Happiness is...

...a freezer full of beef.
I had a rough morning. Austin was into being "naughty" and disobeying. James was just his usual crazy monkey. And I really needed to get some errands done. So we finally got out of the house. Dropped of movie rentals. Went to the grocery store. I was less than happy there because grocery prices keep going up. :( Then toward the end of the trip, Austin starts throwing a fit (the first one he has ever done in the grocery store). So I was dragging him around, kicking and crying, while i finished up my shopping. (Luckily he was done after about 2-3 minutes--but it seemed like a long time) Then I had to go to the butcher to pick up our 1/2 beef. Got it loaded up, etc. Then filled the freezer when we got home. Ahhh. I am weird, but it just made me happy to see all the ground beef, steaks, roasts, etc. I am a simple woman----food makes me happy. (mostly when I have a large stockpile of it-hey, what can I say, I'm kind of a hoarder) Oh, I also got a ton of cereal last week for $1 a box or less and that made me really happy too.

  1. Simple pleasures. There is something satisfied about being stocked up. I love opening the pantry and seeing it full of food! Probably because it makes figuring out whats for dinner easier1

  2. Did you get your cereal at Albertson's too? The first day I went they only had Cheerios left (I still wasn't complaining at $1 a box). But I went back the next day and they had a much bigger variety. I too get pleasure out of seeing my stockpile of cereal. :)

  3. Yeah, i got it at Albertson's. They only had cheerios, Kixs, Reeses when I was there but I got a rain check for 20 more boxes so i will just wait until they stock back up again. Plus I'm collecting GM coupons to use with it too.

  4. I'm sad we're not there to be invited to dinner for roast or dare I say....steak. I'm jealous. And I could really use some of that red meat.....my red blood cells are so low.
