Western Caribbean Cruise

I told some of you that my friends were going on a cruise and that we couldn't afford it, but I found out that I had my facts all wrong, and.....now WE ARE GOING ON A CRUISE! I am so excited. It is an 8 day Carnival cruise on The Miracle. We leave from Fort Lauderdale at 4:00 p.m. on February 1st. We will stop in Belize, Panama, and Costa Rica.

We will be going with Mike and Luz Stock, President and Myra Salmon, Bishop and Joy Rose, James and Julia Ahlstrom, Randy and "T" Harris, Joe and Mandy Buck, Mark and Lisa Wilcox, Scott and Jamie Ipsen, Steve and Tammy Nordfors, Larsen and Julie Alder, Mike and Jamie Salmon, and more. We have a whole year to prepare. I hope I can wait that long.

Dejunking

I finally have all of my Christmas put in the bins and now David needs to haul them to our storage. Now, I realize that I have a lot of dejunking to do. It gets so overwhelming, but I would love to get rid of some of the "stuff" around here. There is a little voice in my head that always says, "No, don't get rid of that. You may need it." I need someone to come hang out with me and give me permission to throw things away. The invitation is out there for anyone interested.
Well, I guess I had better get going. I doubt anyone will be helping me, so I had better get moving.

What's For Dinner?

Ugh! I think only a mother can understand that feeling when everyone is starting to feel hungry and asking, "What's for dinner?" Most of the time I am pondering the same questions. Tonight, at 5:00, I hurridly defrosted some hamburger, put some rice in the rice cooker, opened a can of refried beans. I have some tortilla chips, but I wish I had sour cream, lettuce, and some corn (I may have some frozen). I have got to get better about meal planning. Is it easy for anyone out there? Any tips or secrets? If I could figure out what is for dinner tomorrow night, could start planning and preparing (at least in my head).
