SO WHAT! Wednesday!

This week I'm saying SO WHAT! If:

• We bought Chloe Monsters University for Christmas, but instead of waiting, we just had to give it to her, only because we couldn't stand to watch Monster's Inc ONE MORE TIME!
• I bought myself a pair of boots from Kohls.com 2 days after I went to the store and purchased another pair of boots....hey! I had $30 Kohls cash, and I got the 2nd pair for $8!! AND Free shipping!!
• I don't own an Ugly Christmas Sweater....but I'm considering buying one because we're having an Ugly Christmas Sweater contest at work next Wednesday.
• The Christmas lights on our second floor probably won't make it up this year....oh well...at least the rest are done and the tree is up.
• I seriously want to make EVERY SINGLE thing on the Emeals Low Fat plan this week....EVERYTHING! And you could too...if you signed up! Still 30% off right now!!
• I forgot to move Peach the Elf last night...so I had to wait until Chloe and Hubs left this morning to move her....she will get a nice surprise when she gets home :-)
• I'm planning to put half of the bonus (that I MIGHT get) toward paying off my credit card...how sad is that? Ugh...wish I could take it ALL to Florida, but no....I have to be a grown up and pay bills first...lol!
• I'm pretty certain that Hubs wants an Xbox for Christmas....but I refuse to spend the money....so I'm pretty sure he's going to buy it for himself...UGH!
• I asked for a Dutch Oven, a food processor, and a Shark Steam Mop for Christmas from Andy's Dad...yea, boring  house stuff...
• We're getting a Dishwasher from Andy's Mom for Christmas....call me crazy, but I AM pretty excited about that! Ours is a piece!!

SO WHAT! Wednesday!

This week I'm saying SO WHAT! If:

• Andy took himself to the ER for the second time in about 2 months last night.....yea
• I'd rather it be busy at work today then slow just so the day goes by fast...but that's not going to happen.
• I'm undecided on which outfit Chloe will wear to which Thanksgiving dinner....she has 2 options, and I can't make my mind up.
• Instead of trying to be good and lose a lb or 2 before the holiday, I've been being bad....really really bad....
• I know I've said it before....quite a few times, but I'm loving Emeals!!!
• I strategically picked my outfits for this week so that I could wear leggings and comfy cami with a flowy cardigan for Thanksgiving.
• I'm considering maybe taking Chloe to see Santa this weekend so she can wear her Christmas dress from last year, one last time. Since we'll be in FL for Christmas, she won't be wearing a long sleeve, floor length dress.... :-(
• I just painted my nails 2 days ago, but considering painting them again today so they are fresh for the festivities tomorrow...they are already chipped....

I think that's about all I'm going to say SO WHAT to this week! I hope everyone has an amazing Holiday! We shall see you next week :-) Head on over to Shannon's page and tell us what YOU are saying SO WHAT! to this week.

SO WHAT! Wednesday!

 

This week I'm saying SO WHAT! If:

• We got Chloe's hair cut over a week ago, and I'm impatiently waiting for the growth spurt to start.
• My hair grows way too fast, and it REALLY annoys me that I have to get it cut/highlighted every 5 weeks.
• I'm not looking forward to driving to FL in a MONTH from now...I just want to poof myself there....
• I could not wait to watch the Originals....then I recorded 5 episodes and watched them all this weekend, and now I'm addicted and I can't wait for the next episode!
• I bought myself a pink North Face Oso Hoodie for Christmas....from Amazon, 2nd day shipping because I'm that impatient....and Yes, I will be wearing it as soon as I get it. I cannot wait until Christmas.
• I'm tempted to start packing Chloe's Florida bags....I mean, why not, right? She won't be wearing any of her spring/summer stuff in Michigan right now, right?
• I'm constantly looking for tutu's and new leotards for Chloe for dance class....aaahhhh, it's an obsession now!
• Chloe needs....YES, NEEDS a cute little Ballet bag. Any suggestions on where to find one, and not TOO overly expensive?
• I've been obsessed with Emeals....literally, cannot wait to get my email every Wednesday! You could be too!!!! And right now, they are offering 30% off!!! Don't wait, Go sign up NOW!

Lately

I've been a tad obsessed with meal planning. I've been known to complain that I wasn't doing the best job with this whole house wife thing....ya know...when it comes to the whole cooking stuff. Well, I signed up for Emeals and I honestly think I'll never go back....it's amazing. I chose the Clean Eating meal plans, and well, as you might imagine, it's a bit more expensive buying healthy, not processed, clean eating items. But it's SOOOO worth it. And the fact that I get the plans emailed to me, with grocery list and all, well...it doesn't get much easier than that now, does it?!

Zulily....simply because of their amazing customer service. I had placed an order for a pair of boots a few weeks back. I know ordering footwear online is tough because all shoes are different, but I did it anyways....and when I got them, they were TOO big. Like, WAY too big. I was bummed. So I immediately emailed customer service, and they got back to me almost immediately. They said there was no need to return the item...they would put an in store credit for the item on my account. Perfect!!!! I'll take it! I posted a picture of the boots on my FB and Bam! A friend from work wanted them. So I sold them. Can't go wrong with that! And now I have $29.99 to spend on something else from Zulily!!

May Designs Planner....I'm in love! Can I just say, that I seriously cannot wait for January 1st so I can start using it full time. I'm such a dork, and I cannot live without a planner. Even though I use my phone too...it's weird, but I have to have things written down too. It's piece of mind having it in 2 different places.

So those are just a few of the things that I'm currently obsessing over. What are you loving??

Meal Planning 101

Don't think going into this post that it's going to be all this information about meal planning...because it's not! I'm horrible at it, and I need some major help. I used to be awesome, used to make my list, grocery shop like a champ with the best of them, make dinner at least 2-3 times a week....yep! Best Wife Award over here! Now?? Nope. But I have my reasons....
Reason 1, and probably the only reason....we had our Couples Boudoir Photo Shoot October 6th. So we vowed to only eat Salads and chicken for the 2 months prior to that so we could watch our weight and be nice and lean and not all bloated for the pictures. That plan worked out great! Grocery shopping was super easy and cheap too! I just bought a huge thing of spinach for myself, and made salads for lunch. And we had chicken Caesar salads for dinner. But now that all that's done....I feel like I need to get back into the swing of things. Making dinner's and such. Having family dinner time....making stuff that Chloe will enjoy. Ya know, the normal....Mom/Wife thing. So my attempt at this, is becoming a member of the Elite Emeals mailing list. I'm going to give it a try and see how it goes.
I got my first meal plan Tuesday night, so I'm looking forward to going grocery shopping this weekend. We shall see how it goes, and I will be posting the recipes that I love.
Stay Tuned...
