So it's another day another dollar.... a.k.a making my nickle "moo"!

So it's another day another dollar.... I have posted our "meat situation" on yahoo and it looks like I am now a meat dealer. We have some positive hits on this meat, so we will have grocery $$ this week after all BUT In the midst of all this fb decides we need to go out for a $40 dinner last night (I am STILL trying to figure out WHAT he is going to give up to afford this van).

I hate going out for dinner when I have already cooked it saves me nothing as I still had kitchen to clean from prep yesterday and I will have a kitchen to clean from dinner tonight WHY DOES HE HOT GET THIS ONE????? Probably because he has not washed a dish in a year and a half....

Anyway before desert (included as OF COURSE we were at a buffet) I did ask him if this was our "anniversary dinner" as it is out first meal out since the 30th and I will say he WAS quite embarrassed as his oversight.... It didn't last long though as we went quick grocery shopping afterwards (remember he needed a half lunch today that I had nothing for) and he was concerned that I was buying the Whiskas until I assured him I was buying them with MY $$.

We then went for a look at a pet shop and he was actually trying to talk me into buying a couple of rats (guilt I tell ya... everything is a rollercoster when your husband is bi-polar) but I didn't have any money after buying the Whiskas and besides I didn't want those rats I want the rats that have yet to come into the store in Simcoe....LOL I even confessed that I had been calling them and checking...

We had previously discussed getting another Hamster.... I was winging it on taking an OK to get a hamster as license to get TWO rats. If I can find a way to swing that cage I saw last night I will have me 2 rats and a hamster soon.

The chocolate brown teddy bear hams they had there were really cute, like drop dead cute, I might even take one of those instead of the black teddy bear I have been wanting. (If I get the ham first I won't end up with the rats so I have to do this right) The cage set up I have now is just big enough for 2 rats... it will drive fb nuts and he will want them to be in something bigger... When we get (or build) something bigger THEN we can get the Ham, as we will have an empty cage. If we get the Ham first we would have to get (or build) a cage to get rats (which won't happen)... See how that works....

I also made "wood stove soup" from Sundays ham bone yesterday so I do have a good lunch today... and HORRAY we have bread!
