Menu Plan Monday

Our week looks easy, thought not necessarily healthy.

My daughter-in-law made the most delicious taco soup for our Sunday night meal, so we'll be eating those leftovers for lunch today.

Dinners:
Monday - Meatball subs and oven French fries.
Tuesday - Pan-grilled chicken with Italian seasoning and Uncle Ben's long grain and wild rice and French-style green beans.
Wednesday - Cheese tortellini with vodka sauce and garlic bread.
Thursday - husband's night out - kids' choice dinner out with mom.
Friday - usually pizza night, but we may stay in and eat Bertolli chicken florentine instead.

Menu Plan Monday is hosted by Laura at I'm an Organizing Junkie.

Sunday Scrappin'

Won't you join us for Sunday Scrappin'? You would think with a week off I would have plenty of time to scrapbook, but, it was not to be. I spent a couple of days with my mom and I spent a couple of days in bed sick. I did, however, create one page. All I have to do is place the photo on the mat and journal in the tag. The picture didn't turn out very well.

I would love to get another page or two done this week for my daughter's senior year scrapbook, but I go back to work tomorrow, so we'll see. I hope everyone else has a productive, scrappy week!

Thursday Thirteen

I decided to forgo the traditional "13 Things I am Thankful For" post this year, and instead, amaze you with my eclectic personality as is shown by the following 13 songs that are on my iPod. (LOL)

In no particular order:

1. Lido Shuffle (Boz Skaggs)
2. Dream On (Aerosmith)
3. Don't Go Breakin' My Heart (Elton John and Kiki Dee)
4. Mayberry (Rascall Flats)
5. Misty Mountain Hop (Led Zeppelin)
6. Love Train (The O'Jays)
7. Blinded by the Light (Manfred Mann's Earth Band)
8. Magic Man (Heart)
9. Walkin' in Memphis (Lonestar)
10. Sweet Caroline (Neil Diamond)
11. Beer for my Horses (Toby Keith)
12. Live and Let Die (Paul McCartney)
13. You Had a Bad Day (Daniel Powter)

And here's your laugh for the day! A parody of "You Had a Bad Day."


Now go visit more Thirteeners! Happy Thanksgiving!

Wednesday Website

Have I got a website for you today, thanks to My Kitchen Table, a blog I found through BlogFrog.

The website is called Organized Christmas, and if you know me even a little bit, you know I love to be organized! This website has some creative ideas and free printables everyone can use. There are TONS of holiday tips! Then, you can find a recipe for snowman soup or reindeer chow which make great teacher gifts (inexpensive, too), and you can print the tags and recipes for free. There are free printable gift tags and suggestions on making gift baskets.

And if this weren't enough, you can download and print free holiday planners. I usually make my own, but with being sick right now, it doesn't look like that's going to happen, so I better start printing!

I hope you will check out Organized Christmas. I'm sure you'll find something useful.

(This was NOT a paid post! I found the website totally by accident and loved it and just had to share with all of you.)

Send the Get Well Fairy

My regularly scheduled posting is interrupted...

I haven't been this sick in a long, long time. Low fever, aches, stuffy nose, chest congestion, cough, sore throat, headache, and no energy. If I didn't know better, I would think I had the flu, but I've had my flu shot this year just like I have every year for as long as I can remember.

I had big plans for this holiday week, and I got to do a few things I wanted to do, but it looks like the rest is cancelled, including plans I had with friends for tonight. I'm supposed to cook a turkey breast and homemade cornbread dressing for my mom, kids, and nephew. Not sure that's gonna happen now. I can't be around my mom while I'm sick. She had another chemo treatment today and can't risk getting what I have. Black Friday shopping is out of the question at this point, not to mention starting my Christmas decorating and doing some crafting.

Anyway, if you see the get well fairy, will you please send her my way? I'm going to go rest again.
