Thrifty Jes

At the end of December my beloved Adventures of a Garbage Picker was compromised, it made me angry so I left the blogging world for a while, I was unsure of whether or not I would continue blogging. It’s been almost two months and I miss blogging. Life is short. I decided to say Fuck Off, and I am back.

I enjoy blogging, I enjoy writing. I struggle to remember my grammar lessons from school, (Queen of the World’s Longest Sentences right here!) which is funny as I did really well in school in English, and I read a shit ton of books. (I chalk it up to me being an old woman; it’s been a while since my butt sat in a desk at school.) I like writing regardless. I write as I talk: I over share, I speak too fast and I have ideas flying every which way that may seem confusing but if you follow along closely there is “usually” a method to my madness. Oh and I feel that sometimes the English language does not have enough words to adequately describe my goings on, so I make words up. I love to add “-est” to words. It’s what I do.

If you are new to my blogging world: I love food.  I am trying to live a healthier lifestyle.  I am very frugal (who am I kidding, I am cheap as the day is long). I love a good deal.  I love coupons.  I love to Price Match.  I have a potty mouth (fucking deal with it).  I love to talk about poop.  I LOVE to play hockey (I may be terrible, but I love it regardless) and I LOVE my family.

Wonder what has been going on with me since December?

I have been struggling to be healthy. I bought Jillian Michael’s “Shred It with Weights” AND Killer Buns and Thighs.  That woman is the devil, but I love her. I got the working out down pat, but the healthy eating is hard.  (As I type this I have “lost 30 pounds.”) Seriously, world’s longest weight loss journey ever. (Are y’all tired of listen to me whine about this? I am!)

The rest of the time we:

§                We some good times with good friends

§                I finally took a picture of my & my sister's favourite tree covered in snow!

§                I Clue’d it up with some of my favourite peeps.

 

§         We played HOCKEY.  My awesome team won SILVER!

 

§                I actually shopped a bit for myself.

§                Our dog had another allergy flare up, so she ended up costing us another small fortune.

§                We watched Season 3 of Downton Abbey WHICH IS AMAZING. IF YOU AREN’T WATCHING IT, WHAT’s WRONG WITH YOU?!?!?!

§                We watched Skyfall, man, I LOVE Daniel Craig.

 

§               We started getting TMN again so we caught up on Boardwalk Empire and have fallen in love with House of Lies and Girls.  Nurse Jackie started up this week which is awesome.  We also are addicted to Homeland.  (Not on TMN)

§                I am now madly addicted to The Biggest Loser. In previous seasons, I have never watched it. I became Jillian’s bitch from finding online testimonials about her DVDs. So I fell in love with her from her DVDs, this is the first year I have gotten to see Jillian in her true form. She is a scary bitch. But I love her. (And fear her.)

So that’s the latest in a nut shell. I will update when I can. It may be infrequent as I am hoping to be busy in the next few months, but I want to keep a record of it all while I am at it.
