It was sooooo nice to come home last night, open the door, and have the scent of dinner waft over me. I should use the crockpot more often.
Frugal things I've done lately:
- made Bisquick garlic cheese biscuits to go with the crockpot black bean soup instead of stopping at the grocery store for garlic bread
- directed the car HOME last night instead of going to any store
- baked cookies
- got a ride with SO this morning
- am resisting the urge to buy a hot chocolate, even though I am freezing at my desk, and can't have food products in my desk anymore because of critters in the office
Tonight I'm going to try to eat dinner at home before going to a concert with SO, instead of eating out.
This weekend I am going to try to eat all meals at home, even if friends stop by (I'll cook for them).
On my birthday on Monday, I'm planning to go to the art institute instead of shopping. We'll see how that works out. SO is taking the day off, too, so that will be fun!!
Need to keep plugging away at the jewelry-making, so I get better at it. It's easy to get frustrated.
Also need to practice being calm with the cats, even if they eat my bagel with cream cheese off the counter and lick crumbs off of the cookie sheet. They are just being cats (dog-like cats, really).

You should try one of those latte mixes instead of hot chocolate. They come in a canister that you can keep sealed (and hidden in the desk).
