I am completely thrilled to be able to say that we are officially rid of our 1997 Pontiac Grand Prix!!! We bought that car fairly quickly after getting married and it lasted us one year. One. I won’t get too far into the specifics of it all, but it ran beautifully when it actually ran. It left us on the side of the road more than once. After dumping over $2500 into it, we bought our brand new 2010 Mazda 3, and that blasted Grand Prix has been sitting in our driveway ever since. I tried to list it on kijiji once or twice, and while I fancy myself decently handy and knowledgable-ish when it comes to mechanics, I didn’t know enough information to be able to sell it myself. I got Brady on the job, and he listed it a couple of times over the last year, with very little interest. He reposted the ad yesterday and today, someone came for it. He was completely upfront about all the issues we’ve had with it, and what he know is still wrong with it. The guy drove it around, checked it all over, and still wanted it. $800 later, the car is out of our driveway, never to return. I’ll say it again – I am THRILLED!
The other accomplishment for today was making smoothie packs. I have to ask you people who have done these before, whats a reasonable price? I bought the biggest bag of spinach I could find, a container of pineapple that was probably three pineapples worth, a big container of mango, two pounds of strawberries, a bag of frozen blueberries, and a bunch of bananas. It was around $35 probably. The spinach only went so far, sadly. I made ten spinach smoothie packs and six fruity ones. The spinach wasn’t super expensive, so I guess I’ll just buy two bags next time, but I was hoping to come out with more than sixteen packs! I don’t know. Maybe a couple of dollars is normal. I’m not very good at consistent meals for myself, and often end up just eating supper, so this is my attempt at eating something in the day! It just seems like a big hit if I buy twice as many ingredients once a month and make a months worth of lunches, just for me! Anyone else feel like it doesn’t seem right?
Either way, here’s what I came up with.
I’ll point out a few specific packs, courtesy of my labeller, Brady.
This one was labelled as “Pineapple Mango,” yet it contains no pineapple.
This one had basically everything. Who knew that “All Dressed” started with and “m.”
I ended up with a few Banana Berry ones, as I had lots of both ingredients. However, this was our only “Banang Berry.” I wonder what a banang tastes like, and where we got one…
So these are all of the spinach smoothie packs…
…and the not so spinach ones. I had forgotten to freeze the yogurt cups, so they’re not in the bags, but they exist, and will be added if I so desire upon consumption. For sure in the non-spinach ones, and there’s not a lot to them. I’m thinking I should have pulled out the almonds as well and thrown them in, but I guess we’ll just keep it simple this first time around. I don’t know, does it look hopefully? And yummy even? I hope so!
Good job, my dear. mmmmmmmmmmmmmm! Should be deeeeeeelish 🙂 Love ya
