After shopping all day, I cooked dinner and squeezed in 20 minutes on the treadmill for my 'Grandmas Getting Fit' goal, and now I am relaxing on the couch, listening to music and trying to catch up on some of the weekend blog hops I entered.
I rarely shop for myself, but today I just kept finding things that I felt I needed...or really, really wanted :) and I had a ball doing it too. Here is what I got:
An iPod iP39 Kitchen Docking Station/Clock Radio/Speaker System. I thought it would be perfect for my desk since it has such a small footprint. Now I can listen to my pod casts while I am working. They sell just about everywhere for about $100 but Sam's Club has them for only $50, so that was a deal!
I got a new down pillow. My old one is at least 8 years old and although it is my favorite pillow it seems so small now. Perhaps the down has just compacted too much over the years. I will keep it and use it for a knee pillow though.
I bought a new set of Pyrex baking dishes. I have slowly lost my pyrex over the years...they walk out the door with left overs and never return. I needed some small ones for making meals just for me and Terry. I am so use to cooking for a big family that I really have a hard time cooking just for two...I am learning though.
I bought two new easy to cook, low-fat cookbooks. They were the same book but two different editions. The newest edition said it had 'All New Recipes' and I could not decide which would have the best recipes, so I just bought both. Then I found a really great recipe for Chicken Pot Pie in one of them but I don't like canned biscuits that it called for as the topping, so I made my own bread topping from a different recipe. Here is a picture of the finished product. We both Loved it.

I also bought a hideously ugly 2 pc flannel pajamas set. They have a retro look to them and have a breakfast print on them with very large images of bacon, eggs, and toast...very ugly, and enough to make me want to lose my breakfast. But I am a flannel pj's kind of gal and they were on sale for $8.00 {probably because they were so ugly} and they were in XL, the bigger the better when it comes to flannels. Here is a picture of them...Ugly huh?
So all-in-all I think it was a pretty good day. How was your Sunday?

Sounds like you had a great Sunday -- complete with flannel PJ's -- I love flannel PJ's and I don't think they're that ugly. They would make me hungry every time I wore them but that's a whole different problem :-)
ReplyDeleteWe had a pretty good Sunday -- went to church this morning and then did some household chores this afternoon. Had the in-laws over for Chinese food and now I'm hanging out while DH watches the Super Bowl and the kids have their baths and play. So pretty good overall :-)
