It's chilly outside and I just took a nap. We've stayed up waaaay too late the past couple nights and it caught up with me. Daniel was home this morning but his work called him to go run 2 jobs. He was getting ready to work on the dining room trim right when they called.
Anyway, I'm going to be making chicken noodle soup for supper tonight. I thought about making homemade noodles for it, but I think I'll stick with egg noodles. I haven't figured out what to use as extra filler for it, though. I have noodles, I have broth, I have leftover gravy that I plan use add to it, and I have the chicken meat. I don't have celery or carrots, or I would add some of those to it. Maybe we'll just eat it like it is with some leftover peas, rolls, and maybe I'll throw some celery flakes in there with a little diced onion. This will be meal 3 from the chicken that I roasted earlier this week, and I'm sure we'll have leftover soup. Yay :)
Way off topic, any Dave Ramsey fans out there? I just started listening online to his broadcasts and I must say it's very inspiring! It encourages me to keep doing everything I can to stick to our budget so that extra money can go towards our mortgage. I'm actually checking around with some people in our Sunday School Class to see if I can find a copy of his book to borrow. We've read and re-read Larry Burkett's book, but it sounds like Dave Ramsey might be a little more "up to date", even though the basic principles are the same.
Well, I just wanted to post something. LOL. I guess I ought to go work on the rest of my to-do list. I have about 1/2 of it done and need to fold a load of laundry, dry and fold another load, sweep the floors, dust the living room and feed the dog yet.
I hope you're staying warm and dry!

Sounds like a normal day over there. No carrots or celery? I can't exist without those in my refrigerator. I use them all the time. But, I spend more than $25/week on groceries!
Have you actively pursued helping people clean out their freezers/pantries? You might pick up extra food that way. Whenever Grandma does a cleaning, she always gives me stuff--frozen bananas, buckwheat flour, old bread crumbs or cubes, etc., that she knows she will never use. So far, I have used the stuff generally within a week of her giving it to me. I just thought their may be some elderly folks in your church like her.

We are big Dave Ramsey fans. We took his class and try to stick to what he teaches. I highly recommend his stuff. If you were closer, I would lend you might kit.
I love Dave Ramsey he also has a TV show every night on Fox news! He has a lot of good info. You can also call your local libary to hold his book for you if it is checked out.Have a great day! :)
