It started with a 90 minute school delay because of the ice. I made Granny Annie's pot roast and stuck it in the oven before taking youngest to the bus. I added fennel, leeks, bay leaf and astragulus root too. It was really good and quick when I got home from Girl Scouts. Especially since my hair dresser was coming shortly there after.
In the morning I went shopping with a friend to see what bargains may be around. I think things were cheaper before Christmas. But, I had coupons - like that is a surprise. So, for 97 cents I got a sweater twin set, another sweater, a pair of jeans and a long sleeve T. The T is for oldest's sweet sixteen and the rest is for me. Youngest is now approaching a girls size 16 because of her long legs. Most kids stores go up to 14 and I'm not sure what the equivalent to a 16 is in juniors. I'll have to find out.
Any way, the day went well and other than hubby forgetting his cell phone and me waking up at 1:45AM to the sounds of police sirens (his ring tone for his police dispatcher buddy) life is good. Today is back to work.

97 cents??? are you KIDDING? you ARE a goddess!!!!!! im so glad you enjoyed the pot roast - ive started adding parsnips cause ive discovered i really love them...i will have to try fennel and leeks!
The pot roast sounds delish and the shopping bargains, Divine. Wow, you are amazing. I think a girls size 16 is about a size 5 or 7, depends on the manufacturer of course.
Living in Southern California for so long, I forgot about ice and school delays. I don't miss it.
I just tagged you for a photo treasure hunt, please stop by my blog for details if you would like to play along. Thanks so much.
I love parsnips too - Iwould have thrown those in as well but I used them all in the ham and bean soup.
I was thinking a size 5 as well. At least I have a place to start when I bring her to try on clothes.
