Rave: Phil has predicted an early Spring! Now looking at the temps across most of the country today it looks nothing like Spring, but I am all for positive thinking! Go Phil!
Rant: I am cold. REALLY cold. Now I know all you northern folks are probably laughing at me by now, after all, I do at least have 2 digits on the thermometer. However, those two digits are below freezing and I am a Southern Gal. As a matter of fact, as of right now, I don't see above freezing (even in the daily highs) until the weekend. In a house built to stay cool in 3 digit Summer temps, that is NOT GOOD. Stone floors and high ceilings combined with record low temps makes for a record high power bill. I can feel my wallet shrinking now.
Rave: A couple of weeks ago I started "meal planning" again. I don't assign a meal to each day, I simply make a list of available meals and put it on the freezer, marking them off as we use them. A few of those meals I made large, and froze half. So last night, all I had to do was defrost and reheat, and we enjoyed some fabulous homemade chili. It was perfect for supper on a cold Winter's night! The planning has cut down on my grocery costs as well.
Rant: I have to go to the grocery today. The high temp for today is supposed to be around 20.
Okay, so that was not a fabulously interesting list of Rants and Raves, sorry. I have a lot to do today so I need to get moving. Thanks for popping by!
