green smoothie – reminder to not duplicate! 1/4 c broccoli, 1 c soy milk, 1 banana, 1 apple, 1 c ice. Too viscous, too much broccoli.
salad – baby lettuce assortment, raw sunflower seeds, cheese, broccoli, tomato, apple, homemade italian dressing
dinner was another of the above salads, minus the seeds.
I was thinking about getting into greeting cards this year. Are they something you buy? Are they something you would buy if you saw them and they were just that awesome?
Not handmade – I think I’d be printing through snapfish, mainly because they do a good print job and I can usually find 20% off coupons for them.
They would be designed and photography, blank on the inside (I think… I guess if it was just begging for a “caption” I might print some with a line or two inside).
I don’t have a price in mind, but I don’t want to invest money in printing either, if it’s going to be a waste.
I buy cards all the time, and send them when I have the time.
I know, some of you are asking, “Jenn, this is different from your wishlist how?” Easy. My wishlist is stuff I probably would not buy on impulse, or because I have the money for it now and I want it. This stuff is. I almost ordered some of this stuff just last night, to get in an extra “fun for me” before I try not to spend money this month. I controlled myself. Yay me! So, this is my January Wants list, and at the end of the month I plan to re-evaluate the list, see what I can cross off entirely, what I can maybe move to February’s list, and what I can actually purchase. I expect that last list to be quite small.
- some pieces for the juicer – I’d like a new mesh juicing cone and maybe another lid sieve, but I think I can manage OK without those things.
- some pieces for the blender – the vitamix blender pitcher fits on my base, so I am happy to know I can get more parts there. I do have to figure out if it’s the 5200 pitcher or the older models, and I can’t quite tell from looking at them online. One of the pitchers we got with the blender is a vitamix pitcher though.
- I was entertaining the thought of getting a Flip, but my camera does great video, so… glad I did not impulse buy that! I am still keeping it on this list though. I am kicking myself for not getting it when I saw them marked down to like 20$ or 25$ a few months ago.
- I want to go to http://www.greatballsofyarn.com/ and get some yummy yarn… not that I need it.
This morning I had some left over sushi for breakfast (we splurged last night on yummies). I’ve had Vitamin Water, and I am going to make some fresh juice later on today. I also had a few bits and pieces of cantaloupe. Yum. I need to cut the other one, I think the kids finished off what was left.
I am also going to try my best to not spend money in January. I’ll be keeping a list of things I’d like, and I’ll see how well I get along with out them, instead of buying them immediately. I think I’ll make a post and ust edit it as items get added to that list.
I’ll edit this later on with the rest of my food for today.
ETA: strawberry-mango smoothie/sorbet…thing; orange/ice sorbet thing; salad with homemade italien dressing, tomatoes & cheese; naked berry blast juice
