I feel like I had a lot of them today.
1. Grocery shopping - I got $22.64 worth of food for $8.64 at Tops. Then I stopped at Aldi's and spent $11.51.
2. I found a quarter left in the grocery cart return at Aldi's, which brought my grocery total down to under $20 for the day
3. I made a loaf of bread. It rose. It's in the oven now and smells good. And it's still rising. I hope it tastes as good as it looks. (my last loaf of bread failed miserably)
4. Dinner is cooking on the stove. I used up the rest of the ham and bone, but saved a package for the freezer to make scalloped potatoes with later.
5. I made three batches of cookies for my cookie exchange tomorrow. The first is out of the oven and yummy!
6. I managed to arrange a cookie exchange/Bunco party at my house tomorrow! Latest count has 12 people coming, some of whom I know and some of whom are friends I have yet to meet The hope is to make this a monthly get-together.
7. We celebrated my youngest son's 2nd birthday last night (even though it's not for two more weeks) with my family. We only decided to have the party with one day's notice. We bought everyone pizza and wings and I made a cake. It was a good time and ds2 got a lot of BOOKS!!! He also got some winter wear, which was needed. What he did NOT get was any lot of cheap, easy to break, annoyingly loud toys, for which I am very thankful.
It's been a good weekend so far. I think it will get even better tomorrow!
(DH is laughing at me because not only was I happy to find a quarter, but I was happy enough about it to bother posting it here. Pooh on him...he just doesn't get it)
Small victories
