MTV

Yeah, i'm a MTV reality junky. tonight I watched the rerun of the RW/RR inferno II and after that I watched Meet the Barkers... I love reality shows. I'm hooked and I know that they have so much junk in them but i'm addicted. I'm not a van of viva la bam though... that stuff gets on my nerves. I used to watch Jack*ss and even have the movie... which is soooo stinkin funny.

While I was watching TV i planned out my next weeks menu and made my grocery list. I've found that if I write down everything i plan on making for dinner and for lunches on the weekends... i spend a lot less money then if I just make a list of things to buy at the store. This may help you too!

I'm trying to cook supper more often. I don't have a good enough reason not to! I've actually taken great joy in doing it... I cooked supper every day last week. Tonight I made salmon patties... i haven't had them in years... i used to love it when my granny made them for me. I was a little grossed out when I opened the can... i had to call my mommy for directions... but they turned out GREAT. We had lima beans and rice a roni with it. I still haven't started cooking desserts with out meals... we're really not dessert kinda folks. Occasionally I buy Ice Cream for us but I haven't in a while. Its hard to buy non essential things when you cannot afford what you really need. But God has really blessed us lately... maybe not in the physical sense but I have a new outlook on things and I have a peace. Which money cannot buy those things.

Matt and I took a money class last year at our church... I joke about winning the lotto but the truth is... that if the Lord can't trust me with the money I have now then he surely cannot trust me with bunches of money. I've got to learn how to manage it before I can make more.... that's my belief anyways.
