It is ...

beautiful here in Columbia, SC today, and the forecast is even more delectable for the weekend. I just put a PORK BUTT in the el crockeroo and we will be having BBQ sandwiches with slaw and a sweet pickle for Gameday..kickoff 3:30pm..the fighting Gamecocks of the University of SC will tackle the reigning Nat'L Champion Auburn Tigers..GOOOOOOOOOOCOCKS!
My "TIGER"(the husband) has to work this weekend he gets off at 4:00pm, so we will be going to the family home for gameday..where I will have his favorite beverage iced down for him and a big kiss. He probably will go for the beer first! HA! I am going to make White Pizza Dip also, very delish.. I love Saturday and Sunday..family and football..southern style!

"HER" true colors..

don't you just hate when you notice them from a "friend"!! Now, I have seen these colors before and I tried to ignore them and press on..but honey, she put them out there the other day, and I do NOT think I want to be friends with someone, so self serving, selfish and inconsiderate of others. You know what I am talking about..the person who always shows up late because obviously "her" time is more important then yours. God forbid you make "her" wait! This "friend" totally bashed my friend and I was so upset for her..I defended her of course, but to hear this other "friend" go on a tirade made me sick to my stomach..just because she could NOT accommodate her wants!! One word! Lonely...

I think....



my brain is bleeding!! I NEVER and I mean never get headaches..I have had a dull headache on the left side of my head and face for TWO days now!!.. I hope it isn't a result of this nast drink I had Saturday for game day that everyone tried..FOUR LOKE.. didn't they ban that in like 5 states? Why did we over 40's feel the need to experiment? Anyway our vegetarian chili was delish as were our mexican potstickers and Fudge Cake!! The Gamecocks win was great..just hope our offense gets a little stronger..ie Stephen Garcia I am talking about you!

You will never believe this...

after my previous POST you will undestand this one.. No sooner was I freaking out about MONEY..when, my Lord and Savior came through in a BIG way..no WE did NOT win the lottery. I got 3 back to back catering jobs$$!( i have a small catering co. on the side) My loan month is decent based on record low rates, but I always feel we can never enjoy the fruits of our Labor because we always rob Peter to pay Paul..Just as I was thanking GOD for my windfall..he reminded me to be more careful of my spending on unnecessary wants... IE daughter goes to Target with you and picks up $50.00 worth of sweaters(2), $62.50 for dancing daughters 3 day dance weekend(in town) not to mention.. frozen yogurt, Starbucks, movies, chick fil a night.. cut it all out.. We are living like Puritans...

where does...

all the money go?? I feel like we can NEVER have enough!! With 3 girls(dance, soccer, tennis, dance, plays) GROCERIES and just everyday living.. I find myself with nothing left when payday rolls around again.. and we both work!! I just get so frustrated.. number one priority.. meal planning and sticking to a budget..I swear I am PUBLIX number one customer..no wonder they all smile when I walk in! Any suggestions on less spending...
