Plan and shop for my meals for the week
It's a must

I’ve been doing this for almost 12 years now. At first, the urge is to plan big fancy meals every night. Fight the urge. I’m careful to only plan one or two meals a week that will produce leftovers (we use them for lunches). The rest of the nights are small meals where I only cook as much as we need. It’s just such a relief to come home from work already knowing 1) what we’ll have, 2)that I have the ingredients to make it and 3) the recipe is ready to go. No last minute trips to the grocer!



Get a tattoo
I know what, but not where...

I’ve decided on what I want – just a short motto “Ancora imparo.” Meaning “I am still learning”. Somewhat more appropriate for 70 year old me than something related to my current interests. Now I just need to decide where I’d like to place it. I’m leaning toward someplace on my arm – still thinking about size, font, orientation and exact placement. And wondering if, in the end, I’ll chicken out.



send more mail art
Lot's of fun!

Thanks to sites like swap-bot.com, I’ve been sending a lot more mail art. Right now I’m fascinated by myrioramas… myrioramii? whatever. So, this is an ongoing thing, but I’m going to retire the goal to make room for others!
