Here's the color commentary inside my brain.

just finished a two week menu plan, and related grocery list. now, how many of the meals listed will week actually eat in the order prescribed - or for that matter at all - need more consistency in life.

haven't finished the garden plan yet - and by haven't finished, I mean I haven't started yet. too busy chasing kids and crap the past 2 weeks to really feel like I'm getting much of anything done.

reading "The Road" not sure if I like it. it's brilliantly written and all, but am feeling depressed without a mood elevating psychotropic in sight. i'm thinking it ends badly.

laundry room needs repainted - badly. my "free" help that painted it a couple months ago did such a craptastic job that you can actually see the drywall underneath in more spots than I care to count. and you don't exactly have to be staring at the wall to see them! Ugh. I should learn just to do things myself instead of wasting the materials by having to redo it later.

sewing pile has not been touched since last week - see aforementioned lame reasons of kid taxi-ing.
need a break and some decent sleep. also a trip to the eye doctor wouldn't hurt. thinking about lasek this year.

looking at the snow back east and wondering how people are doing? were they scrambling to the store between storms, or sitting back with cocoa, venturing out between storms to restock a wood cabinet.

Hmmm.  I've lived on the east coast, and I'm willing to bet that all of the "out to eat every night because we are both too tired to cook" people in my old cul-de-sac are about ready to eat their arms off. this thought amuses me for a moment, then I realize that's not very nice, even if they never did return the garden shears they borrowed.

reading up on Iran and the kook that runs that country.  i feel sorry for the majority of Iranian people that are suffering at the whim of this nut job. pretty sure most of them think he's as crazy as I do - unfortunately, for them death is swift for those that question. really not in favor of the buddy buddy system they've (I mean Amadinejad) has got going with Russia, China and North Korea. It's like reading prophecy - and all you're missing is some nut job to jump start the process.  read an op-ed today about Israel most likely course of action. I've read the book, One Second After, it scared the hell out of me. (but in a good, motivational way)

did my taxes - you're welcome washington.
