Well, there goes the $100 budget! Already. Sigh. $110.82. I blame myself. I'm a snacker. I love dessert. I'm trying really, REALLY hard to avoid snacks and dessert. Apparently I need to avoid impulse buys in the protein bar isle. They're like snacks/desserts/meal replacements all in one. Rather handy if you're a nursing mom who is suppose to consume a few extra calories a day, right?
I like to think I stocked up this week on chicken, tofu, and frozen veggies. There is nothing worse than returning home from a weekend out of town to an empty fridge AND an empty pantry. After a long drive and several verses of 'Old MacDonald had a Farm' the last thing I want to do is go to the grocery store and/or deal with the guilt of a fast food dinner. Old Mac is Lil' T's fave. It's how I manage to shower after a morning run. I don't want to wear it out, so it's a last resort on a car trip. Also, LT likes paper. Fan him with a brochure and he's giggles and smiles (until your forearm bursts into flames).
Last Saturday, we dined with the in-laws (T's newlywed sis and hubs) in honor of T's Birthday. Birthdays are a big deal in his family. T and I selected Chow, a newer pizza and burger joint. It was family friendly, as I expected since I heard about the restaurant at Stroller Strides, and had decent beer selection. Something for everyone. It was LT's first highchair experience at a restaurant. Arugula on a pizza, why yes. Perhaps I need to revisit this green. A few years ago, I consumed one too many Arugula salads and swore it off the menu. And finally, a warm brownie sundae. Split four ways, so it pretty much didn't count. :-)
