It's November! I can hardly believe how fast this year is going. There were so many things I wanted to do in October, and accomplished approximately none of them. That's okay - I did some fun things anyway, and the work will still be there waiting for me when I get around to it. It has been raining here, and I am sure I will be suffering from sleep schedule changes this whole week (thanks, Halley), so I'm going to try to keep suppers simple. I miss living in AZ and not having to deal with time changes.

It's the first full week of school and it's HOT down here in the dirty. That means looking for quick/easy dinner ideas. I've also been scrolling back through older posts to see what we haven't eaten in a while - those three weeks without a real refrigerator were tough on meal planning, so I went back to the end of school and before. We have our official ceremony to welcome the new junior class on the first Sunday of the school year, and they schedule it at 6:30 pm. I don't know about you, but that's just about the time I want to be eating supper! Since I lit a candle this year, and Darren was out of town for a wedding all weekend, there wasn't a lot of time left for cooking, so we had take-out. The busy season has begun! Here's to a great school year!

I can hardly believe summer vacation is over and the school year starts this week. Our new MSMS juniors are on campus, and the seniors arrive on Wednesday.

When we moved into our new house last month, we knew we would have to buy a refrigerator. What we didn't know, is that the doorways in this house are so narrow, that many refrigerators won't fit! We didn't know that until they came to deliver the first refrigerator and couldn't get it in the kitchen. So we had to order a different refrigerator, which took 3 weeks to arrive... It finally came on Friday, so instead of semi-homemade meals and daily or every-other-day grocery trips, we can get back to meal planning and grocery shopping once a week! Hooray!!

The move is ON! We got the keys to our new house on Thursday, and we've been prepping to move in. We have moved two loads from our storage unit into the house and we've got two rooms taped and ready to be painted. I plan on painting the master bedroom Monday so it will be ready for our new bed. Tuesday and Wednesday, I'll try to get the living room and den painted, as the bulk of the furniture will go in those rooms. It's going to be a busy week, as I'll be trying to get as much done as possible so we can start moving furniture soon!

The meal plan is a little late this week. We went to visit family for Easter, and I have today off work, so I didn't do the planning on Sunday. I'm planning today, and I'll go grocery shopping in a bit.
The weekend coming up is my 20th high school class reunion. I went to a residential high school, so it's not like we're going back to visit our hometown. I now teach here, so it's kind of a wild ride. I am so excited to see everyone, and we've got some great events planned! Needless to say, we'll be eating out a bit more than normal this weekend, but I am really looking forward to spending quality time with old friends!

It's Easter week, and of course, Darren and I do not get the same holidays... We won't get to spend much extra time with each other, but we will each get a day with our pooch, so that's good.
We mostly enjoy living in our small town, but we don't have access to some of the ethnic foods we could get in Phoenix, so I ordered some curry paste online, and we are having Thai curry at home for the first time since moving here. We've got two pretty good Thai restaurants in town, but we also like to make our own dishes at home. I also recently discovered Rachel Cooks Thai, so I am pretty excited.
