I'll be back soon!

In addition to some other New Year's resolutions that I made for 2016 which is surprising because I haven't made a New Year's resolution since 2003 which is when I quit smoking cigarettes....January 3, 2003, so today is the 13th anniversary of not smoking cigarettes......I am also going to start blogging again.....
I think I need more of a routine than I've had the last 15 months and since I'm not taking any classes this spring semester, I'm going to devote more to doing things in a more scheduled way.  As far as my blogging, I'm shooting for twice a week....three at the most if I have anything extra fun or interesting to share (which I know is in the eye of the beholder), but I hope you enjoy letting me share.
One of the things I'll share next week is something I've been working on since summer......meal planning!  Although our son still lives with us while going to school and working, we don't see him much at meal time, unless it's pizza or pasta, so I am back to planning and cooking for two again and after almost 30 years, I'm getting tired of coming up with weekly menus......
I am married to man that wants to know what's for dinner and he's used to having that information, but I'm getting burnt out.....doesn't make sense considering I have the time but it's just coming up with things so we aren't eating the same things all the time.
I call it "30Plan" and all you need are index cards and a good pen or make a template in your word processing program.  You'll also need a small index card box (I'm planning on making mine) to hold the cards and I'll probably embellish mine out with my scrapbooking supplies.
Can I tell you how much a love index cards?  I would but that could be a whole blog post in and of itself.....I used them for so much things.   You can also use card stock or whatever you have, just make it index card size....3x5 or 4x6.
and if you've stopped by, thank you.....and next week I'll share with you something that has made meal planning for me a lot more easy AND I have a bunch of crafty things to share too!

Awaiting the next installment of this topic. Sounds like something I can borrow to make my life easier.

I'm so glad you are blogging again. I just started back up myself. I've always loved your blog! It makes me feel like we're soul sisters of sorts. We enjoy so many of the same things!
