We are still tracking! Yay for us. I know we are over on our eating out budget. We will have to start making our lunches the night before and sticking them in the fridge, because it's all I can do to pull myself out of bed in time for a shower in the morning. That is what kills me... I don't mind to eat leftovers or lunch I've packed, I just never remember or have time to get it ready in the morning. Gotta fix that.

I'm supposed to be taking vacation days today and tomorrow, but I am going to try and go get DH's old TV from his parents' house and take it to my work. We are building a display to try and win a contest, and need to be finishing it soon. Hopefully I can get it in the back of my truck and to work without rain!

Sending off DH's car payment tomorrow. Reminds me that I still need a new tire on my truck. Now that the cold weather has set in, we are having to inflate it again every other day. Must be a slow leak. I probably need all new tires, but we can't afford that right now, and I hate to think that I might buy new tires and then my truck break down! It's held up well so far, so everyone cross your fingers.

Well, I'm off to enjoy a nice relaxing bath and some reading, then do a few things for work and get ready for tomorrow.

    I make all of my lunches on Sunday and stick them in the fridge, so each day I just grab a new sandwich, a small baggie of chips, some sort of fruit, and fill up my water bottle. I have to make my coffee each night and so the automatic timer kicks on in the morning...I'm not a morning person.

    I agree...make your lunch at least the night before. Grab and go.

    I usually have Lean Cuisine or other frozen entrees on hand. I grab one, a couple of pieces of fruit, granola bar, etc. Grab & go. Or else, I'll save a little bit of leftovers in the evening in a container I can take & microwave at work. Of course, this easy solution for me only works because I have access to both a freezer and a microwave. I realize you might not.

    I have the same problem as you. Mornings are not my friend.

    I usually make more for supper, and then pretty much "set a plate" for lunch. Dish out the food for DH and I, and dish out lunch at the same time. After supper, freeze lunch, then you can just grab it before you leave.
