I'm sorta sure that if you read my blog you are thanking me right now. I decided to say bye-bye to the music. It totally got on my nerves every time I viewed my blog and I can just imagine how other people feel. I have muted every computer in our house so I don't have to listen to it when I plugging around my blog. Nothing against the music - I love those songs - I just don't need the distraction.

Bobby & I got a laptop for Christmas and Santa brought the kids one of their very own. We are in computer heaven around here. Now we are not all fighting over the same desktop tucked away in our office. I have discovered my newest favorite thing about a laptop. I copy and paste recipes that I find online - when I'm ready to use them - I just pull them up from my documents. My laptop sits right there with me in the kitchen and it is easy as pie (not literally - I don't really bake).

Which brings me to-

I have committed myself to cooking at home for several reasons:
1. It saves lots of $$$
2. It is definitely easier to count calories
3. I sorta like it these day
4. It makes our evenings easier - not having to get ourselves together and out the door
5. We can eat healthier - nothing fried

I think it is all about planning ahead. I can't tell you how often through the Holidays that it is suddenly 6:30 and I haven't a clue about "Whats for dinner?" I am finding this to be the most dreaded time of day. So, my commitment (or resolution??) is to play out a week's menu and cook at home.
