Sunday Evening Post #3
This weekend, the husband was out of town working a convention with a friend of ours. However, in his place, I had my cousin (who has been with us for the whole summer), her best friend, and one of her friends from college.
I could make the kids pay for themselves, but that goes against my nature. I remember being in college and the niceness of home cooked meals. So, I took responsibility for feeding all three of them.
As of Sunday by lunch, I was down to 2, and I’ll have them both for the next week and a half.

The heating pad was because when we left the dogs on Saturday, I had apparently left our heating pad out where they could get it and they chewed up the cord. Considering the husband is going to be on planes for 8 hours on Monday, I figured he would want a heating pad for his back when he gets home Monday night.
That was nice of you to think of your husband with the heating pad!
Plane rides are terrible for a back! He'll be so glad you replaced that pad. Looks like you did a pretty good job of keeping your meals frugal and still tasty and healthy!
Hey, welcome to the Yakezie challenge. I hope you find it to be rewarding. May I offer some thoughts? I found your background difficult with your text… it may be as simple as changing the text colour. Otherwise, I look forward to reading you're stuff as part of the Summer Team #4.
Doctor Stock: Are you talking about the text in the actual posts? Or the intro text at the top of the page?I'm more than happy to make a change to make it easier to read, I just want to make sure I'm changing the right thing.
Your'e making me hungry! What board games did you play?
Marie- I believe the games played were Shadows of Camelot and Chaos in the Old World. Don't worry if you haven't heard of them, we're gamer geeks.As for food, wait until I post sometime about the yummy dinners the husband makes. Though I think I will avoid listing the cost of curry powder…
