I keep my mind on my money, money on my mind.

Okay, yeah, I realize that I've used these lyrics as a blog title before, but you know you like it. Who wouldn't love a song about shaking your money maker?!
Besides, this title fits in with the theme of this week in the lives of Meagan and Victoria. See, we realized that, in addition to being out of money, we've been spending too much of it on lunch, and we want to stop resorting to the credit cards. So, we decided to start packing our lunches. I started it off by making us both lunches on Monday and Tuesday. And, I'm not gonna lie, they were really good. I even included encouraging notes that said, "have a great day! xoxo" AND, yesterday, I cut Meagan's sandwich in the shape of a heart in honor of St. Valentine. Anyway, seeing that I had packed our lunches two days in a row, today was Meagan's turn. What did I get? I'll give you a visual...


3 1-inch Twix fun bars

1 Kashi Almond bar... I hate almonds.




A pack of cream cheese and chive crackers... sick!

and...

I know I sound really picky, but even Meagan admitted it was lame. Whatevs, it made me laugh!

I got to substitute for Anne Marie as a piano teacher again tonight. Little Kayla is so cute... she never talks! She just points at the music and mumbles. And, once again, the people at Texas Guitar Co. are so cool. I wish I could work there!
Now, I'm watching Grey's Anatomy (I don't know why)... it's a tearjerker. Speaking of anatomical things, today in Anatomy, we watched this video about a couple who got in a car accident and what happened to them, blah, blah, blah. So, when the doctor finally sewed up the hole in Laura's spleen and cleaned up all the blood that was spilling into her abdomen, a little voice-over came on and told us what was up...
He was like, "Within seconds, blood begins to flow back to Laura's brain." And amidst our celebrating, I heard little Meagan cry out, "YES! Victory in Jesus." It was really funny.

After school, I bribed that girl into going to Barnes and Noble with me where we enjoyed a nice after school snack. And then we visited Jonathan at Quiznos, which was sufficiently awkward. Haha, and on the way to T & C, Meagan was driving behind me, and I got to watch her in my rear view mirror singing along to "10 Days Late" by Third Eye Blind. If you haven't watched her sing that, you should.

Okay, I'm going to rest now. Today was really stressful-- I had to present my Bible project, take a Calculus test, and freak out about all those "J. Alfred Prufrock" questions. I'll leave you with a little T.S. Eliot...

"Would it have been worth while,
To have bitten off the matter with a smile,
To have squeezed the universe into a ball
To roll it toward some overwhelming question,
To say: 'I am Lazarus, come from the dead,
Come back to tell you all, I shall tell you all'
If one, settling a pillow by her head,
Should say: 'That is not what I meant at all,
That is not it, at all.'"


Hi. I'm John Stamos, and we're the cast of Full House. Say hi, Michelle... say hi, Gibler. "Hi... hi."

"Your eyes look at me for what to do. I can't lie. UH UH. I DONT KNOW." hahaha.

Haha so i have to admit that i failed at my attempt to be a good woman/mother but ill tell you what i did do today. i moved the laundry from the washer to the dryer. It was quite the task but I completed it. There is hope yet.

Again, great pick on the stanza from J. Alfred. We think too much alike sometimes.
