I Slaved Over a Hot Stove!

For at least an hour and a half!

Yes, it's true; I prepared animal flesh, using heat and various other ingredients. I also prepared a few vegetables, those among the few I can eat. Everything is neatly packed up and frozen and marked so that I can pull out all the parts of a meal I need, and even not eat the same thing every day.

Then we ordered pizza for dinner. It's possible that I don't have this exactly down pat yet.

(When I was a kid, my mother would ask me every single day what I wanted for dinner the next day. I absolutely hated this; why was it my job to decide what dinner would be? As a result, I now give dinner minimal thought. Usually around 5:00, K or I will say to each other, What do you feel like eating tonight? I am the anti-Shirl. And she probably asked me because I was a picky eater, and she preferred to make something that I would actually eat.)

When I talked to R last night, she insisted that the registration was in the car, so I looked again this morning, and it was. It was not in the little registration holder, where it was supposed to be; she had just shoved it under the pile of everything else in her glove compartment, still in the envelope it came in. So I'm taking it in tomorrow. That'll be one less thing to worry about. And I even remembered to register my car and the Hubs' online today, and took care of K's tuition bill. I am so accomplished today!

And now I'm going to collapse, thank you, and either start a new book or play solitaire for hours and hours. It could go either way.

  1. The only reason I have been so vigilant in meal-planning lately is because I am trying to save money. I used to be very "it's 5pm, what's for dinner?", but then I realized we were eating out a lot. Like A LOT. It gets expensive on one income, let me tell you.

    If I don't plan out the meals for the week, we will go out far too often. So in being organized, I am hoping to avoid spending money. It's sort of working thus far...

  2. Yes, Burlwood in Meredith. I just love it. It's got something for everyone. Except it doesn't have a cook that makes a meal and orders pizza afterwards. Apparently you already have one of those. LOL!
