Am I safe or am I in a rut?

[luvtimes]

I just thought when I went to the grocery store a few days ago, I saw a cookbook and I took the time to go through it considering the store was crowded and I had the time... and I scanned through some of the receipes and thought I can do that, I can do this... I'd like to try it but.....
 
why didn't I buy the book, it was only 3.98... my speed, ok...lol
 
but I didnt... and I'm almost ready to go back and get it tomorrow.... problem is...
 
I would use it but you know how it is...you have to have all the ingrideints to make it taste like the reciepe and I would feel cheated if I didn't have everything.... and also... the grocery store I shop at does not sell everything.... like eggplant which I know I don't like cause I just don't.... but I'd be willing if I could make it taste ok...
 
I don't know, I'm just sick and tired of eating the same ole garbage and not being satisfied or the meal being enjoyable... I want something different and economical of course...so why do I keep going in and getting the same ole stuff I'm used to... not even thinking about changing or making it any other way...
 
I'll just say it... I'm in a rut... ok... there I've admitted it... so how do I change? 
 
I just don't know...  help!

Love, last year  I planted vegetables of all sorts in large plant pots. I didn't have to deal with weeding that way and watering was easy. I got a pretty good crop of food too.

You change it by getting the hell out of your comfort zone. Do something you don't ordinarily do, you don't have to be rich to enjoy yourself. Go to a Museum, the Zoo or Cedar Point. And quit eating so much, you are fat enough already, lose some weight.

Darn Mud...you're right... but they closed the museum do to lack of funds here... but good idea.... have you priced those far away event like Cedar Point lately... Whew!  I would subject anyone to pay that kind of price for that kind of fun unless there was something that I just had to see...
 
They have the Canfield State Fair here... a lot of fairs... love them... I can lose almost every single dime I take with me there trying to get a stuff animal I can get at the Dollar store for 1.00... hey I gamble...a little...
 
Speaking of gambling... they have a casino not to far from here... my idea of fun when I'm going to waste money...
 
I think if I won the Power Ball, I'd move to Las Vegas and purchase a condo...
 
EmilyB.... I'm going to bookmark the source you offered for the next rainy day... and start making some different kind of stuff here... I honestly could go days without eating and I don't call it a fast, I call it not interested in messing up the kitchen for another ho hum meal... so I load up on Ramon noodles for those occasions....sad but true...
 
I will get different cereals to change up a bit...
 
thanks for the helpful advice...
 
Sun.... my tomatoe seeds and watermelon seeds washed away due to the extreme rain we get here...they tried but didn't make it... so I'm just going to toss the seeds and the soil in a spot and hope is all I have left.... I think the strawberries are doing great though... just no strawberries in sight... can't figure that out for nothing...unless they weren't strawberries...
 
See, there's no organization in my garden... I plant according to sun and shade... mostly shade here...so... I'm feeling a little depressed about that....
 
Oh!  Peach tree is going to make it... yea!   it just took off.... it just needed a lot of water.. the pear tree also... and the redbud... keep in mind they are new and less then 1 inch around... so it will be years before I can see the difference... just wanted to start something...
 
Grass is over the top... so green and growning like crazy... with all the bricks I have to edge it a lot... any good ideas to make that less of a chore... I'm going to take some red bricks and surround the trees with them as soon as the grass is dry...
 
My painter is doing a sloppy job... I don't remember if I posted that yet... I know I typed it... but I may have deleted it cause I'm tired of troubling you all with my problems... but I could honestly kick that painters ass... he's got primer all over the room and doesn't want to use cardboard of a tarp... says it's unsafe... I think it's unsafe for him to not use it... cause it's making me postal... I should fire him... but... it's why-Town... and I'll have to find a way to clean up his mess... another outdoor job call it unexpected cost...
 
going to be a hot day and maybe some of the dampness will go away... I don't know.. I'll check the weather when I get though posting...
 
I think the red daylillies have popped but I'm not sure cause...it could be a weed... do I dare? 
 
Whew! 
 
later...

Seeds don't wash away in pots luv.
