Two bowls

Two bowls doesn't seem like a lot.  But they add up.  I keep unpacking boxes and marveling at how many of each item I have.  So far the only bowls that have not escaped the departure box are hand made pottery ones that I have picked up when traveling.  And I love them.  They are the perfect size and shape and make me smile every time I use them.  Yes, I know that some day I will likely break them if history is any indication.  And it will be sad but will also be an opportunity for new amazing lovely bowls to join my kitchen.

We had a short chat about how many place settings did we think we needed.  We agreed on four because we only have four chairs for our (packed) table and our kitchen/dining area is small.  We enjoy smaller groups of people much more than larger ones.  And, if we have more than four people at the house for food, we will just use paper plates.  Because I really hate washing dishes.  Silverware and coffee mugs are so far exempt from this rule.

Additional positive - I packed lunch and breakfast for us and made dinner at home multiple times this week.  Yay!!  This is normally a huge time crunch issue for the mornings.  I kept this goal in mind when I was grocery shopping and it looks like a success so far.  We harvested greens from the garden for salad last night even.  It was delicious.  And I managed to use some coupons before they expired.

I have been shopping for new bike shorts, lots of good sales on right now and the weather looks like it might allow for some evening rides.  The great quality/price battle continues.

Next challenge - traveling out of state this weekend.  And it's payday tomorrow.  So I will be focusing on paying bills first and not impulse buying.
