  This is week 24 on creating a meal plan for the week.   Just when I am getting back into it I stop!  The reason being is we had the big storm that hit our area right before the 4th of July and that messed up the whole week because we were out of power for 108 hours.  Yuck!  It was no fun.   I've decided to change things up a bit.  I'm starting this post super early (Thursday) so that I can get it done on time!   I'm so proud of myself for this.  It will give me enough time to think about the up coming week and get it posted!

This is week 21 on creating a meal plan for the week. This is a busy week but slow week since the weather has been raining.  Hoping the rest of the week will be a bit nicer so we can go outside some.    I'm excited to say that I got a lot of birthday freebies like I did in 2009 that I will be using in the next couple of days before they expire.  (I wrote the post back in 2009 so some of the freebies aren't available anymore and some new ones are.  So I plan on writing an updated version soon. )  I got a coupon for a FREE burger at Ruby Tuesdays,  and a FREE meal at Silver Diner!  Looking forward to enjoying those. Monday: Breakfast: Cereal…
