Hopeful,

I noticed your signature line.
How are you common law married if you live in Ohio and common law marriages were banned in 1991 in Ohio?

We lived in the Carolinas until December 2012. North Carolina accepted Common Law until May 2012. When Amendment One passed there banning Common Law brought from another state (ours was formed in South Carolina) we began planning our wedding. I've always been on the fence about having a marriage certificate for political reasons that I'm not going to debate here. We had talked about it over the years and for one reason or another never had gotten married.

The move into the frozen north is within the last month. In 58 days we'll be really married with the benefit of clergy and a marriage license. wink Hopefully, my wonderful employer that shipped me to Ohio won't remove my 'husband' from my insurance in that time!

Married the very best man in the world 04/06/2013 after being common law for too long. I'm a lucky woman.

Last night was chicken wings, homemade fries, and mixed fruit. Then we camped out on the living room floor, watched movies, ate popcorn then sherbet.......we all ended up falling asleep on the floor. It was awesome.....except for LR being a little sore from the hard floor. grin

Does it get any better than that?

In 1986 we got evacuated from our seaside campground in Ocean City, Md, by Hurricane Charlie, and spent the night on the gymnasium floor of Stephan A Decatur HS in Salisbury. My children to this day can remember the excitement of sleeping on the gym floor, amidst hundreds of other displaced vacationers, and waking up to Red Cross cornflakes and milk.

Good for you, kiddo!

Sweet and Sour chicken over rice here.

My stewed chicken should feed us four times, if I'm careful about portions. Good, cheap fare this week!

Last night's dinner was Cream of Chicken stew over rice.

Two cans of Cream of Chicken soup, (I forget if Al used water, probably did though), and some combo cans of peas and carrots.

Tonight's dinner is the leftovers, Cream of Chicken Rice Goop. (Mixed the rice into the slow cooker with what was left of the stew)

It has a goopy consistency, BUT it is VERY delicious goop. laugh

Haha, that sounds about right. Only there was so much extra in there that there's no gravy, it's all soaked up.

We're eating on it for a third day, there was so much of it!

Completely out of groceries...so take-out taco pizza (multigrain crust with chicken) with extra fixings on the side (salsa, sour cream and jalapeno peppers).
