Table for Two

I need some advice. I find it really hard to cook and grocery shop for just two people. Does anyone else have this problem? I do like to cook and I would much rather make a good meal then have a sandwich. I don't mind cooking (most nights.) Some days after a long day at work I am just not in the mood to cook. But I find myself wasting ALOT of food! Most recipes are made for 4 servings so I always have leftovers. Most of the time I can put the leftovers in Brandons lunch or in my lunch but I also end up throwing alot of food away. I mean sometimes we are just not in the mood to have leftovers.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Also I have the same problem grocery shoppig sometimes. For example, I like lettuce and tomatoe on my sandwiches. But I don't eat sandwichs everyday so I only use the head of lettuce a couple of times before it goes bad and has to be thrown out. Now I know what you are thinking, "make salad." Well Brandon doesn't like lettuce so I am basically buying a whole head of lettuce just for myself but it is such a waste.
The bottom line is I am tired of throwing away food and being so wasteful!
What a dilemma!

Price of Gas

So I have noticed that the price of gas is going down (slightly). Don't get me wrong it is still WAY more than it needs to be. I was very excited to be paying $3.43 a gallon this morning! So I thought I would ask everyone how much gas is where you live?

Front View!

Well here is a picture of my hair from the front!

New hair cut!

BEFORE
I got a new haircut! What do you think? I was about two inches short of being able to donate to locks of love. The lady said we could do it but my hair in the back would have to be at my hair line which is just a little too short for me. So maybe next year I will grow it out two inches longer. I have always wanted to donate to locks of love, plus if you donate your hair the haircut is FREE!

Upgrade

BEFORE

So this weekend we went out and got us a new TV. We figured since we had won our last TV (so lucky) we could afford to get a bigger tv for our living room. So we upgraded from 32" to 46".

AFTER

We were watching womens synchronized diving when I took this picture. Our old tv got moved into our bedroom which is nice since we didn't have a tv in there before. So I think we will be set in the TV department for awhile. At least until the technology changes and there is something bigger and better out there. I hate technology, it can get so expensive!

Just Because!

I was pleasantly surprised today when I got home from work. Brandon got me flowers, and the best part... there was no reason! I love getting flowers especially for no good reason :)
And I just LOVE getting different kinds of flowers! Roses are always nice and they are classics but I love getting a variety of flowers to enjoy! I have always loved sunflowers!
Good Job Brandon!

Beijing 2008

Has anyone else been watching the Olympics? Brandon and I have been glued to our TV. I am not sure when we became such big fans of the Olympics but it is very exciting stuff. Friday night I was watching the opening ceremonies when Brandon got home from work and he sat down and watched with me (even though he didn't want to watch it.) There is just something great about the WHOLE WORLD coming together to compete. It's inspring. These athletes are SO good at what they do. In the last couple days we have watched and became interested in events like diving, volleyball, rowing, and our favorites are definetly SWIMMING and GYMNASTICS!
Michael Phelps is for sure our favorite! He is an awesome swimmer. Saturday night we watched him win a gold medal and break the world record. It must be so AMAZING to represent your country and win a gold medal. Watching the Olympics has made me wish I was this great at ANYTHING! LOL
I told Brandon we should try to go to the 2016 Olympics in Madrid Spain! How cool would that be?! He said "we'll see."
WE WILL SEE!

Vegas In a Nutshell!

So I Just wanted to share some pictures from my trip. The more I thought about it, I came to the conclusion that I might never post anything if I was waiting to have time to post about every event that happened. So here are some highlights of my trip! :)

This is me and my family at the airport right before I left... I was so sad to leave :(
