Menu Plan

Monday - Chicken and Rice
Tuesday - Leftovers of various sorts
Wednesday - Out to eat. We're looking at houses in town tonight, so it'll be an opportunity to be in a place with actual restaurants!
Thursday - Poker night, so leftovers or sandwiches or something
Friday - Roast and Mashed Potatoes
Saturday - Party that involves a whole roasted pig. Not sure if I'll be able to make it! I'd rather that my food not look like an animal.
Sunday - Dinner/Movie with friends?

I finished up the closing of my house Monday, so now we're free to look for a "forever house". It will be nice to live closer to my Mister's work since he currently has a 45 minute commute each way and works long hours anyway. Plus, living in town will give me the option of working for a local company if that's what I decide to do. I really don't think I want to work full time anymore. We'll see. Working from home is wonderful, but I'm not sure it's worth all the crap I have to put up with in my current position. I've had too many livid days lately from dealing with nonsense.

In other news, I fired up my sewing machine for the first time since I moved last night. You know what's sad? When your sewing materials get separated into different boxes. I was excited to find my thread and bobbins only to realize later that I am missing my seam ripper. My seam ripper is heavily relied upon! So I ripped seams with a pin and scissors last night. :) One pair of pants mended, one more to go! Although, I couldn't get my bobbin to wind last night, so I hope something didn't get broken on the machine during the move.

Time to go grocery shopping...

Menu Plan

Monday - I took some manicotti I had pre-made and frozen, covered them with homemade alfredo sauce, and baked them. Also made a Red Lobster biscuit clone to go with them. So good.

Tuesday - Potluck! We have dribs and drabs of stuff that needs to be eaten up. *This just in! My sweet husband took some of the dribs and drabs to work with him today, so I'll be cooking after all...I think I'll make chicken tacos.*

Wednesday - Probably Hamburger Helper. I know, that's not really cooking, but we have some in the pantry and I've got hamburger meat, so might as well use it.

Thursday - Leftovers

Friday - Mexican chicken casserole. Nom Nom Nom.

Weekend - Combination of leftovers and maybe a crock pot meal. Depends on what we get up to.

A Few Faves

Here are a few of my favorite honeymoon pictures (without editing...some could use some cropping). We had a great time. We got to visit El Yunque rainforest, went snorkeling on a coral reef and swam with HUGE schools of fish, and visited Old San Juan and toured the El Morro castle among other things. We got shaved ice in the city and it was literally shaved. The guy shaved it off a huge chunk of ice. We didn't get to visit the bioluminescent bay, so we'll have to go back sometime!
