This Week's Menu

So, I've decided to plan our menu and shop by a list so we don't spend as much. So, here's this week's menu (starting with Monday, January 19th):

Monday: Lasagna, french bread

Tuesday: Bacon Cheeseburger Pizza, salad

Wednesday: Hamburger Helper, salad

Thursday: Buffalo Chicken Tenders, Spicy ranch over fried potato wedges, rolls (and maybe mac and cheese)

Friday: Chicken Quesadillas, Tamales

Saturday: Spaghetti, salad, french bread

Sunday: General Tso's Chicken, fried rice (Although, I may use this chicken recipe instead.)

I'm really excited about having menus planned for each week (I know, I'm weird ha ha. I don't have a very exciting life OK?).

Changes and Cookies

This year I have decided I need to change. I am the messiest, most unorganized person in the world. No, I'm serious, the whole.entire.world. I hate cleaning, and can never find anything because of it. I live out of the (clean) laundry basket because I don't like hanging up clothes. So, my goal this year is to become a more clean, organized person. I have been slowly improving over the past couple of weeks (well, maybe the past couple of days). I've been cleaning, putting stuff away, and even hanging up my clothes as soon as they come out of the dryer (*gasp*). I am also starting to plan a weekly menu instead of shopping and then arguing with Rodney about who is going to choose what we have for supper when one of us decides its supper time. Usually it's "what do you want?" "I don't care. What do you want?" "I don't care. You decide." and so on....and so far this week, I've heard "What do you have planned for supper tonight?" Yay! SO I will also start posting my menu for the week on Sunday nights. I'll also be posting links to the recipes and to my other blog once I post the recipes there.

In other news, we are visiting our friends, Brandon and Monica, this Saturday and I get to bake cookies! Yay! I love baking cookies. Especially since my mom brought me about 6 bags of random types of chocolate (and other flavored) chips. I'll post pictures Sunday.

P.S. I am not good at coming up with titles. (Like you didn't notice.)

I'm such a bad blogger...

I really need to post more often. I promise in 2009 I will post more. So for an update, I am not really doing much. I took the semester off and I am going to LPN school in the fall. That's really about it...Oh! and we have a new nephew! YAY!! His name is Matthew Wayne. He was 7lbs 12.2 oz and 19 inches long. So far he's a good baby. We were worried that his big sister, Kylee, (who isn't even 2 years old) would be jealous, but she's doing great and wants to hold him all the time.

Look how adorable! He's so precious!



And look at all that red hair. I just wanna eat him up! NOM NOM!!

So, that's about it. I'll try and have a more exciting life so I'll have more to update about for all of you who read my blog, which I hope is more than I think it is....

Happy Anniversary!

So, yesterday was our first anniversary. One whole year of being married. It seems like we have been married for way longer and way shorter at the same time (I know, I make no sense). Rodney got the day off, so we spent it at home just hanging out and exchanged gifts. Since one year is paper, he got me this:



And I got him this:






I know, it's not paper, but he really wanted it...so since he got me paper, and I didn't get him a paper gift, I made him this:


It's a little book of 52 reasons why I love him. He loved it. So, that's how our anniversary went.
