I must say that doing Menu Plan Monday last week was a huge success for me. It was as simple as thinking up a few meals ahead of time instead of 15 minutes before we should be eating. Somehow, that takes away so much stress. Strange. Monday - Cookout with friends Tuesday - Spaghetti using the already cooked ground beef will be ready in the … [Read more...]
Maybe it’s not just me?
I visited orgjunkie.com this morning. This is the site that hosts Menu Plan Monday, which is always so fun to visit. She also has great organizing tips and is extremely encouraging. But . . . she's one of them. You know, the people who actually get excited over organizing something. They buy adorable little organizing tools, and then, get this, … [Read more...]
Am I afraid to call myself lazy?
At this point I have no readers. The understood "you" in all of these posts doesn't actually exist. However, I find myself hesitant to say certain things. Sometimes it is because honesty hurts. I'm used to putting a positive spin on things that need to be said more bluntly here. Sometimes, though, it is because I am afraid of offending someone. … [Read more...]

Aaaahhhh
My kitchen isn't small, but most of the time my workspace is. My decent-sized counter is usually completely cluttered at each end, leaving just a small amount of space between the stove and the sink. Somehow, in my mind this is justified. One side is for snacks, and the phone sits on the other side, so I guess it's a message center. But it isn't. … [Read more...]
This is why I have this Blog
I just looked at the time on this post. I'm learning that blogger puts the time on the post as the time you start writing it. Normally annoying, but this time I'm glad. I sat down to write my daily checklist, with the desire to be brutally honest about not having accomplished much today. Then I saw that I had a COMMENT!!! I was so excited as it … [Read more...]
