Sweater Weather – or Hoodies?

I have never been a fan of hoodies. To me, they were sweatshirts with an unnecessary hood. A hood almost never gets used, and when it does, it restricts your field of vision. I would rather just have a sweatshirt – it looks cleaner and weighs less.

I am thinking that even sweatshirts are too casual for some of the activities I like. I should probably step up my wardrobe a little and buy a couple of really nice sweaters. I think a nice sweater and jeans just looks more, I don’t know the word, put together. Or polished.

Red Pen

Do you own a red pen? I have a bunch of pens that are black, a few that are blue, and not a single red one in the house. I want to use the red pen to mark a special set of files. Seems a little strange to get in the car and drive to the store just to buy a red pen. Maybe I’ll just do something else for the rest of the day and wait to pick up a red pen tomorrow on my way to the office.

Pasta Salad

I want to have a pasta salad. You know, the kind you can buy at the deli? Except there are no delis around here. So I guess I have to make it myself. I have no idea what you cal the salad that I like so I can’t look it up without knowing what its called. It has the three colors of spiral shaped pasta and dressing is an oil and vinegar type dressing – with onions, black olives, etc. Do you know how to make this or what it is called?

Counting Pennies

I don’t want to say that money is tight, but wow, the expenses and bills just keep racking up! I have budgeted and scrimped and I can’t seem to save a dime.

Last week I even cut some coupons out of the newspaper and took them to the grocery store. I saved about $12 on the groceries that would have cost $62, and it only took about 10 minutes to sort through the coupons and cut them out. I might be onto to something with that.

Christmas Countdown

Here it is, almost Christmas. Have you got all your shopping done? The weather is bad – they are calling for snow again tonight and we already have the ground covered with the white stuff. The snow is going to mess up a lot of people’s plans for last minute shopping and for travel to go home and spend the holidays with relatives.

Be safe out there, my friends, and have a nice Christmas.
