Where You At?
Where you at? Well, my 5th grade English teacher would “I’m after that sentence that you just ended with a preposition.” Good thing she ain’t here, so I can use my bad grammar and say again “Where You At?” That’s probably the question that my frequent blog visitors are asking, Carli where you at?… I’m here, I’m alive. I’ve been swamped doing a financial overhaul of my life. I have papers everywhere. I could give you all of gory details, but I feel like I’m finally getting to a better place. I’ve removed credit cards from my purse and set up a stricter budget plan. I usually go out to eat a lot, because I like it and it’s usually quick and easy. Sometimes it’s hard to come home and cook a whole meal just for me. And people say, well eat left-overs. I’ve never been a big fan of leftovers. I like to eat new things. Anyway, this past week I did a really good job of coming home cooking and taking dinner for lunch. Although I do still have a half of a pot of chili and a half of a Crockpot beef stew left. I think I’ll freeze it. I went to the grocery store this evening and bought a bunch of frozen meals. Those should be good for the days that I’m in a hurry and don’t have time to cook. Frozen meals have come a long way from chicken-like nuggets and weird mashed potatoes. I was able to get Panini sandwiches, barbecue chicken pizza and frozen veggies with sauce.
Anyway, I’m sad to admit that I missed group training again this past weekend. I was preparing for a meeting with my accountant. I have some investments that went down when the economy went down so I’m trying to get things back on the right track. Now that I’m about 75% done getting my finances in order I felt like this week will be more normal. I’m about only six weeks from my half marathon. The time is getting closer and closer, I’m excited! I hope this weekend that I can get in 10 or 11 miles. The strange part is I think that I can do it.
