I finished editing my Stiletto entry this morning, spent the afternoon reading my mentee’s short story, and my evening playing The Sims 2.  But I have food on my mind.  Tomorrow I’m doing a big grocery shopping, and we ran out of so much I’m sitting down, after writing this, to make a list.  It doesn’t help that I’m watching Food Network.  It’s like going shopping on an empty stomach.

I have my birthday on Sunday, plus Mother’s Day but it’ll just be me and the kids. Nothing special and that’s great for me.  Then my son’s b-day is 10 days later and that weekend, we’ll do the big family party, where my family will drive up from NY.  I’ll do the big cooking thing, so I preplan what I’m going to buy, so I put aside enough money.

And I’m in the mood for some really good salads.  Not lettuce, cucumber and tomato, yuck.  I’m talking shrimp, avacado, romaine, and a bunch of other kinds.  I REALLY want a garden.  Too bad I live in an apt.

Off to make my list now.
