So two weeks ago I ordered my sewing machine and it was suppose to take 5-10 days to get it. Well I was anxiously waiting so when my accessories came last saturday (which I ordered they day after my machine) I was very disapointed and more anxious. I was also a little nervous that someone stole my machine since we've had problems with our delivery services before. So monday when I came home from school it still wasn't there so I called the company. She found my order number, with much difficulty and told me that my machine had already been delivered. I told her that was a problem since obviously I don't have it. So I called FedEx and they told me that their records showed that it was delivered to the office on Friday at 2:15. This made me furious. first off I was home Friday at 2:15 so the guy didn't even attempt to deliver it to my door, secondly I could have had my machine all weekend long and I didn't. So I told the guy on the phone that I don't know if he's the one I complain to but I need to vent so shut up and listen. I was so mad.
Anyway, I've had my machine since Monday and have been sewing everyday since then. Its been kind of frustrating so far, sometimes my machine has a mind of its own, but I think my first quilt is going ok so far.
Then today josh and I bought bikes. What a purchase. We did get the bikes on sale, they were only $5 more a piece for what we would spend on our bus passes for the summer. And since we aren't buying bus passes, it was quite the deal. However, we had to buy all the accessories for the bikes, helmets, locks, a pump, and a rack for our car, so by the time we checked out it was more than just $10 more than our bus passes. But if we ride our bikes in the fall too instead of bus passes then we will break even.
So Josh and I took a bike ride to the lab, which is where I am now, i think its about 2 miles to here, and I'm seriously wondering if I am going to make it home. My legs are just not the same now as they were when I was 10 and could ride my bike ALL day long.
So speaking of deals (with the bikes) I have to write about my awesome grocery shopping last night. Josh and I got a HEAPING cart full of groceries, more groceries than I've ever gotten, and good stuff too, lots of fruits, chicken, pizzas, ice cream,eggs, etc. And we saved $29.29 with all the coupons we had. I have never used so many coupons at once, it was awesome. And we still only spent just over $100. I swear we go grocery shopping all the time and we can never get out with under $100 of groceries, well last night we were so close. Josh and I always make bids on how much we spend and usually we're pretty close. Last night, if we played price is right style, we would have both been BIG losers. I think Josh was $40 over. I was like $20 over. We just got awesome deals. I love it.
So now we have a freezer and fridge full of food, emily and eric are coming over. We rented two awesome movies to watch with them, just for emily. Pot roast, jello, movies and snacks. I love my weekends.

How often do you go shopping? We go like once a week and usually spend between 50 and 70. And groceries are expensive out here. We try to eat healthy too, but that's really hard on a budget and while in school. But I like veggies a lot now, so we spend a lot of money on those.
I swear we go at least once a week and spend at least a hundred dollars each time. In all actuallity I'm sure its more like every week and a half. And lately I've been on a big veggie kick, so that makes the bill more expensive.
But how I do enjoy food...
what are we going to have for dinner next week? are you going to invite maria and torrey again?
We do a lot of sandwiches too, which helps keep costs down.
