I bought food with food stamps and cooked dinner.  I did splurge though.  3 NY Strip Steaks, mashed potatoes, buttered corn and yeast rolls.  I spent the evening catching up on the internet and watching some TV shows I was behind on.  Trying to brainstorm ideas for Christmas gifts.  Crafty time after cleaning time?

I need work, can't pay my bills, am in debt and going through a divorce. I miss feeling like I was doing good by this planet. I miss being vegeatarian (and so does my body!). I miss how less stressed I felt before. I also miss my littles who have been spending a bunch of time at their father's while I desperately hang on for dear life. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want to stand on my own two feet, graduate from college and continue on to follow my dreams.  I want to maintain my integrity and do right by others. I would also like to greatly minimize my geologic footprint.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1418992805508791572-4032782385213526587?l=frugalgeologist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://frugalgeologist.blogspot.com/feeds/4032782385213526587/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://frugalgeologist.blogspot.com/2009/12/after-several-failed-attempts-at-not.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1418992805508791572/posts/default/4032782385213526587'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1418992805508791572/posts/default/4032782385213526587'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://frugalgeologist.blogspot.com/2009/12/after-several-failed-attempts-at-not.html' title=''/><author><name>Vannie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01642035104488914637</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
