Cooking Leaf?

ok, so I just came across a website for cooking - why i didn't look into it BEFORE i spent over $50 on cookbooks, I don't know, but at least I kept my receipts ;-) Anyway, so here's what I think I'm going to attempt: http://www.prevention.com/article/0,5778,s1-3-82-301-3918-1,00.html. Well, that and a few other things. David just went to work and since I've been hounding him for the last several days to pick out some recipes, he finally came up with this wishlist for the week:

• 1 Italian Dish with either a ceasar salad or a greek salad with plenty of feta, along with a tuscan style ceasar sirloin (geesh, he's not picky or ritzy, is he lol)
• 2 Fish Dishes, like a seafood kabob (no scallops, of course) and a Southwest Salmon (minus the spices for me)
• 1 Wholewheat Pita Bread Pizza - toppings of my choice
• 1 Chicken Taco meal with no-transfat shells for him
• and the rest we left up in the air

Am I really going to cook all of this for him this week? I don't think so! Why? A few reasons: 1) it's expensive to buy all of this stuff and i still can't cook all that well, so I'd rather not waste money, and 2) (the bigger issue for me) I don't think he deserves it - not yet anyway.

He's been 'studying' to get his real estate license for several months now (a waste of money, it seems), but I just rekindled the flame last night & I'm hoping it will take affect here soon. I told him THIS week he has to attempt and pass it, and he says he'll try. God, please grant him everything he needs to make it happen!

As for myself - I'm sitting inside on the first gloriously warm day since 'winter' hit. I should be outside in a hammock, but I couldn't find the extension cord for the laptop and the battery drains quickly. It's old and not worth buying another battery, since I plan on getting another computer here soon. So, here I am, instead inside the office, which looks like a disaster zone! Thank God for Lehua, who came over Friday to keep me motivated while I went through the bedroom and gave it a facelift. It looks so much better now - I love it! As for the office ... well ... *sigh* ... that's another story. You can see that I came in here and started looking for recipes, instead. *chuckle* Ah well, procrastinator anonymous, here I come ... tomorrow? *smirk*

Can you tell, yet, that I get easily sidetracked. My brain thinks of so many different things that I can't seem to keep it focused long enough to finish the various things I start. I'm working on it, though! *hope* I suppose that with that I should close up this entry and attempt to continue the other things I've already started today, but have left unfinished. *pout*

PS - Daylight Savings, I think!, happened last night. Just figured I'd mention it.
