    Sitting in the front row on this one. First to comment. Ok, here goes:

    1) Roxanne Kristina
    http://www.sharingnotes.blogspot.com

    2) Puget Sound, freezing my butt off because today is chilly. Not really, but we had several days of clear, blue skys which we Seattle-ites crave like an expectant mama to a pickle. Slightly overcast causing me to need light jacket. So I whine a bit.

    3) Christ’s child in the classroom of life, wife, mom, teacher. As of last night homemade cake maker. Made first chocolate cake from scratch for cousin. It’s in a post titled, “Compimentary review” (http://sharingnotes.blogspot.com/2008/07/complementary-review.html). Cake in second video of that post. Yum! Also fan of “10 Items or Less” on TBS. Mad it is not up for award. I need people to start watching. It’s where “Office” meets “My Name’s Earl.” So stinkin’ funny!!! I am sure the writers went to my high school and did a character study when they created roles. I know I went to high school with each of them. Still figuring out which character I am like. For now, my favorite is Ingrid. Please watch it. I want to talk about it with someone.

    4) Too much. Two teen boys, one preschool girl, friends, friends, friends = 3 to 4 gallons of milk a week.

    3) what are you? I’m a wife, daughter, sister and soon-to-be Mother (i’m 5 1/2 mos preggo!). I also work at my church as the Communications Director.

    4) how much do you spend on groceries each month? Hmm I’m sure it will go up soon with our little addition, but I try to stay under $150 for the month…it depends on what I’m making for dinner.

    I am in Brunswick,ga
    I am a wife, mother, friend,disciple-r, singer…. you know me!

    2. Where? Back in Switzerland – Yeah! Not that I don’t love my US of A but my bed is here and I can go outside without thunderstorms, smog or smoke right now!
    3. What am I? A wife, a mommy, a gardener, a housekeeper, a cook, pool girl, household accountant, part-time worship leader and avid reader. I’m tired. That’s what I am – but a happy kind of tired.
    4. How much on groceries? Ugh! Too much. For our family of 4 – about $800 per month. More if we have guests. Mind you – We pay about $6/gal for milk and about the same for a pound of butter. A box of Cheerios (only one variety available) costs $7.8 and Shredded Wheat or Frosted Flakes about $6.40 – just to put the high cost in perspective.

    2) Minnesota, USA

    3) child of God, wife, daughter, sister, friend, creative deep thinker person

    4) groceries, huh? Well, it depends on how you figure. Actual groceries (as in stuff you buy from a grocery store) … it’s about … $250-280. However, my husband almost never eats at home, so that is mostly what I eat. (now that looks high. But I can never fit my grocery bill in the budget.) So on food … it would be considerably higher if you count things like fast food and stops at the gas station (where he gets most of his sustenance).

    4) how much do you spend on groceries each month? (ie: $375)

    $250 – It’s has been a lot harder to stay within my budget this year then any year I can remember. If things don’t change then I’ll be one of those guys pushing the shopping carts around at the supper market. :) That wouldn’t really bother too much because it would mean I was healthly enough to work.

    Brandy:

    Well Coupons, I buy in bulk, and we don’t eat out much. Farmer’s market. Twice a year we buy a 1/2 cow and store it in a freezer too. So no meat to purchase in other times.

    Now, I don’t use name brands either unless it has a coupon. (except for Ice cream :) )

    I always go to the store where it doubles and NO I am not that annoying woman in front of you with coupons, If I go coupon shopping I go real early like 6 am to do my shopping.

    We don’t eat filet mignon either.

    I wish and sometimes do splurge and we go above that budget, but with good faith
    we keep it right around 300.00.

    I am Melissa Irwin and I blog at http://www.untilthejasperwalls.blogspot.com

    I have always and forever, lived in Nashville, TN.

    I am a wife (coming up on 7 years). I have 3 sons, ages 19, 3 1/2, and 1 1/2…(I know, I’m NUTS!) They are Spencer, Asher and Shawn. Shawn, the babe, has Down syndrome which presents challenges, but has blessed me beyond measure. I love Jesus, love studying the bible, meeting with my bible study wild women weekly. I love my church, Crosspoint Community. I’m a Realtor, and thankful to be busy. I LOVE my job. I love being a mom more than anything.

    Groceries….I don’t even want to know. Our youngest son has Celiac disease too, so he has to eat Gluten free (very expensive). We never eat out and we don’t buy junk! I’m guessing…$450ish. Like I said, I don’t want to know.

    1) who are you? (name, silly)
    Um…Well, my nsme it’s Silly. It’s TheNorEaster. But most people just call me Nor for short.

    TheNorEast. Also known as Number 2 on your little list.

    3) what are you? (britney spear’s nanny, SAHD, pastor’s wife, retiree)
    Hmm…Can you be more specific…?

    4) how much do you spend on groceries each month? (ie: $375)
    For myself, not much. That’s because my dog, Sam, gets all of the good stuff. And his grocery bill comes out to about $160 a month. And if I have enough left over, then I treat myself to some dippy eggs with turkey bacon and honey sausage over french toast with syrup topped off with strawberries and whipped cream.

    Who are you? Julie from http://jewelsightings.blogspot.com

    Where are you? Ellijay, GA (Appalachian mountains)

    What are you? I am a daughter of God who has been ruined for the ordinary. I am a mother of 5 children ages 21 to 11, a wife of 25 years, a lover of the relationship with Papa God, a writer of the soul.

    How much do you spend on groceries? Hopefully for everything between $550-$600 for a family of 7, it all depends on how much the teenage sons eat! : )

    To answer a question you had on another post. “Does this mean that a little wine is OK?” Jesus said, I tell you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it anew with you in my Father’s kingdom.” I’m just sayin……
