Happy January 2nd! We're supposed to get 8-15 inches of snow today. Needless to say that we are staying in and going NO WHERE (except for Hubs who had to work today). Since Christmas, I haven't really been cooking very much. That usually happens to me around the holidays. I cook my booty off and then want nothing to do with the kitchen for a week or two. But it's time to get back into the swing of things. I'm going to try to use what I have on hand instead of hitting the grocery store.
Monday:
Emeril's Tuscan Bean Soup and left over pork roast from New Year's Day
Tuesday:
Tacos
Wednesday:
Turkey Burgers and steamed broccoli
Thursday:
Homemade pizza
Friday:
Tuna Melts and Italian style green beans
Saturday:
Roasted Chicken, rice, and peas
Sunday:
Left over and clean up day
The boys are off of school until Wednesday. I thought they went back today, so it's a good thing I glanced at the calendar or we'd be sitting in the school parking lot right now. Activities start back up for them today, but due to the weather, I think we'll be skipping those. No point in risking our lives for Tae Kwon Do. I also hope to get caught up on laundry today and I'm planning on finishing taking down the rest of the Christmas decorations. Most everything is down and put away except for the tree. We bought a new tree last year and paid extra for the GE constant on lights. This means that when one light burns out the whole set shouldn't go out like on the older model lights.
See that bottom middle spot on the tree that isn't lit? Yea, that's the "constant on" lights not constant on. I can't figure out why they won't work (tried the Christmas light gun, and then removed every light not working and replaced it with a new bulb. Also replaced the fuses in the cord). I don't want to put the tree away until it's fixed. It's better to deal with it now than next year when we're all excited to get this tree up. Plus it's only a year old so it should be still under warranty. Hubs was going to take the bottom half back to where we bought it tonight but with this weather, it'll have to wait. We may be rockin' Christmas for a few more days.
Have a wonderful week! If you're in the path of all this snow, stay safe.

Jesse doesn't go back til Wed., either. I'm so glad -- I've seen several FB friends talking about going back today.
Too bad about the tree lights! Good thing it is still under warranty.
I don't envy you the snow. I'd stay in today, too! Stay safe and warm.
Happy New Year to you and yours, dear Janeen! Christmas has finally been put away and I now have more time to concentrate on my blogging. I'm looking forward to some quiet days ahead:-)
I just read your post about Christmas and I'm telling ya, if I'd been there, I would have been hopping up and down and screaming if I'd opened up that gift stating that a Disney trip was in order! lol Kids just never seem to react the way you expect them to sometimes, do they! Loved looking at all the pictures and I really noticed how big the boys are getting, not babies anymore:-)
It was strange to have a green Christmas over here, we're not used to that at all. This week we've had snow...better late than never I guess. lol Not enough to go snowmobiling so a lot of grumbling is going on amongst the enthusiasts. Today it was a "high" of -1F...too darn cold to snow!!!
Looking forward to another year of your delightful friendship. xoxo
