If you had no time to go to the store or make something, get a gift card.
Shay Fei Fei loves Amazon gift cards because they are extremely practical.
Don’t forget to have fun with your mom’s tomorrow or call them up to say Happy Mother’s Day!

Shay Fei Fei and Nomo’s challenge today was to replace the dead toaster.
The old toaster oven stopped working. This was realized last night while making dinner. We were supposed to have Parmesan Chicken. After the alarm went off, the chicken was still raw.
Shay Fei Fei wanted the replacement NOW so online was not an option. Tough luck Amazon.
Winning Deal:

In lieu of a gym membership and trainer, ABL has her work out corner.
For motivation, ABL watches The Biggest Loser.
It’s great seeing these people transform. See Michelle from Season 9.
I enjoy watching the trainers Bob, Jillian and Dolvett motivate the contestants. Each week is a breakthrough and a challenge. Currently it’s on every Monday at 8pm. If ABL misses it, she catches previous episodes on HULU.
