatballs. Mild sausage, ground beef, sautéed onion and garlic, eggs, salt/pepper and parmesan cheese. I sampled. It was yummy.
 Last year we opted to go into Tijuana, Mexico despite warnings given by our new found friends. What an “interesting” day trip that was. Later, back in San Diego, dinner at Urban Mo’s. |
Jim and I skipped the gym tonight. That’s twice this week. Once when we had dinner with Deanna and then tonight. Naturally we should make it up by going this weekend. I doubt that will happen. Oh, how I wish I enjoyed the gym.
Why don't you create your own home gym? That's what I did. It's not huge but I have space to work out, do my FIRM DVDs, resistance/weight training, and power walk on the treadmill. What else do you need?
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, a vanity for braiding underarm hair.
I totally remember your day in history!
ReplyDeleteI'm eager to follow your Atkins journey...
Uh and that peanut butter looks creepy.
Hearing about you guys going to the gym 5 times a week, is making me exhausted, just thinking about it. Wish I had that kind of energy!

@Liz: Thanks, I'm actually eager to start it but we're having dinner with friends this weekend and didn't want to be the annoying dieter.
ReplyDelete@Alix: I suggested the home gym to Jim and he vetoed it. He said, WAIT FOR IT, if we have it at home, we won't work out. One problem would be doing some stuff together (like cardio) I suppose.
@Ken: 5 times a week? That's the goal. Maybe energy for 3.
exercise schmexercise. Poo hiss. I need to do some of that. But I ain't eatin' yer creepy ass imposter peanut butter. Noewwww.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea that you braided your underarm hair. grosssnesssssss, Garry Parry!
I would never eat fake peanuts butter that tasted creepy!
ReplyDelete@Chef: Alix braids her underarm hair.
ReplyDelete@Jason: It's not fake peanut butter it's just that they claim to have processed it differently to extract the fat.
No Garret. You have me confused with someone else. I braid the pubes.
ReplyDeleteTMI,Alix. TMI.
ReplyDeleteI bought a gym membership last year. that's all I did. I bought a gym membership. I also have a Total Gym in my bedroom that my cat naps on.
