Rockford got home from a 12-day overseas trip late Thursday night, and I greeted him with hugs and a completed house project. We’ve been talking about taking down the wallpaper in both bathrooms and repainting — one of many projects we planned to do when we moved in and have yet to start — and I figured I could get one of them done while he was gone. I told him that I was working on a surprise for him; he thought I was making a scrapbook. I’m not known for my DIY prowess. I spent the better part of five evenings on a ladder, but I got it done. I was pretty pleased with myself.

We started on the second bathroom this weekend, and so far it’s been a lot more work. There’s more wallpaper, for one thing, and from what we can tell it was applied straight to the drywall with no primer so it’s been a bit of a beast to remove. I’m hoping we’ll have it done by the end of the week.

Here’s what we’ll be eating this week!

Monday: BLAs

The good bacon was on sale!

Tuesday: Chicken enchilada casserole

I was going to make this tonight, but I forgot the chicken and it’s cold outside and warm in here and I don’t want to go out.

Wednesday: Meaty macaroni

Pete requested this. It’s a Velveeta boxed thing.

Thursday: Pizza subs

And Poppy requested this!

I’m linking this up with OrgJunkie.com’s weekly Menu Plan Monday thing.
