Meal plans and the week ahead

We have a pretty low-key week this week. We're headed to church this morning and we're planning to do some cleaning and throwing out of junk this afternoon... I also have some work to do. We're headed to Sears tonight to buy an elliptical (they have a special friends and family sale from 6-9 tonight). I also need to make something to take in to work tomorrow to celebrate a colleague's marriage. Tuesday afternoon is my WAPF chapter meeting and I'll be going out to dinner with some friends from high school. Friday we'll go pick up the elliptical. Saturday morning we're planning to go see my niece and nephew play basketball.

I am hoping to get a lot of planning and cleaning done this week. We'll be leaving for Arizona before we know it and I feel like we have so much to do before then. I want to get the packing list done this week and finish up some shopping for a few things we may need. I also need to make some more progress on Carson's new bedroom. Not sure what else, but I hope its a productive week!

Yeah for the eliptical!!! How exciting. I'm sure you're anxious to use it.

Enjoy a low key week and all your prep for AZ.

I think I jinxed myself by saying this is a low key week. :) so far, its been far from low key with work stuff. I ended up working quite a few hours yesterday (skipped church b/c of it) and didn't get home till after 8 tonight. :-/ we'll see how productive the rest of the week is...
