Gotta Get My Clothes Back

I'm not proud of the fact that after my daughter was born, I gained a bunch of weight that I've yet to shed.

I have fat clothes, but only a few. And a few that I do have, I've loaned to my pregnant younger sister when she's dropped by after work and has wanted something to wear besides her work uniform while we hang out together. I've yet to get anything back from her that I've loaned lately, and so, my wardrobe is smaller than ever. 

The urge to go shopping has been very strong lately. 

Each time I see her, it crosses my mind to ask for them back, but I've yet to get the gumption to do do. She won't yell or anything, but I just worry about looking petty.

Ideally, I'd lose some weight so that I can get back into my regular clothes, but that's easier said than done. Meanwhile, I have no shorts in this sweltering weather.

I really want to shop. I gotta get my clothes back. And lose the weight.

thredUP

Yesterday, I heard about a site called thredUP . Through this site, you can buy used clothes for your growing child from other parents, and sell the ones your child has outgrown. As quickly as our little girl goes through clothes at this stage, I think this sounds like a great idea. I'm constantly pulling clothes my daughter has outgrown out of her closet, and I feel like she's forever running out of clothes that fit her. I plan to look into it a little more, and I just might give it a try.

Frozen Dinner Thoughts

I've been trying to give some thought to what kinds of foods would make good homemade frozen dinners.  (My first post on the topic is here .) Tomorrow is grocery day, so I'd like to have an idea what kinds of things I can make to make sure I have all the ingredients. So far, I'm planning stew (per my husband's request) and a crustless cheeseburger quiche. Hopefully, I can think of another seven options between today and tomorrow.

Marking a Milestone; Saving on Internet

I just noticed this is post number 100. Whoo hooo! I found an even cheaper solution to my home Internet. Currently, we pay $110 a month to the phone company for our home phone and Internet service and $28 a month to the cable company for basic cable. My plan was to switch our Internet to the cable company, which would cost about $65 a month for the level of Internet speed I'd like to get, then cut out TV cable service and the home phone. That would eliminate the $110 phone bill all together, but what we pay to the cable company would a little more than double. To get TV service, I bought this: I love the Roku, which streams TV shows and movies to the TV. It doesn't require a subscription to a service to stream -- there are quite a few free options -- but to increase variety and to have access to new TV shows, I sprang for subscriptions to Netflix and HuluPlus. (Until my membership to Amazon Prime expires this coming December, I also have a whole additional set of shows ...
