Menu Planning and Bullitpoint…
Menu Plan Monday (I am attempting this!!!):
Monday- Wheat Ravioli with Marinara Sauce, Salad
Tuesday- Home Made Chili, cornbread
Wednesday- Chicken Tenders, baked macaroni & Cheese, broccoli
Thursday- cheese and sundried tomato paninis, tomato bisque
Friday- cherry and fig stuffed pork loin, squash chowder, home made bread
And now for the bullitpoint part of today’s agenda:
– Last night we were out on the town celebrating Rabekah’s 20th birthday! Woo Hoo…
– Genny has the most enormous school project due in a week. It is incredibly huge, especially when you consider that this school has minimal expectations of her in all educational areas…
– I love Barnes & Noble. (just felt you should know…)
– Although i had 211 posts on my reader, I did not read all of them… (no way…) What I said was that I read the top post (at least) of every blog I subscribe to.
– Someone tagged me for a Meme. I saw it yesterday… But now I can’t find it. Help?
I believe in fairy tales…
I think there is something about fall which stimulates my visual/audio senses…
(Actually, all of my senses, I guess. The autumn air smells and feel better than that of any other season. )
But I have to take a minute to say it:
– I love fall tv. (The Office tonight!!!)
– And the promise of decent films in the theatre as the Idaho Film Festival gets underway (hurrah!) and Oscar season approaches.
– I hold Ellen DeGenerous completely responsible, but i LOVE the new Kanye West single… And the new Britney single (gasp… I am not a britney lover but man, can a girl move to that song…)
– every kind of music, these days, sounds clearer and more invigorating! (must be a Fall thing)
– Heroes was flat out, fantastic. (despite having to watch it online because my DVR became obstinant)
– I have loved it for over a year, but never grow tired of the song FIREFLIES by Faith Hill. It’s definatly a girl song, if you don’t know it- hear it… Escpecially those of us with little girls. Truly lovely song!
And, lastly, the number one reason I love Fall: CHRISTMAS SHOPPING BEGINS! :)
(Oh yes, and Genny has settled on Wednesday Adams as her Halloween Costume aspiration. Bekah is going with her, as Morticia Adams… These girls…)
Highlights…
… from an otherwise horribly crappy day.
– a long, wonderful phone chat with Jennie.
– Reading poetry with my daughter.
– Iced Tea
– That it’s only an hour and ten minutes before Lost’s season finale. No more TV committments for months!!!
– Nearly three hours of sleep last night. Big Improvement!
– That we are mere days away from our Air Conditioner finally being repaired!
– That we are on the verge of a three day weekend.
– “Yo Ho, Yo Ho, A Pirate’s Life for Me.”
– Clarity.
– A great talk with Denae, the early stages of Wedding planning spoken in Whispers.
– That my sister in law Tara’s baby is healthy and her pregnancy is going well.
– inside jokes.
