Ahh what a wonderful night! I got home from the gym to find that my dear hubski had dinner all set and ready to cook. He even made a side dish of corn. It was very sweet of him, because sometimes it’s a hassle having to cook dinner after getting home from the gym at 6:30, then having to shower and blog, too.
He made halibut steaks with a pineapple salsa topping. Oh they were so good! I knew they’d be spiced well (always hot and spicy when Shane cooks!) and it was amazing.
I also enjoyed a glass of Pinot Noir. I always seems to pair the wrong color wine with the wrong food lol. I’ve heard white wine goes best with fish, and red with steak or chicken. I always mix that up!

Yep, full out in my workout gear.
He must want something He must have been feeling extra sweet, because then he offered to go get us froyo!

I got the mixed fruit/tropical flavor. This one had nice big chunks of strawberries and banana.
Although, we probably should have eaten the ice cream in the fridge to save money because…..WE’RE GOING ON A CRUISE!!!
It’s official! Later this year, the hubski and I will be cruising along the Carribean with another couple. I’m SO pumped. Time to start shopping for bikins while they’re still in out for the summer!
Yeaaah.
One of the money saving tactics Shane and I are practicing to help save for the trip is to have “No Spend Days,” where we don’t spend any money at all (except in case of an emergency.) We’re doing this out for two days a week, and just being concious of our spending the other five. I’d really like to not have to cut corners on groceries or my gym membership, so this is what we’re trying for now. We’re also cutting back on meals out and trips to the mall.
The Running Yogini made a post today with some good ideas on how she saves.
How do you cut costs without giving up what’s important to you?











I love the idea of the no spending days, my husband and I are trying to save for a vacation some time in the near future too, I'll have to run that idea by him. I always pair the wrong wine with the wrong food too, but I don't care as long as it works for me! I just added you to my blogroll btw! Have a great day
What a sweet hubby!! Looks like he made an awesome dinner!
I NEVER know how to pair wines! I am horrible with that! Plus, I'm not a fan of white wine… so I always go for red!
Congrats on the cruise! I have never been on a cruise… but anyone who has been on one can never wait to take one again! I'm sure you two will have a blast!
And I think your money saving idea is perfect!! I think JR and I may have to do something like that, too! Things are rough right now… and we'd love to get back to disney soon with maddie!
Have a great day!
YAY! Cruises are so much fun! Enjoy
I always think we pair the wrong wine with dinners…but then I think "who cares, it tastes good." I love me some vino!
Enjoy the cruise!!
Aww thanks for the shout out
Congrats on your cruise!! How exciting! BTW your shoulders are to die for! What are your fav shoulder exercises?
Awww what a great hubby!! How exciting about your cruise! I was supposed to go on one this summer, but we had to cancel because of money
To cut back, I only shop the sales, and buy my fruit at Costco (so much cheaper!). I also rarely eat out.
Yogini- favorite shoulder exercises? Isn't that an oxymoron? :-p haha, actually I'd say pushups arey fave. Yours?
