What a couple of weeks! MPM - Late!

We have been crazy busy the past couple of weeks, and on top of all of that I have been swamped at work. I am not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing. I really like what I do, but sometimes I just need to come up for air and see the light at the end of the tunnel, if that makes sense. I am big into time blocking, not sure if you know what that is, but I like to block portions of my day (my whole day) to dedicate to certain areas in order to accomplish something. I have not been able to do that in two weeks which is tough now because I feel like I can't finish anything. I am working from home for a portion of the day today, so I am hoping I can feel as though I have accomplished something today!

I didn't get to post our Meal Plan for the week earlier this week, so I thought I would do it today, so that at least I can keep track!

Monday - I took the leftover mini meatloafs, chopped them up, leftover herb sauteed mushrooms, added some mushroom gravy and served it over mashed potatoes. We had a night home to just catch up!

Tuesday - JLM Meeting. The boy warmed up leftover pizza and I don't think I got dinner. We were really busy with a cookbook case sale, I didn't even get to see anyone really!

Wednesday - I made two meals tonight. We like to have things we can bring for lunches, and I am also still working to clean out the freezer! I just pan fried some simple thick cut pork chops and cooked up some acorn squash in the convection oven. This time though, instead of brown sugar like I usually do, I used real maple syrup, NUM! We both loved it and I think we were both a little sad when it was gone. Then I made a huge pot of White Bean n Ham Soup . We love this one, and with a piece of crusty bread and a piece of fruit it makes a perfect lunch! It is also so easy to make and I had some leftover ham in the freezer so it was a good use of that!

Thursday - We are off to see the screening of "When in Rome". I don't know too much about the movie, and it doesn't come out until the end of January, so this may be a rough cut. I am meeting my JLM Mentee for a quick bite first and then she is joining us, so that should be fun as well.

Friday - One of my favorite wine tastings of the year at The Lexington, sisters J & S, as well as S's husband and maybe our friends M & M. Should be a ton of fun and there are always some spectacular wines there!

Saturday - Leadership and Lattes in the morning for JLM, it is a communication training session and that is an area that can ALWAYS use improvement! Saturday evening the boy and I are headed to The Opera. We are seeing Casanova which I am really looking forward to! There is a cocktail reception before at The St. Paul Hotel which looks beautiful from the outside, but I have never been inside and I am looking forward to it!

Sunday - I am looking forward to a low-key day and getting caught up on some things as well as doing a little shopping. . . .

Holiday Annual Party invitations go out today, the list has grown again this year, but it is always so much fun. The boy and I had fun picking them out and choosing the wording.

We need to order our holiday cards and finalize our shopping lists! Trying to make time to get organized too!
