Here is a peek into our week, in no particular order:

“Things That Zack Tried to Eat This Week”

A glue stick.  He also chewed up and ate part of a plastic coat hanger…I think that the cats are trying to kill him, since they are the ones who keep providing him with these things.  Leo will deliberately throw them at Zack and then watch with interest while I wrestle them away from him.

Our prediction for last weeks weather:

And what we actually received:

Thankfully our power stayed on and it melted within two days.

I found this little beauty on one of our walks a couple of days before the ice.  Spring.  I can’t wait.

This is the bag that I take to the grocery stores with me to keep all the cold stuff in.  As soon as it is emptied I find Leo like this.  

Zack isn’t allowed to be without me during the day – yes he is worse than an infant – so I find Koshka on his bed in our bedroom during the day while we are in other parts of the house.  He will NOT lay on any of the cat beds we have, but this giant dog bed is right up his alley, apparently.

If there is clean laundry to be found on a surface, you can bet there is a cat sleeping on it for me.

A perfect, tiny snowflake.

The ice or wind or both brought this little wasps nest into our yard and Zack has pounced, growled and barked at it every single time we go outside.  Denton said, Isn’t that funny how he knows it something to fear and be wary of?

I made a big batch of my perfect boiled eggs last week.  They didn’t last long.

Leo strikes again.  Sigh.

More stuff off to live at someone else’s house. I checked in with the new manager of our local Salvation Army about the candle containers.  I wanted to be sure that she didn’t just want me to recycle them.  She said, NO.  Bring them on.  She can sell them.  Win win.  Also, how do you store your Christmas ornaments?  I pick up vintage tins like the one above when I can find them.  But this one was weirdly shaped inside.  It had a depression on the top and on the inside bottom, which made the space only about an inch and a half in height.  That wasn’t enough room to hold any of my ornaments, so off it goes.I made another favorite this past week and I just realized that it wasn’t on the blog.  I’ll post the recipe on Tuesday.  It’s so, so good.dexter

On Friday I posted about the show Dexter.  Have you seen it?  Do you agree with me?  Let me know!


groceries

Groceries:  I spent our money at Walmart this week, coming in at a total of $88.93.  I was super excited to find a bag of White Lily flour marked down to $2.09!!!!  I usually can’t even find White Lily flour at our Walmart, much less find it marked down.  It was bleached and I prefer the unbleached, but I’m not going to argue at that price.

Also, do you pay cash for everything, use a debit card or a credit card?  I use our Discover card for almost everything and then pay it at soon as I get home, that way it’s just like using my debit card.  I get cash back from them and I use it for things that I was planning to buy anyway.  My last big “FREE” to me purchase with my cash back was my air fryer.  Now I’m eyeing curtains.  I am hesitating, because, cats who destroy curtains are a thing at my house….

February 20:  $88.93

February 13:  $127.09

February 6:  $102.87


January:  $485.88
