Compact Day 1
Well, I successfully survived day 1 of officially being on the compact… of course the fact that it’s between paydays & I have a grand total of $21 to my name probably helped with that!
Not going anywhere that has a retail outlet probably helped too… that could be a good answer to the issue of buying new things! Resist the temptation to purchase by avoiding the outlets.
By Jove! It could work!

Oh, and in case you were wondering, we did have salad for dinner… fresh, organic lettuce from Garden Treasures, crasins, black currants, homemade croûtons, fresh mozzarella and crumbled goat cheese. Yum!
In my defense, the goat cheese came from Costco in a package 3x the size as the grocer, for $2 less! And I bought it a few weeks ago.
And yes, the girls are devouring the rest of the butterfly biscuits for dessert… At least E for to try a bite before they were gone!

In other news, Mr. Wonderful himself is attempting to install an iPod player into the Suby… a VERY cool gadget we picked up for the trip to the big D… alas it did not arrive until after we left. c’est la vie.
The down side here is that the cd player does’t seem to want to work… because the former owner apparently JAMMED a couple of cd’s inside the changer! He is working furtively to remove the offending disks (and yes, they really are… paul mccartney anyone?) without destroying the stereo. Please send prayers and good cd removing thoughts our way! Apparently one of them is bent inside & therefore wedged… ugh.
So, assuming he gets THAT fixed, we will be spending the weekend filling up the super large trash bin so that we can get rid of it & get back to the tiny one we are used to (hear that girls? Your rooms are going in the bin!), and hopefully getting the base level of the retaining wall put down so that the rest of the blocks can go on in rapid fashion next weekend… or sometime after that.
No rest for the weary, eh?
Anywho, I’m off to do the dishes… again. how can 2 girls make such a pile in the sink so many times each day? It is beyond my comprehension. Any tips?
