Bandwagons, menu plan Monday

A post-surgery menu plan

2 Comments

Rockford is saying goodbye to his gallbladder early tomorrow morning. He’s a little bit concerned that it’ll forever affect his ability to eat fatty and fried foods, so he spent the weekend eating cheeseburgers, pizza and fried chicken just in case. We’ve stocked up on brothy soups for him, but I’ve also planned a rather bland menu for the week just in case he’s up for something more than soup.

Monday: ??
We have a good deal of running around to do this evening, so I’m guessing we’ll be eating out.

Tuesday: Lucky Charms?
I’m not sure whether or not Rockford will want to eat anything, and I’m happy eating cereal for dinner. The kids might demand more, though. We’ll see.

Wednesday: Baked chicken and rice
I bought Shake and Bake.

Thursday: Breakfast for dinner
Hopefully egg white omelets are an acceptable thing for someone without a gallbladder, because that’s what we’re having.

Friday: Poppyseed chicken casserole
It’s innocuous and delicious!

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

Bandwagons, National Blog Posting Month

Three posts that never saw the light of day

1 Comment

My computer has been on its last legs for awhile. On Friday I tried to update the operating system, and I think I may have pushed it over the edge altogether. I can’t access any of my photos now, and it takes a good 30 seconds for the text I’ve typed to show up on the screen. I’m going to take the computer over to the fix-it shop sometime this week to see if they can retrieve my pictures and then I’m going to try to blog using the iPad for awhile. And then maybe someday I’ll get a new laptop.

Anyway, yesterday Vikki at Up Popped a Fox wrote about the stuff languishing in her Drafts folder. That sounded like a fine way to spend a day of NaBloPoMo, so I’m copying her today. Desperate copying of ideas is the true spirit of NaBloPoMo, after all.

So here are a few gems from my Drafts folder:

Here I am not blogging on my blog
Bloggity bloggy, I am not blogging.
That’s the entire file.

My Blissdom 2013 notebook: “Uninterrupted Thought” with Megan Jordan
I have a problem, and it is technology.
There’s more of this one. It’s nearly a fully formed post, and I’m not sure why I never posted it.


I made a pretty sweet, Pinterest-able graphic with a cringe-worthy BuzzFeed-esque title, but I never actually wrote the thing.

On a positive note, this exercise may actually lead to two posts later this month.
