Bricks? I mean really?

Sissy is twisted!

 Yep, this is what I did yesterday morning with Sissy in 27degree weather! We went and salvaged bricks and it about killed me.  I am still frozen but will thaw eventually.

My Sister is one brick short of a load!

I think we got enough for one path.  Now I would have written a check, but Sissy would not let me, and since I did not want her to go it alone, I acquiesced.

We still have to clean all this brick, oh joy, the things I have to look forward too!

Husb was still not feeling great, so He was down for the day drinking Gatorade and eating chicken soup.

So, no linen washing, that will be this morning as He is up and actually drinking a cup of coffee which is a good sign.

After I ran an errand, I went back to Sissy's to unload said brick and then helped her with a five-layer prom dress that was taking over the shop. Took me 30 minutes just to iron two layers, the rest was netting.

I then did a freezer inventory, and we have enough premade dinners for three of us for two months.

This does not count the whole chicken, the whole turkey and a whole ham.  Then there are pork chops, burger, steaks and plenty of chicken in the raw form.

I was able to gift Kim's daughter number two with three meals of stuffed cabbage and three of Swedish meatballs.  I now have room for Chicken and beef enchiladas that must be made and also will thaw six pounds of burger for taco meat.  We do have room for this.

By my calculation we can eat for at least four if not five months.  Now no one wants to eat down their entire inventory and I date everything I make so it will be loss leaders only and fresh produce as we eat a lot of salad.

Still so much fruit and so many nuts left over from Christmas.  Just crazy! Sissy did put a shout out to someone in her Church that bakes like we do, and she is coming to get some of our excess, so it does not burn.

Sissy had a Bride last night at six and did not come for dinner, so I ate scalloped potatoes and ham. and tonight, I will make pork chops with a side of scalloped and corn.  We just do not waste food. I purchased the pork chops in late August, and they need to be eaten before they freezer burn.

So, my focus is to eat the oldest first and this will take several weeks.

Two more days until the end of the month and I have really blown it at the grocery store, way over budget.  I now realize that I love to cook, and it gives me something to do.  I need to find a hobby. I love yard work, but it is too cold to do anything.

I cannot wait until February first as my bank will have my tax forms I need and I can finish our taxes, which will be interesting filing in two states.  I have done this before, and I can do it again.  I refuse to pay an accountant.  Now when I owned a business, I always used an accountant for business taxes, but personal...no way!

Now I am going to strip the Husbands bed and get the linens in the wash and then get dressed and do my morning chores or routine I should say. Husband is taking quilts to laundry mat and will drop me off at Kim's so I can help her in the shop.

I wonder what crazy thing she will want me to do today.

Stay tuned...as life with Sissy is an adventure.
