Week 12 Craziness!!

This week is gonna be CRAZY. Cate and I are driving 751.04 miles alone together. (See title of post.) As luck would have it, both sets of our East Coast parents will be in Utah visiting the same week, and my brother is supposedly graduating from college, so time to hit the road! Thankfully my dad will be with us on the drive back, so only 1-way of total, absolute, sheer craziness.

Anyway, between work, packing, exercise, drinking my daily amount of water, trying to be a good mom and volunteering from 5-10pm the day before I leave...I'm going for EASY meals this week (enter Trader Joe's...so sorry to the TJ-less people out there!). No meals at the end of the week since Cate and I will be movin' on down, movin' on down the road. And no worries - I'll still be posting on the trip!

Here are our empty road trip goodie bags...what yummy things will find their way inside by Friday? And when is Trader Joe's going to start paying me?

This week's Song of the Week may cause me to lose some credibility, at least with staunch Republicans and country music haters. Oh well - I gotta be honest about what I'm listening to while I cook! Drumroll..."Silent House" by the Dixie Chicks. I'm not a huge country person, but I have always liked the Chicks...and I bought this BEFORE they won all those Grammys (that may have been a little overboard)...despite all that, I really do like this album - there are some good songs on here. The harmonies on this song are very pretty.

POST YOUR MENUS! Post anoymously if for some reason you don't think it's good enough (which is silly). We all want to know what you're eating! :) Also, since I'm not full of real menu ideas the next two weeks, peruse past weeks' menus for inspiration!

Jane, Travel safely friend! That is one fabulous drive, speaking from experience. If you get bored/tired enough, give me a call and I will share some of my craziest stories to keep you awake. I have some doosies (is that how you spell it?)! Jacob will be in Egypt this entire week, so I am a little too available as far as time. Have fun and be careful!

Oh Flap Jack Jane, those were the days! I'd almost forgotten. Good to know the pancakes live on. Despite his snyde remarks of the past, Michael makes quite a few pancakes of his own these days . . . at least once a week. See you in Utah!
