Sweat stains and steel-toe boots
Sometimes I dream of a job where I didn’t have to wash my hands every 5 minutes. A job that didn’t involve filthy guys who have been working in the Florida sun all day. A job that actually forced me to go out and buy cute pencil skirts and white button up shirts. Then I remember the past 4 years of doing hair…and I’m pretty okay with my job. I arrive at my office in the morning which is quiet and calming (for the most part). I work with 1 female, who is one of my best friends. No drama. No gossip. I know this isn’t what I’m going to do forever, but I must admit I’m pretty content with it right now. The dirt, the smells, the confusing terminology that I will eventually be made to learn but would rather not. I can deal with all that just to have a peaceful work environment. I can come to work with no makeup and baggy v-neck tee’s and nobody even notices. Now if only I could get a raise!
My stress towards grocery shopping will soon be over, and I couldn’t be any more excited! I’ve signed up on E-Mealz.com. It’s a company started by 2 moms who offer you weekly meals that are perfectly planned out, as well as having the grocery list made. I’m told it’ll also help save me money at the grocery store, and I’m all about saving money! I’m not usually one to sign up for things like this, but I DISPISE making menus and coming up with grocery lists. Most weeks we go to the store with no ideas and 3 days later have no meals to make! Anything that can help solve this problem, I’m down for. If anybody else wants to try this out, I have a 20% off coupon code. So, I paid $12.50 for 3 months of planned meals! HOW EXCITING?! Also, they offer different meal and store plans. I signed up for the low-fat, any store meals…and they all look amazing! We’ll see. Back to work!

Ok, so I just checked out the e-mealz website and it is quite possibly the most awesome thing ever. I have the same issue with meal planning and grocery shopping. Hate it!! Hook a sista up with the coupon code!
I know, I’m so excited about this! The coupon code is “DAVE”.
Sweet, thanks! I’m super stoked! Think I’ll go grocery shopping today!
I’ll check it out. I don’t like coming up with a plan either and lately I just get what I need for the only meal in the next week that I know I’m going to make and play creative with the rest of them. Anyone for lettuce and banana sandwiches?
HA! That’s about how I do it. You are way more creative though. One of our weekly meals when we don’t have anything else consists of 2 cans of beans, can corn, can tomatoes, water, and spices all thrown into a pot and heated up. That meal is our staple when we’ve run out of things!
HA, I loved Mary’s comment about the lettuce and banana sandwiches. I bet that’s what my mom did back when I was a kid…and here I always thought cheese and jelly sandwiches were normal (yet kinda gross)…I bet mom just didn’t have any peanut butter.
I never fed you lettuce and banana sandwiches! you would not have eaten the lettuce…I did feed you potato chips in your PB&J to give it crunch. Also we made hamdogs when we were out of hotdogs but had no hamburger buns.
The meal thing sounds great. I’m gonna look at it too!
