Pantry raid

Menu Plan Monday logoOne of my least favorite things? The packing. I’ve discovered that there are far fewer kitchen boxes to pack if I deplete the pantry before we start packing stuff in there. So this week’s theme is Eat It So I Don’t Have to Pack It.

Monday: Turkey sandwiches

Tuesday: Eggs rolls and rice

Wednesday: Mexican casserolish something

Thursday: Lasagna

The weekend went by too quickly

Rockford and I did something really unusual this weekend. We went away, just the two of us. No kids. I missed them pretty much every minute, but it was really nice just the same.

I was going to write a big, in-depth post about it. But I’m tired. So here, in brief, is what we did:

  • Had lunch with Rockford’s former co-workers.
  • Had dinner and fun with our friends’.
  • Went to a concert.
  • Helped my dad and his girlfriend move stuff into their temporary lodging.
  • Played a ton of Rock Band with my brother and his fiancee.
  • Met a woman who used to work at Shakespeare’s Pizza.
  • Didn’t check my email.
  • Had fun. Relaxed.
    • Family matters

    30 things I love about Rockford

    1. His unwavering loyalty to his friends and family.
    2. His appreciation for the underdog.
    3. He knows my limits, and he always steps in and makes me take a break when I need it.
    4. He’s so very tall. And he usually doesn’t mind getting things down from the high shelves for me.
    5. He has a great voice, and he doesn’t mind when I sing along. Although sometimes when I try to talk to him during one of his favorite singalong songs in the car, he shoots me a dirty look.
