Stash shopping!!!
I did not feel like stitching this week! Have you ever felt that way? I was so tired each night because I worked late 4 nights and I just wanted to sit. Today, I went to Jo-Ann's because they had Coupon Mania going on this week! Mark had a $25 visa GC he got for his birthday that was just sitting there begging to be spent. So I spent it! He know BTW...I did tell him.
After all my coupons and Marks GC, I spent a total of $7.00 on 10 floss boxes!!! I was pretty proud of myself!
Just because I didn't feel like stitching, I did do some stitching things. As you can see, I would floss onto bobbins! This is DMC 470 to DMC 563. I am proud of that.
I was able to do this because I blocked my facebook game!! I don't miss it! I actually feel like a weight has been lifted off me! I am no longer focused on having to complete a quest!!!
I was in Barnes and Noble on Saturday. I found this book about having a Flat Belly. Since I don't have a flat belly, I thought this book was calling my name! I found that I lost weight when I did keep my food journal, so I bought this really pretty journal to write my food down.
Another thing, I planned my menu for the next 2 weeks. This list is on the fridge, all the groceries are bought, and I don't have to go to the store this week!!!! YEA me!!!!

I know how you feel. I couldn't put more than a few stitches in anything last week I was so tired every night. The food journal is a great idea! I just need to keep some things stocked up in the freezer that we can just pop in the oven/microwave/whatever when I'm too tired to cook instead of hitting the slide thru!
Great stash buying. I know how you feel about sometimes being to tired to even want to stitch. Been there, done that. Will probably do it again. Great idea with the planning menus. I try to do that. You actually spend less money doing it & less time at the store too. Great idea about keeping a food journal. Never did that. Will have to try it.

Good job on getting the floss arranged. And good deal on the boxes!
I bought some of those today at Joann's. I am so glad I went by as they were on sale. I can't wait to finish filling them up.
I have the jammer boxes, which are 2 sided and love them. I blocked all games on Facebook because I would spend more time being mad that no one was gifting me what I needed but I would gift them. Plus spent to much time on them. I love Sims3(PC Game) so when I have a stitching slump then I play this instead.
awesome stitchy boxes :D i like to see all the floss wound it's exciting.
