I looked out my window at 7 and it was nice and clear - thought to myself - good! won't have to scrape my windows. Then at 7:40 I headed outside to find my car covered in snow!
It snowed pretty much all day today. The temp is supposed to go in the negative tonight/today. Brrr!!

Last night NE and I went to Walmart and did some shopping for the week. I spent $14 on two bags of cat food for Kari (using 2 coupons) and $7 on groceries.
After that we happened across another area of town that was beautifully decorated, so of course we meandered around there for a bit.

I totally spaced on getting my eBay item out today. Will definitely have to do it tomorrow to keep within my two day turn around time. Oops.
I plan on taking workout clothes with me to work tomorrow and using the bus gym after work. I haven't been *quite* as exhausted lately, so maybe I'll actually be able to make myself do it.

I stopped at the library today - had a book to return and a book to pick up.

On FB today I saw someone in a YNAB group post say they managed to feed a family of 5 on $25/week!!! Um.... I can't even imagine. That's not even $1/day per person. I was feeling kind of good that I got my grocery spending (minus junk food) down to less than $150 for the month...

I'm thinking of letting go of my crockpot and rice cooker/steamer. I bought them two? years ago and they both are still in their boxes.. I keep meaning to USE them but it just doesn't happen.
Can you cook sweet potatoes in a toaster oven? If so, then I could let go of my toaster too and get a toaster oven. It seems really silly to get my oven going for just one potato - but I just don't feel comfortable cooking more than one at a time (botulisim or whatever it's called that can happen in baked potatoes in the fridge ...)

I'm wondering ... I'm getting emails about replies to my posts, but I'm not getting notices about responses to other people's posts. I've noticed a few posts with new responses by pure chance ...

By the way, I had the same idea about a toaster oven... I just ordered one; I'll post on how it is! I got a "scratch and dent" model for about 50% of the next lowest price I could find.

We'd enjoyed mild weather until snow late night 25th. Today negative 21 but wind chill took us to negative 30. There were 120 accidents on our hilly roadways today and a 20 minute trip to pick up someone at the airport took 1 hour, 20 minutes and looked more like fairground bumper cars but vehicles today just crumble

I don't know for sure, but I think we got around 1 1/2 inches or more.
Buendia - Where did you find a scratch and dent model? I'd love to hear how you like yours and what model, etc. Our high was 21 and our low is supposed to be -2.
Snafu - I had a different crockpot before that I used fairly often, but then it was packed away for two years and got ruined .. I replaced it finally two years ago, but I guess I'd gotten so out of the habit of using one ... The rice cooker/steamer I really thought I'd use ... but again, never have. Space is at a premium in my kitchen, so if I got a toaster oven, I'd HAVE to get rid of a few other appliances. The only appliances I use daily/semi-daily are my blender, toaster and microwave.
Yowsa! Our weather doesn't quite match up to yours!
