Cheating and it Feels So Good!

So yesterday as we were deciding between spicy chicken sausages or chicken pho I told sketchy that in honor of the first real preseason football games all i wanted in life was buffalo wings and a tastey beer! He said that he honestly had been craving wings/bar food himself but didn't want to make us be bad and get take out and fail the be cheap challenge. In the world of excuses, sketchy said "well it is the first niners game of the year and that's like a holiday to me, so maybe it's merited." lol worked for me. We went to Ledo's for half-priced wings. We were so bad. Got cheesey breadsticks too. Did not take a picture of the massive amounts of bad bar food we got. This brought upon the discussion of one cheat day a week which we will now implement into the be cheap weekly challenge. 

For beer we got a couple seasonal shock top (some crazy apple crisp/cilantro brew which sketchy has deemed his new favorite beer ever) and regular shock top (my fav although that seasonal Kona and the seasonal Red Hook are pretty damn good and worthy of being deemed 'fav'). 

We watched a little bit of a few games and watch the first half of Sketchy's game, ate all the bad food and drank one beer each and both passed out so early! Fantastic evening. 

Today I stayed home and cleaned a lot. We're doing a religious blessing of the house next Sunday so trying to get prepped a week early but doing a little at a time! 

i really wish i had taken a before of this closet. it was seriously a DISASTER. There were things just thrown everywhere. Organization. Love it. 

used some of the pretty colorful flowers and our 1/2 finished bottle display to get this set-up.

will be good when the other two bottles are covered!

our cooktop was becoming out of control. The pans were burning the stove and i guess spilled water was leaving giant terrible stains. Sketchy got a really awesome cook top solution and scrubber. Shiny again!

better angle. Also opened all the engagement presents for the kitchen and reorganized cabinets/counter space so everything fits -- didn't take pictures of the rest of kitchen. meh.

after a day of feeling quite successful in the cleaning dept, I made dinner -- no cheating tonight! And omg it was delicious. Kabobs. Seriously may not want to go buy kabobs ever again! This is an example of how things can legit be super cheap -- this meal is under 10.00! 

homemade raita sauce. 

seasoned rice.

my plate. 

 After feeling even better about having made a successful dinner (no cheating) and sitting in a clean house, Sketchy busted out a fedex package -- my save the date jersey! Talked about this yesterday. Mine came today, We'll get sketchy's tomorrow I hope! 

i love that we got an authentic jersey for me. My only jags jersey is from 7+ years ago, i no longer like the player and it's definitely getting a bit tight.

With this jersey i don't have to be concerned about the player getting cut, traded or me not liking him anymore! And i still get to support the jags with the jersey. =) I want to wear it all the time everywhere. Can't wait to see Sketchy's Jersey next to this one! 

got my jersey and tried it on just in time to watch the jags pre-season game. We got the NFL Pre-Season Live package which allows us to watch all the games on an iPad or comp. We got the cable to connect said device to tv (we'd need it for nfl ticket this football season anyways since we can't get DirecTV in our area we're getting it on ps3/comp). 

During breaks I started DIY-ing our football -- the last piece to our save the date. 

think it came out pretty good!

Tomorrow we're having people over to help with the yard. In exchange for manual labor i'll make lunch/dinner. Sunday we're going to go take our save the date pics at the cliff (if sketchy's jersey ever gets here!). 

Hope everyone has a great weekend.
