Life is starting to have a sense of normalcy, at least as normal as it seems to get around here. The girls are still sick; these winter storms play havoc with their asthma, so it seems we will be in this mode indefinitely. I’m trying to organize my life more and to that end I have begun planning menus again. I’m am doing it electronically now, as opposed to writing it on paper each week. Lindsay set up a calendar for me in Thunderbird (similar to the Google calendar) and I have created different categories for everything from menus, to bill payments, to birthdays. Each category is color coded, which helps me when glancing at the calendar. On the right side of my e-mail window is a box that has reminders in it of what is on my calendar for today, tomorrow and soon. I think this will help me keep things more organized, at least in this regard to my life. Here is a picture of this month’s calendar, if you click on the image, a larger one will come up.
Around the house I am in a major organization push. Last night I rearranged the living room. I still have a few things to do, but they are sort of like giving a pig a pancake. First, I have to empty and move the bookshelf, then Gene has to install a phone jack, then I have to empty the desk in my room and move it to the living room, after that I have to move the girls’ computer to the family room, and then move the table that their computer was on, to my room where my desk used to be. Whew!! I’m out of breath just typing that! I hope to post pictures along the way.
Here is my menu for the week, I hope to add some recipes from it as I cook them.
Monday: Bar-b-que pork and skillet potatoes
Tuesday: Soup made with ground turkey
Wednesday: Breakfast pizza
Thursday: Taco Quesadillas
Friday: Italian Shepherd’s pie
Saturday: Red beans & rice
Sunday: Roast chicken, stuffing & sweet potatoes

Lora, I like your calendar idea but I just can’t seem to get a digital calendar to work for me. I am hoping to put more time into trying this year.
