Meal Menu planning...bleh

I added a new link to the blogs I love. I have searched for a resource to help with my menu planning and grocery shopping because my menu gets...well mundane. Not to mention the fact I never thought I would be a person to do menu plans and grocery lists, done listed by the aisle/section. But, turns out it makes grocery shopping a lot easier. Also, it makes putting away the groceries easier once you get home...your cart is practically organized by section and so it is bagged the same, and once you are home it comes out of the sacks together and go in the same places. Convenient, I know...who'da thunk it? (Megan, that's who. You can't tell me that's not who popped into your mind!)
Anyhow...I stumbled upon Eat at Home . Again, I've searched for sites like this but a lot of the good ones charge you a fee to use them. This one is free...so far as I can tell! She provides you with a meal menu consisting of (if I remember right) 2 crockpot meals for busy days, 1 meal that you double up and freeze half of...and others. One night she leaves up to you. So: Meal menu, grocery list, and recipes! It lists all the weeks she's done, you can choose the one you want; the link shows you the meals with links to the recipes or you can just choose the link for printing option and it has the menu, list and recipes all together and ready to print! I am soooooo relieved to have a little help.

I like that link. Now find me one for a single girl. (I mean ... not "single" single, but you know, one that still cooks for herself alone - single.)

Stranger Danger

Ok. So, we've talked to M about strangers a bit, telling her to be safe and what not. A couple of times she brings it up when we say no she can't do something and she says "because there are stangers?" or some such. We haven't talked about it recently, but apparently the message stuck: We were at Wal-Mart, had just finised checking out and J went to use the restroom and M wanted to get a drink from the water fountain -I was still a few steps behind, so M said "Mom will you come a little bit closer?" and I said yes, and she continued "because you wouldn't want a stranger to grab me." I smiled and said "No I wouldn't like that." And she said "You would say 'oh no! someone has taken my child!" At which point I couldn't help but laugh and tell her how much I loved her.

Clearance Puppy

This has been a really crazy weekend. Thursday J got a call from a breeder he had been speaking to 3 or 4 months ago. We were going to go look at a puppy of his (with no real intention of buying) back then, but when we called the breeder said he just sold the last female 2 hours previously. Then on thursday he called to tell J that a buyer backed out last minute and J has first chance at getting her, so Friday we went to see her. She was discounted for us (and b/c she is older now, I think) and much more affordable - and so we brought her home, and her name is Sugar. Sug (shoog) for short. She is very sweet and calm, and listens really well. She is a yellow lab, and for all of you who have read the book or watched the movie - yes, we bought the "clearance puppy"! And actually we stopped at Blockbuster to return some movies and a big Marley & Me poster was in the window and M said :"Is that a picture of Sugar?" - I hope not! Saturday was the last 50 cen...

End of the week

This week has been lots of fun. J's mom, step-dad, sister and nephew all came to stay with us for the week. We've had a lot of fun visiting, playing games, and swimming. I'm so glad they came to visit us, aaallll the way from Idaho! We're lucky they had the time and all came! They are leaving in the morning because his step-dad has to work sunday afternoon! Crazy wonderful people. On another note, tomorrow J and I will have been married 3 years. I can hardly believe it's been three years....absolutely wonderful. I have never made a better decision in my life!
