"Fall" into September Savings

[Frugalbigmama]

We grew a few things in flower beds not finished yet, Tomoatoes (4 plants) red onion, from plants and 2 zucchini plants from seed. We got one zucchini, and have used about 4 tomatoes (nice huge ones, used 3 with pasta on Friday and shrimp and it was so good) 2 tomato plants didn't grow so well (at side of house so didn't get much sun with the zucchini plants so know not to use again) The red onion need to grow a little longer but we used one small one in our pasta Friday as well. Have to pick the tomatoes as they are huge and green but before they die. Happy with our tomato haul. Think next year I will do same, use grandmas garden. She offered this year but didn't get around to it. Will plant seeds inside for sure in March this year and really use her garden.

Too funny-I went to the Indian visa office this morning and they said I was too early-I leave in 3 months! Anyway since I have to part with my passport for 2 weeks, I suddenly came up with a possible fictitious trip that I might have to make to the US in Oct/Nov and would need my passport back for travel!! Let's see if my little letter to the Indian consulate does the trick-and you never know when you may have to travel!-anyway hopefully my passport will arrive back with the visa !

luv hope you feel better soon hun, maybe make an appointment with your doctor and have a chat, you never know

Thanks Nancy, I did earlier this year, they said that I now have migraine, along with my high BP. Plus they did a MRI a few months ago and it was ok. I guess getting old doesn't help either.

I hope fall doesn't by pass us in the west and go straight to winter, I was looking forward to some nice long walks by the river enjoying the fall colours.

I feel the same way - winter was WAY too long last year!

I'm keeping your husband in my prayers, hoping he is okay.

It's really cold inside here, I was just going to wait to warm things up when I put the oven on to make supper, but it's 3:30 and I think I'll turn on the heat now so it's warm in here when my husband comes home. I don't know whether he worked outside today or not.

Our temperature difference - I'm warm, he's cool - is even more pronounced now that he's lost weight since his injury - mind you, he's put on four pounds! YAY!
Gosh, I've been trying my best by cooking well, having some baking around - and, yes, being pushy with him. He just doesn't grasp the whole 'calories' concept, at all. He's only ever seen food as fuel. (oh, I wish!) I leave out peanuts and chips for him to snack on, but he just doesn't think to do it.

Absolutely correct Luv, hope your migraine(s) subside and give you some relief soon.

coupon girl I think you are making the best decision as you need to be able to use your mouth without being in constant or aggravated pain.

Great goals for September

I love shake n' bake

AND ps dh & I are starting our diets today. I personally slacked off since Easter I lost 20 lbs from Jan to easter then put 2lbs back over the summer with all the breads/carbs - hotdogs & burgers at the cottage. I want to lose another 20lbs before I have the 2nd surgery for my underarms. Wish you luck and wish me luck (lol)

I love shake n bake too!

I'm going to betrying harder to be "good" when it comes to snackies. I wish you good luck too.

It's a rare condition basically it's blocked sweat glands in my armpits (lol), had 1 set of botched surgeries, I now need to get the glands removed, hoping I can do 1 at a time but the surgeon will decide.

Hi all,

Had a little mishap on Friday (was supposed to go in to hospital for testing, so my transplant meds were changed a bit which unfortunately led to my blood pressure crashing). Ended up with a little trip via ambulance to the emergency ward and a little less than 24 hours of entertainment from screaming/crying patients. Sigh. Working towards getting back on my feet - good thing I have a dog that likes to help me and a cat who will boss me around and make sure I behave.

Needless to say, cleaning challenges are a bit delayed. Although I still have to finish emptying the laundry closet - powers that be are coming tomorrow (happy I had a day's delay). Fun times.

Hope everyone is well.
