How (not) to Menu Plan


Shirt: Gap // Tank: Kohl's // Shorts and sandals: Old Navy

I think it's time for the topknot to disappear.  It looks ridiculous.  
I've been doing these low side-knots lately.  I know it's okay because I see other people (out and about) doing it too.  You know what's not okay?  The topknot.  

Also, on this day, the high temp was a balmy 72 degrees.  Shorts were iffy, which is why I went with the long sleeves.  To me, this is an exponentially warm summer.  Everyone else is walking around all confused about how "not hot" it is.  I don't get it.

Onto the point of this post...

I've reallllly been slacking on the menu planning lately.  Well, maybe not the planning aspect.  The execution is just incredibly weak.  I take the blame, of course.  I don't know if it's lack of desire, depressive tendencies, or just laziness.  

Here's what happened last week.  

Monday: I didn't feel like cooking, even after I'd spent $80 on groceries.  (Something about [shudder] Wal-Mart makes me not want to cook.) Scott came home from work early and ate some leftovers.  I ate a quesadilla.

Tuesday: Scott had to work late.  I ate lunch leftovers from Buffalo Wild Wings (followed by ice cream, of course).  I did make this Creole Shrimp and Rice and took it to Scott at his building on base.  I had a little and it wasn't bad.  He really liked it.

Wednesday:  I made the Greek Chicken that I was supposed to make on Monday, with a Tomato/Cucumber Salad and couscous.  The chicken was meh.

Thursday:  Scott had class after work.  He came home to change right after work and told me he'd had Wendy's on his way home.  I had a quesadilla.

Friday: Scott had a field trip (seriously).  I had a quesadilla.  But I did get my act together and make the black beans I'd bought a few weeks ago.

(Count the quesadillas so I can double-check my math.  I got 3...you?)
