That happens to me when I’m distracted. 😁<br /><br />Your meals sound delicious. Cooking from scratch does take some planning, doesn’t it? But it saves a lot of money, and I believe it’s much better for our body.

Whole sections are roped off at the library here. They really just want you to order books and pick them up. There is a 45 minute time limit to even be in there. <br /><br />You’re doing a great job at keeping safe with COVID. I’m so grateful for people like you who are doing that. Hopefully doing these things will help us get to the end of this pandemic sooner. <br /><br />Good job on stocking up your pantry. That is wonderful. <br /><br />Belindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17486895127003368291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225169024525576477.post-58351749011460739522021-09-04T13:32:19.541-04:002021-09-04T13:32:19.541-04:00I am happy that Ida didn't hit you hard.
I m...I am happy that Ida didn't hit you hard. <br /><br />I made my own body wash before. It was so much fun but I admit my hands didn't like the grating. My poor DH had to help me. <br /><br />I get my body wash at Dollar Tree. Their generic version of the Oil of Olay is better than the name brand. This Summer I scored Soft Soap body wash. They have several different scents.<br /><br />I finally went into the library. I have been doing drive up or our kiosk. I haven't been into a library since October 2019. It was so amazing to go and visit the books. <br /><br />Now, I have a whole pile of things to read, watch and listen too. That is going to save a lot of money. Everyone keeps asking me what I miss the most during all of this Covid nightmare. I keep saying the library, lol. Not a lot of people in the library. I think there was about a half of dozen, excluding staff. Most of us were masked and staying away from each other. It was really safe. <br />I had my bottle of hand sanitizer in my hand. When I finished a section I would sanitize my hands. <br /><br />I keep a handwashing station in the truck when we go out. DH & I wash our hands every place we go. You know I am in Springfield MO home of the Delta variant so I am overly cautious even though DH & I are fully vaccinated. <br /><br />I am doing the Autumn stock up of things needed for my pantries. I like to stock up a month before the new season and rotate my pantries.

He had a free box of Cheerios that I did not have and I had a free pack of string cheese that he did not have.

Typically I'm up for that challenge, but there are weeks that I opt for easier options, because the planning/time/prep just can't happen. It's best to set yourself up for success, and planning can at least help you identify what type of week you'll be having.

Went downstairs to the basement family room, and the local news had the weather radar of a rotation over our street/house. I had dh take a pic of the tv screen. Thankfully it didn't touch down, but there were 2 confirmed tornadoes in the area. Scary night.<br />Sounds like you had some great savings! I'll check out the body wash video. <br />We loved the sticky pineapple chicken recipe.<br />Do hope that your vision will soon be better after surgery, so you can enjoy movie night and everything. <br /><br /> Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11093313893708262722noreply@blogger.com
