Woohoo! (Karen, you do like pink, right?)

Hey! Good morning!
Today I have supernatural powers. I called my buddy and she was getting ready to leave so that we could go walking (I treadmill and we chat and walk together, the buddy system!), here’s how that conversation went:
Buddy: I’m getting ready! Putting my shoes on! You ready?
Me: No! I don’ wanna do it! Noooo!!!
Buddy: Yes you do! Go get ready! It’s beautiful here, sun is shining, I’m leaving in 10 minutes!
Me: But, but, but… I have a headache!
Buddy: So what! Go get your shoes on!
Me: Oh alright. Fine. Putting my shoes on.
Buddy: What the?! I just looked outside, it’s POURING rain & the wind is blowin my trees so hard they’re
almost touching the ground!
Me: No way! It’s sunny! (muaahahahaa)
Me: You better hang up the phone, you’re going to lose power!
Buddy: No, I still have power!
Me: Not for long… (muaahahaaa)
Buddy: Static, crackle
Me: Go get your cell!
Buddy: Ok! Click.
Incoming call from cell:
Buddy: The power is out!
Me: I know! (muaaahahahaa)
Buddy: Static, crackle
Me: Your cell tower is going to go out now, too! (muaaahahhaa)
Buddy: Lost signal.
Incoming call from cell:
Me: I told you!
Buddy: Static, crackle
Me: Call me when it’s over!
Buddy: crackly “OK!”
Click.
See? I really didn’t wanna walk. You can’t make me.
In other news, I added a Chatbox under the “Have Fun!” menu on the right. So if ya don’t wanna reply to an entry, or if you’re just stopping in for the first time, say HEY over there wouldja? It’s a fun thing! No e-mail addy required!
Caitlin thought up today’s Holy Crap Calendar™ display. I’m not even sure how accurate it is now, so bah, I may either count up or skip down. It’s not a matter of not knowing how to count (I do have a calkeelater), it’s a matter of being in the Military. (No, I don’t think my supernatural powers will work on the military. bummer.)

It has occurred to me over the last couple of weeks that (duh) I’ve pretty much forgotten how and, more importantly, what to cook for a family of four over the last 18 months.
The girls and I are easy, you know? PB&J, Mac & Cheese, Grilled cheese, soup, pasta with chicken, just small light things. I can do that. (read: McD’s, Wendy’s, BK… oopsie)
Now I’m sitting here thinking “I’ve got to make a grocery list”. Huh? What do I put on it again? Milk and cereal? Chicken? What do I do with the chicken once it’s home in the freezer? Yea. It’s that bad.
There are a couple of things that are our favorites. Those – no problem. But the poor boy has been eating out of boxes and MRE bags for 18 months. I need some HUNGRY-MAN type meals. Boy’s got an appetite you know?
So if you know of a nummy, hefty meal that any hungry meat & potatoes kinda guy would just dig into without a second thought, drop those recipies here in comments for me (and any other interested party), wouldya?
Pretty Please????
THANK YOU!
P.S. Lolo? If you’re reading this, you could link to your favoritest since I know your blog is chock full of good stuff?
