Another Week

Monday
Today I spent $5.21 on ingredients for the lunch I am making for my Tuesday lunch date.  A few weeks ago I made roasted cauliflower with brown butter and linguine.  I did not enjoy it at all and would not make it again.....but I turned the left over roasted cauliflower into soup and froze it.  It is absolutely delicious, I had a bowl for lunch today.

Tuesday
I bought a cup of tea for $1.77.  I made an asparagus goat cheese toss for my lunch date today.....wow yummy.. I found the recipe on the Canadian Living website.   I will definitely make that again and it was so easy to make.

Wednesday
NO spending day!  What I did do is finish the third book in The Hunger Games trilogy.  That means I read all three books since last Saturday.  It is a great series even for an adult.  I could hardly put it down.  Now I need to find something else to read.  Any suggestions?

Thursday
I got gas and took out $20 in cash....so $40 total spent today. I am not sure how I spent the $20....$3 on Timmies.  That is not good that I have not kept track of the cash.

Friday
Now I remember where the cash went I bought breakfast at McDonalds for $12.60.  I went to a seminar for work so lunch was included and then went to my parents overnight which includes dinner and breakfast and free laundry.

Saturday
A friend and I went to Costco in the afternoon and I spent $20 on crackers and chocolate bars....oh well, we'll call it groceries.  Then we also went out in the evening and I spent another $21 for beers and dessert.  I also spent $2.50 on bus fare.  I had a good time and really enjoyed the company so it is money well spent....Everyone has to let loose sometime.

Sunday
I went to the mall with a girlfriend and I spent $5.61 on poutine from NY Fries.  All in all since I was at the mall I count myself very lucky getting out with that small amount.  I saw lots of things I wanted but this is not the time to be purchasing things.  I have a plan and I am trying to stick to it.

700 Hours of Learning....start now!

Here goes I am embarking on a two year adventure into myself and the world around me through yoga, massage, coaching and other modalities.  With this journey comes a great reading list and journaling.  This is not something I have ever been able to keep up, with much regularity, as you can see from my posts here.....lol One day I may succeed as I continue to practice for the next two years. I have received the reading list and am happy to have just finished Yoga Sequencing:  Designing Transformative Yoga Classes by Mark Stephens.  This book was suggested to me and for obvious reason, it is incredibly informative.  As a beginning yoga teacher it provided great pictures and foundations for infinite classes that I am now able to create.  It will continue to be on my bookshelf as an excellent reference,and I could reread it still getting useful information a second or third time.  Now I will delve further into this genre of reading with Yoga Anatomy by L...

My Cup O Tea

Over the years I have become a fan of tea.  My favourites are non-caffeine.  Green Teas, herbal teas and rooibus.  Almost any loose leaf tea will do.  I once got chamomile tea from a friends parents and it was really just a whole baggie of chamomile flowers.....it was from a place in Sarnia, Ontario but I am not sure exactly where.  It just seems so much fresher when you can recognize it by sight.... In June while on vacation I found a tea store selling hand tied leaves.  What a fantastic aroma of jasmine.  It is the Madame Butterfly tea by Capital Teas (www.capitalteas.com).  It was very expensive and I just couldn't afford it but they certainly had lots of great teas. My most recent vacation in Florida found me in the Spice and Tea Exchange (www.spiceandtea.com) where I purchased a small bag of loose leaf hazelnut cookie tea.  Ceylon black base so not my usual herbal but wonderful smell and tastes very rich.  An enjoyable tea....
