grocery day

Well, it's grocery day and that is very obvious seeing that I just made stew with the last of the food in my house. I added it up today and realized that we spend just over $7 a day on groceries. Here in Chicago, that would buy you half of a meal at an average restaurant. I guess it encourages me to grocery shop... tomorrow. My stew is smelling goooooood. It's got:

• black beans
• pinto beans
• broccoli
• basil
• tomatoes
• jalapeno peppers
• cayenne
• snap peas
• a veggie mix that has been sitting in my freezer
• and brown rice
• all of which is organic

this is fun! All that's left in my house is some milk... that has probably gone bad by now. yuck.

Mike is in the shower. He just cut his hair, which is nice. It was getting shaggy but he's keeping the beard equal length with the hair-had to be specific this time... don't want another goateein my house!

Oh and the goatee got longer than that!
Adorable child, don't you think? Kaylee is her name. She's not his though I think that the look fits. She's coming to visit me in a few more days! Man am I excited to have Brandon and Sharon back in town! My friend, we can go to the beach and go on walks... to Portillo's to get a cake shake!! They take the best piece of chocolate cake that you'll ever have (second maybe to the Grand Lux) and throw it in a milkshake!! Frosting and everything!

Well, off to finish the stew.
