Menu Plan Monday!

I plan out our week of meals almost every Monday, so here I am now following the blog-crowd and doing a Menu Plan Monday post! :) Menu planning helps save money when you grocery shop (because you only buy exactly what you need!) and it helps cut down on the weekly stress because you know what you're going to make for dinner before 5:00 rolls around!

• Monday - Pizza casserole
• Tuesday - Chicken w/ Wild Rise, sauteed Asparagus
• Wednesday - BBQ Pork sandwiches, Black Bean dip w/ chips
• Thursday - Tortilla soup, homemade sweet potato chips
• Friday - Leftovers!
• Saturday - Mexican Mac & Cheese, fresh Green Beans
• Sunday - haven't gotten that far yet!

Does anybody else do weekly menu-planning?

Poll

I've decided to take a poll: For those of you who wear *bling* on your finger (yes, diamonds!), do you take it off when you: 1.) Shower

2.) Cook (dough, etc)

3.) Do dishes

4.) Work-out (weights/machines)

5.) Garden

6.) Wash hands

7.) Use lotion

I've had issues with loose stones and have been nervous about wearing it while doing certain things. I'm just wondered if I'm being paranoid or if other people take theirs off too.

Friendship

This might sound rather cliche, but it truly is the quality rather than the quanity of friends that matters most to me. These girls have been there through the thick & the thin, the good & the not-so-great. How I thank God for the gift of their friendship in my life!

These two girls were the Maid & Matron of Honor in my wedding. It was a day I will never forget, with friends by my side who will always have a very special place in my heart.

A Friend is someone who knows all about you and loves you anyway!
