When you live alone & don't plan, you end up eating yogurt, pretzels, and ice cream over the sink

LOL! I completely understand the benefits of meal planning, I just haven't made that leap yet. By nature, I am very lazy and procrastinate any chance I get. I have made great strides against my grain this past year+ after starting my new job. I get all of our lunches made (the kids' and mine), I know what I am going to wear in the morning, anything that I need to bring to work, or need after work, I have it ready to go, and I've been making my coffee (for iced in the morning) - all the night before. And have been getting to bed at a very reasonable hour for the time I get up. You don't know how against my nature this is. One of these days, I'll make the leap to meal planning and I hope you girls will still be around planning!

I do like to see what your plans are for ideas!! Thanks!!

I believe it is a sacred duty to eat as many BLTs as possible when tomatoes are in season
