We don't have cable TV at home. We rely on Netflix and DVDs for shows and movies. We don't think cable is worth spending money on when we don't really spend much time watching it. But while we are visiting family, we watch tv. I just found a new tv show on TLC called Extreme Couponing. I've got to say that I am intrigued. People get hundreds of dollars of groceries for next to nothing. I just can't understand reasoning random products just because you can get them for free. If it's not something I'm going to use, I'm not going to free-buy it in mass quantities. So, this summer, I am going to try to start saving money by couponing. Not extreme though. I can even understand a small stockpile ... but I don't have the space for that. Wish me luck. Send me coupons ;).
We ate out quite a bit. But Ryan did make cheese and beef enchiladas and lime pie. Tasty! A second trip to Sake was eventful. When we walked in, we didn't see anyone. The place had just opened. We sat down at our table and I look at the sushi bar and I saw my uncle! He spent a lot of time in Korea so he really digs Asian food and really loves Sake. Ryan and I order and eat then Uncle J comes over and chats with us a bit. He had ordered us some soft shell crab so when it came out, I was a little iffy. But it tasted amazing. We can't wait to go back just so we can have that again.
I spent a weekend out at Crystal Beach with a friend whose family owns a beach cabin. They'd had one before the hurricane (Ike) and chose to rebuild. I stayed at the cabin before the hurricane and it was okay. After the rebuild though, that place is nice! Friday night, it was me, Jess and J. Saturday morning, J left and M showed up. Later Saturday, A & R showed up. There was much drinking, many jello shots, walks and cruising on the beach and my delicious food. I played cook - which is always fun for me. I kept myself slathered in SPF 50 but missed a few small spots - so red patches remain, but don't bother me. We really didn't do too much. It was very nice an relaxing. I only planned on staying one night but I hadn't been sleeping well and Ryan suggested I stay the second night. It was really nice to have some uninterrupted sleep.
We made it home yesterday afternoon and I'm starting some deep cleaning sessions. We haven't really unpacked everything yet, but it's getting there. I plan on doing laundry every day until I get caught up. Today, I deep cleaned the master bathroom. It was just horrible. But I reorganized, got rid of some junk and scrubbed every surface. I hope we can keep it clean. Tomorrow, I believe I'll work on the master bedroom. There isn't a great deal to do in there. Mostly dusting and straightening up.
Now that we are home, it's time to get meals in order. So, here we go with my Menu Plan Monday!
Sunday - Out of town
