Bright lights

I'm feeling a bit sluggish this morning as I am recovering from a migraine that blindsided me yesterday. Matt and I decided to take Lucas to Sam's yesterday to buy some papertowels and storage containers. We had been cleaning out our closets and realized that we were in desperate need of extra storage. We also love to buy paper products in bulk, so going to Sam's was a no-brainer. Well, bad idea. About 5 minutes into our outing, I asked Matt if he too was seeing spots. After seeing the perplexed look on his face, I explained that the spots reminded me of the kind you see after someone takes a picture with a bright flash. Only there were no cameras around. We moved onto the next aisle comparing the prices of daipers, when my periphial vision went completely blurry. Oh boy.

We decided to hurry along, because while I was in no pain, I knew something was up. Naturally there were only two check-out lines available, and they were filled with every person in the store (not really, but it sure seemed like it), when I realized that I needed to sit down. The shopping cart was abandoned as we slowly walked out to the car. A part of me wanted to panic because all I could think of was, "I'm going blind!" Once I got home and lied down, the headache set in. I ate some dinner, but my right arm and the right side of my face were totally numb. This time I asked, "Am I having a stroke?" I tend to be a bit dramatic when sick.

My body seems to have restored itself back to normal this morning, all expect for a lingering headache. How do people who suffer from regular migraines survive? My compassion goes out to you who do.

It's a good thing my membership to Sam's expires this month, because I'm feeling a bit gunshy about going back there. Must be something about all those florescent lights.....

Baby steps

Guess what? I'm taking steps today to get just a little closer to my dream. We're off to the gym in a little bit to keep working towards losing those 38 pounds. I'm also working on a plan to sell specialty homemade cheesecakes during the holidays. Doing something I love and making some extra money for the people I love. Pretty great stuff!

Special K

I have developed a rather fond relationship with Kellogg's Special K Vanilla Almond. Low in fat (only 1.5 g) and made with whole grains, I eat this tasty treat as a meal and a snack. I'm eating some right now. Special thanks to Kat for introducing me to this delightful cereal. Our local Ingles has been running it on sale this past week, 2 for $4, so I stocked up. The milk is even on sale too, 2 for $5, making this treat yummy and affordable. Sweet, crispy flakes and crunchy almonds. What more could a girl ask for. By the way, you should go to Ingles. Everything is on sale. I picked up some lean ground beef today for $1.38 per pound. Now that's good for the budget. Low prices + good food = happy housewife

Let's go shopping at Aldi's!

If you're shopping at Aldi's this week, I recommend that you stock up on Eggs and Milk! Seriously, a dozen eggs for $1.09 and Milk for $2.19! The price of beef may have gone up, but I'm loving the other staples we get from a cow! I bought 4 dozen eggs this week. Overkill for sure, but when our family eats eggs, we usually eat 7 in one setting! Eggs and toast are a staple breakfast in our house - we eat that at least 4 times a week! It's fast and filling and cheap! If you're looking for something more exciting to do with your eggs, try making a breakfast casserole! I love this casserole from Ree, the Pioneer Woman. Everything she makes is delightful, but this recipe is especially great! As with most recipes, I tweaked it a bit to fit our tastes. For all of his perfect aspects, my handsome husband does not eat mushrooms. This could have been a deal breaker for me 13 years ago, but then I saw his drummer toned legs and I decided to look past his misjudgment! No ...
