Plugging Along

April 7th, 2009 at 01:33 am

Lots of things to update:

-Its finally warm enough to turn the heat off 100%. Its about 65 degrees at night inside right now. YAY!

-My plants are doing well. Lots of little guys growing now. Soon, I'll have to replant them into bigger containers. I'm just not sure when I'm supposed to do that. So I'll be doing some research! I'd take a picture, but the camera broke the night of the party.

-The lens just stopped retracting. So now I'm paying $6.00 to have the item shipped to the company I bought it from. Luckily its still under warrenty. AND that I was able to still upload the party pics.

-I sent in my contacts rebate today. In the past, the rebate has been much bigger. This time, its only $20.00.

-I bought groceries today & already planned my food for tomorrow. Cheerios, milk & strawberries for breakfast. Pasta salad and carrots for lunch. Dinner will be chicken and potatoes.

-Its been such a busy few weeks that I decided to make tonight a veg night. Used a code to get free Redbox movies. A good little horror movie and Seven Pounds, which was VERY good!

-My sister put a contract on a house! I'm on a pretty tight budget right now, so I'll be looking to do some frugal gifts. Time to hit the dollar store for kitchen items and I plan to donate time to helping them set up the house. Any additional suggestions are welcome!

    What about giving them a plant? Either for inside or something they can plant in their garden and enjoy for a very long time?

    My camera wouldn't retract for a while either, and I looked up some stuff on the internet on how to fix it. The consensus was to whack it really good with your hand (making sure not to drop it) and it would jar whatever dirt was in there out of the way. Worked for my camera!

    Big Grin

    other ideas i can give you are:
    some nice smelly candles/incense etc in a little gift basket type thing - if they're into that.
    a nice bottle of wine
