Weekend's Over, Now What?

And as quickly as it arrived, it departed - poof! However, I didn't feel one iota of guilt for not doing a thing today as I worked yesterday and plan on taking off on Friday. Instead, I cooked (Egg Crepes - more on that later), watched the Next Food Network Star (love JAG & Nikki!) and caught up on the season premiere of HEX. Yesterday I dropped by Borders on the way home and picked up CSI's Season Five for $35.00. Hot damn! I keep finding it online around $73. I also picked up the book "The Starter Wife" and, when I'm done, I'll let y'all know and pass it along to a willing reader.

Also, I browsed around the grocery store, however, I have a question. I went in there with a budget of $30/$35 however, I wound up spending $48 (that's after a $5.00 coupon). However, while I know I didn't need to buy the $7.00 Orzo pasta, in the long run it will last me a while. Damn that Food Network for giving a fabulous orzo pasta dish that is on my "Must Try" list. Back to the question - Why is it that one can ALWAYS go over budget when it comes to the grocery store? For someone who is big on couponing, I have yet to get into the couponing bug re: groceries. I also don't read the Sunday paper - perhaps that is the problem. I use the Publix coupons when I see them and take advantage of the buy one/get one sales, but still.

So, all in all uneventful weekend - but next week I have a birthday soiree on Friday, a brunch on Sunday (maybe) and a cooking class next Monday (Tiramisu - YUM!). So, taking a little me me time, not checking my work email and just vegging on the couch isn't gonna shoot me in the foot today, hopefully.
