Week #3: Guilty Pleasure

Guilty As Charged

I really don't need an excuse to get carried away. It's shameful really. I know I need to get the laundry done, boil the chicken, or make those bagels but so often I get mega carried away by a good netflixing.

This should be what Netflix asks, right?

Don't you love how Netflix asks if your still watching? No I went on a marathon run and forgot I left the show on, YES I'm still watching. Breath, in the nose out the mouth. With the wonderful snow that came trough it was the perfect occasion to sit mind numbingly in front of the television. For hours on end, I would think I'll make lunch after this episode, then ,oh, never mind I'm not hungry. Eventually I drug my booty out of the house and walked the neighborhood enjoying the tingle in my nostrils and lung with each inhale of cold snow laden air. I can't believe I almost missed it.

Really, you like that?

And what show prey tell could keep me cooped up for 4 days straight? X-Files. Yea, you heard me, and what?
I loved this show back in the day and with the upcoming release on FOX I could help myself. I didn't make it through all nine season's that would be preposterous, no I only made it through seven.

It's like Christmas all over again

Sunday January 24 after the football game.

Scully, Mulder and I will be reunited, but only for six episodes.

Do you have that thing from your youth that you get excited over, well sadly this is my guilty pleasure.

My family doesn't get it either, that's perfectly okay with me. It means it's my thing and I don't have to share it.

Here's to conspiracy theory's and freaks of nature!

Our allotted budget is $130 but the goal is to stay under $100

I Don't Leave Home Without It

I generally plan on Wed when I have 30 minutes before mass chaos begins.

I shop on Fri so our family menus (posted on the fridge) run from Fri to Thur.

How do I keep it all straight without pulling my hair out? I use Pepperplate.   

This site/App keeps all my recipes, super easy to upload from other sites, 

my shopping list which automatically uploads, my weekly/monthly planner, 

AAAND  (with best infomercial voice I can muster)   So Much More! 
(Nope I didn't get paid to say that either.)

Matthew 11:25-26        
At that time Jesus said, "I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and have revealed them to infants. "Yes, Father, for this way was well-pleasing in Your sight.
