I've got a beef....

I've got a beef....

Before fb decided to "adopt" this van (that is bleeding us dry) he put in for a side of beef.... Fom the start this co-worker of his wanted to split it... so we were splitting a side of beef (that honestly we can't afford tight now, but don't tel that to the fatman) anyway this co-worker decided she didn't really want her full share so she makes arrangements with 2 other co-workers to split her half of the half (one of whom is a little wishy-washy so it might end up 2-way split on that side) Everyone stands in agreement...

So how we have a half of beef split in half with one half of that split three ways... Talk about a meat cutters nightmare.... so we get the whole cutting order together (with the other two making their concessions to the original splitter to ease things up a little.) EVERYONE confirms that they want "in" and we place the cutting order TUESDAY EVENING...

Fast forward to Wednesday morning...

The original splitter claims to have found beef at half this price (but can she CHEW IT???...remember my rubber chickens? LOL if this is even true) Needless to say she is OUT. Splitter #2 agrees to step up to half of the half and splitter #3 is now wishy-washy once again. The beef will be ready to to Saturday and of we get stuck for wishy-washy's share there will be NO additional grocery money this week.

Considering I only spent $25 on groceries last week this is a freaking bad joke.... I already have given up entire food groups to get fb through this week with lunches and next week my lunch challenge will be making fb's sandwiches minus the bread, lunch-meat and cheese... This is especially bad as there is no more fruit or chips either. I wonder how an ALL-BEEF lunch will sit with him....LOL

The cats need Wiskas I do have a stash for that but somehow I am going to have to get to Wally-World w/o fb knowing it and I really don't want to risk a muffler ticket (because of course he hasn't crawled under the old van yet) to quiet that.... If I buy the Wiskas locally we get majorly ripped off.... My money didn't come until the 9th last month and if we factor in the holiday and the way this month falls I don't expect to see it before the 12th this month... so there is no putting off the Wiskas...LOL without Wiskas the cats have no incentive to come in for the night...LOL LOL LOL
