Meet Lola!

So if you live near me (meaning within a couple of blocks), you might have seen me out and about lately. I am not talking about me running or walking....but riding my new bike. Ladies and gentlemen....Introducing....LOLA!!!(If you didn't figure it out Lola is what I named my bike).
I came home from my parents house with an old, used bike and my father-in-law saw it and said that it was not acceptable. So he took me to a bike shop where I found her and fell in love. I love my new bike and I ride it around everywhere. And if you look close enough you can see that I even have a matching pink bell. And yes, I do ring the bell when I'm riding it. Don't you love Lola too?!!

Why does a package of meat cost $140?!!!?

So Daniel and I have a friend in town today, and like the good hostess that I want to be, I invited him over for a home cooked meal. So I started rooting through my fridge and pantry....it doesn't take very long because we really don't have a lot of food right now (I'm trying to stretch our budget). I then give Daniel a list of things that we could make (and when I say "we", I really mean I) and he says Fajitas sounds good. So I pull out the meat and start thawing it, and it's not the beef flank I need, it's tri-tip. So I tell Daniel and we agree that we should just go to Costco and get more meat.
We arrive at Costco and start walking in, then Daniel says,"Oh! we didn't grab a cart". Mistake #1. So we head back to the meat section and find what we need. I throw it in the cart and start walking away. Then, right in front of me, is a beautiful apple pie!! I point it out to Daniel and say "Wow! that looks good. Let's get it.....wait, no, we can't get it. Oh, but it looks so good!!" So we grab it and put it in the cart. And Daniel says, "Why not. If we run out of money before either of us gets a job....we'll just move in with my parents." This sounded reasonable to me and the pie looked soooo good.
From there it was a free for all....so to speak. We found a few other things that we thought we "needed" in bulk. Then went to check out. $140+ later we got our meat and pie and a few other things. CURSE YOU COSTCO!!!!

My own Blog

Ok. So I've decided that I have a whole lot of time right now and I am going to be doing the Blogging from now on. Since Daniel liked his, his layout and being able to have it to rant about the suns when basketball season is on....I decided that I would make my own. I'm really not very good at this right now, so be patient with me while I learn. I will try and update this as often as I can and make it interesting with pictures, but since I don't have any cute kids yet...it might not be as cute as some of my friends blogs. Love to all...and...wish me luck!!
