My super sweet friend and her husband welcomed a new baby girl! I am so excited to meet her. I have seen some pictures and she is beautiful & I believe already 1 week old today.

The last 2 times I went to donate I was unable to do so because I am anemic and my iron levels were too low. I knew donation time was around the corner and I have been eating lots of good foods high in iron and other vitamins. 
I was also glad my Life Coach donated with me today and I think that it is great our company holds these Blood Drives.
WEEKEND UPDATE!
WHAT A WONDERFUL WEEKEND SANS MY KIDS. (NOT THAT I DIDN’T MISS THEM LIKE CRAZY).
FRIDAY I WENT WITH THE LADIES TO GO SEE NEW MOON. MY THOUGHTS: IT WAS BETTER (SPECIAL EFFECTS WISE THAN TWILIGHT) ACTING WAS OKAY, STORY WAS COOL. NEW MOON WAS MY LEAST FAVORTIE BOOK OUT OF THE SERIES SO IT WAS HARD TO SAY. I THOUGHT THEY DID A GOOD JOB BRINGING THAT BOOK TO LIFE. AFTERWARDS I MET UP WITH A FEW FRIENDS FOR A LOVELY HAPPY HOUR. WE STARTED OUT AT RA SUSHI, WE VENTURED ON OVER TO MONNALISA AND ENDED THE EVENING AT YARD HOUSE. I LOVE TOWN AND COUNTRY EATERIES AND LOUNGES.
SATURDAY I DID MY “STEP OUT-WALK TO FIGHT DIABETES” DOWNTOWN. IT WAS RAINY AND COLD BUT GINA AND I MADE THE BEST OF IT. WE ACTUALLY HAD A LOT OF FUN. THEN WE WENT TO HAVE BREAKFAST AT IHOP. I WENT HOME AND RELAXED FOR A LITTLE BIT. LATER THAT NIGHT I WENT TO DANIELLE’S JEWELRY PARTY (HOSTED BY STEPHANIE). THAT WAS A LOT OF FUN AND I CAN’T WAIT TO GET MY PIECES IN.
SUNDAY WAS A DAY OF CLEANING AND RELAXING. COUNTING DOWN THE HOURS TIL DARREN AND LAUREN RETURNED. A LONG BUT NICE QUIET DAY.
OH..AND THE REALLY COOL PICTURE BELOW IS A PAINTING MY FRIEND DEVON DID FOR ME. I REALLY LIKE IT. I WANT IT! ALSO HE SAID IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE FOR HIM TO DO A PAINTING FOR YOU HE WOULD BE HAPPY TO DO IT. YOU CAN EMAIL ME IF YOU ARE INTERESTED AND I CAN GIVE YOU HIS INFORMATION.

We just love her so much and we are really enjoying having her with us.I later heard her gently scratching on the door so I took her out and she went potty. WOW! I think we still have a little bit of work to do with her as far as dog/house training but for her being a puppy in a new home, she has been wonderful.
Just an update on my Spending during the week. Go figure I had 2 cheat days. I guess it takes some getting use to. Not spending any money during the workday. I will take 2 out of 7 days as a small little victory.
On the bright side, I have made dinner the past 12 meals. Including Breakfast/Lunch and Dinner for the past weekend. (except Friday nigh, I picked up McD's). Only because it took FOREVER to get my nails done.
I still feel good about my cutbacks and tonight is a trip to the grocery store to stock up on my weekly meals.
Total saved: $80+/- in just workday spending alone. Good job Me.
Now to figure out when I will start planning my Christmas shopping.
THERE IS NOTHING WORSE THAN LOOKING AT YOUR BANK ACCOUNT AND REALIZING THAT WHEN YOU RETURNED YOUR $1/DAY REDBOX RENTALS (ONE FOR $1.07 AND THE OTHER FOR $6.40) THAT YOU WERE CHARGED AN OVERDRAFT FEE OF $35 A POP, BECAUSE ANOTHER BILL THAT COMES OUT AUTOMATICALLY (WHEN EVER THEY FEEL LIKE IT FOR) FOR $40 BOUNCES. LAST MONTH THIS AUTO PAY CAME OUT ON THE 22ND OF THE MONTH SO WHY HAVE THEY CHOSEN TO DEDUCT FROM MY ACCOUNT ON THE 4TH???

Lemon Drop Martini's!Today is Day 2 of my Wallet Busters Challenge: To not spend ANY money during my WORKDAY. Meaning, yep I am packing my breakfast, lunch and a couple snacks instead of going to the coffee bar and stopping by the taco shop! No going to the burger joint or the pizza parlor to grab a quick (unhealthy) lunch.
My problem is this: It is only day 2 and I am eating my oatmeal out of a cup from our company kitchen. Trying to enjoy each bite. Realizing that I suck at making instant oatmeal. I mean really, who messes that up? I either put too much water and it is a runny mess or not enough water and it is too clumpy. Is it hot enough, if it is not hot enough it will not thicken as it should and suddenly my mouth starts to salivate for that fresh hot breakfast taco from the deli downstairs or across the street. WHAT? Yes, I am itching to just go buy a taco and give up on my oatmeal. It sort of reminds me of an addiction. I am addicted to buying food. Ha ha.
In all seriousness, my favorite part of any day is breakfast. I could care less what I eat for lunch or dinner. Some nights I make dinner for the kids and I just eat a bowl of cereal.
I love breakfast and oatmeal just isn't cutting it. I may have to come up with a new game plan. Perhaps I can make my own breakfast taco and pack that or maybe add something to my oatmeal to make it more fulfilling. This is going to require some game planning. I am very happy to say that I am staying strong and sticking to my guns. I guess I will update you all on my progress next Tuesday.
Spent on food during the workday: $0.00. Now that feels good.
PS-I am still hungry. If anyone has any good "bring from home" easy and good breakfast ideas, let me know although I have never been a cereal bar person or a pop tarts fan. I like substance for my first meal of the day.
I loved his hair!

I can't say it enough. You are truly an amazing friend and person. I still swear we were separated at birth or at least by birth mother! Sometimes when we talk about things...I can't believe how much we think alike.
