Poor, and loving it.

Being poor is fun. Really, it is! You come up with the most creative things when you're poor! Gifts, dinners, date nights... They all turn out to be extremely interesting.

Take for example, last night's dinner. Talipia fillets, marinated in vinegar and honey, with a side of Spanish Rice. Granted, the talipia was dry and the rice was chewy, but who would have thought to put them together? It was a great combination! Grate the bit of cheese we have left over the rice, drench the fish in some soy sauce... Dinner was delicious.

My sister-in-law's birthday is today, and the Husband and I wanted to do something nice for her, but we're still low on cash. So, we came up with a great idea that would be great for both of us. The Husband and I are going to stay at their house with their three kids over night, and off our little apartment to them for the night. We'll watch the kids, bathe them, put them to bed, wake them up, give them breakfast and give the parents a full night off. They're going to chill-ax at our apartment, watch TV, probably go out for dinner, sleep in as long as they want, and we've provided breakfast stuff for them in the morning. Works out all around!

I just hope it works.... :-)
