Instead of spending this fine Monday delving into the typical novel of a blog post I’m accustomed to and everyone has, undoubtedly, come to expect from me, I thought I’d switch things up today with a short, simple post of lists. Your welcome.
5 things I bypassed in the grocery store this morning in an attempt to lower our bill by purchasing only the items we need:
- Crepe wrappers
- Chinese sprouts
- Woodchuck hard cider on sale
- A gourmet cupcake
- Fresh flowers
(You know you’re impressed with my willpower for not snatching up the last 3! I am too.)
5 things I did enjoy buying and will even more enjoy turning into delicious meals:
- Fresh salmon
- Fresh strips of steak for stir-frying
- Fresh lemon
- Fresh dill
- Fresh snap sugar peas
5 favorite television shows of the spring season (as I eagerly await the return of Hell’s Kitchen):
- Modern Family
- Big Bang Theory
- House
- Bleep My Dad Says
- Mike & Molly
(Sorry How I Met Your Mother, American Idol, and The Office fans, I just cant get into that lameness. And we all know my feelings on the obnoxiousness that is Glee.)
5 things I’m loving about today
- Sleeping in this morning beneath our cozy comforter with sunlight streaming through the windows
- A clean, fresh smelling house
- Painting my nails, sipping some wine and indulging in Monday night TV
- The scent of my favorite-smelling candle ever (Volcano Capri Blue hand-poured candle from Anthropologie)
- A day of quiet. At home, alone with no music or people or any other kind of racket except the swish of the washer and the birds chirping. Aaaaah.
5 productive things I’m doing on my day off
- Laundry – clothing, bedding, and towels. I love how soft and fresh clean laundry smells!
- Cleaning the house – adios dust bunnies!
- Grocery shopping – I reduced this week’s bill by 50%!
- Mending a pair of black pants I’ve been needing to fix for at least six weeks
- Sorting receipts
I hope you find something to enjoy about your Monday too!
