Day 83, May 12th

I should first remind you all that I have become a couponer.  Not an Extreme one yet, probably largely due to the fact that I wouldn't be able to store 28 boxes of pasta in our house, so for now, a regular couponer.  With my coupons, and ads, I had planned on going grocery shopping Friday night (wild I know) while Ryan played baseball.  My other new thing, as lame as this may sound, is to plan out our dinners for the upcoming weeks.  I found that either we were eating the same thing, or boring things, or going to the store 4 times a week to pick up one thing for dinner, and frankly, this madness had to stop!! 
With two full weeks of May ahead of me, I printed out a calendar, googled, weekly dinner planning, found a cute little blog that addressed my exact need, and planned out our dinners for the rest of May.  Ryan and I both love cooking, but unless we know what we're going to have for dinner, our conversation mid afternoon is always the same, What should we do for dinner tonight? On This Week for Dinner, there were weekly menus posted, along with different recipes to try, so I was very excited to have found this, and start our new dinner plan.  Our life will be changed forever!!! Or at least, we will start having new and delicious dinners at home.
So, now that you have that back story, on to Thursday!! I had a Board Meeting after work on Thursday, so wouldn't get home until late, which is why the grocery shopping trip couldn't happen until Friday, which is also why our dinner was a hodge podge of food we happen to have lying around the house.
Ryan slaved over dinner while I worked late curing diabetes :) When I got home, we ate dinner and I told him how exciting our life was about to become with our planned out meals! He, maybe not as equally as myself, was also excited!!
