Bananas?
I had a perfectly ripe (almost black) banana for breakfast. It was delicious. Bananas + Apples = my favorite fruits.
Bets?
The bet’s off. Remember when Andrew and I made a bet that I could only spend $100 on groceries for the month? Well, the bet’s off. Who won? Neither of us. We agreed to disagree. (Even though I reinforced the fact that I COULD win, if we maintained the bet). You see, of course I could win, but Mr. Andrew and I disagreed on what groceries items were necessities. Plus, the boy would probably lose 10 pounds if I stuck to the bet for the next 18 days…the problem is, he doesn’t have 10 pounds to lose. We decided to just make a few cutbacks each week, rather than totally scrimping. PLUS – my meal plans for the low-budget included very little meat, and honestly…we both enjoy a meat protein each night with our dinner. OOOOHhhh well…I guess, in a way, I kinda won. Because I always win.
Plus, we looked at cameras at Best Buy last night…we’re considering a DSLR instead of another point and shoot. Like tons of other bloggers, we both like the Canon Rebel XSi…anyone have any tips or suggestions as to what kind of DSLR we should get??
Bread?
I’m on the social committee at school – fun! We’re planning our first staff breakfast for this Friday. It’s the end of the grading period and we have a Professional Day = NO kids!
The sixth grade teachers are responsible for bringing bread to the breakfast….WHAT kind of bread should I bring??? I’m thinking about making at least 2 different kinds. Please offer any suggestions!
And just for giggles…look at my cute Harry Potter trying to fly in our kitchen…

aw i’m sorry the bet didn’t work out, but it sounds like you guys learned a lot about your eating habits and will likely save $ anyway! I know what you mean about the boys – if they ate what we ate they would starve! Did you still need a meal plan? I couldn’t find your email so just let me know and I can shoot it over!!

As far as the camera goes, I have been a Canon lover for years. Last year I saved up and bought a Canon Rebel XS DSLR, and I love it! The pictures are so much better and having a lot more control over the picture you are taking is great too.
I think if you have been happy with your point&shoot it’s not a bad idea to stay with the same company, it makes it so much easier for you to navigate the many menus.

I commend you for even attempting that bet. We wouldn’t be able to decide on necessities either.
