On days like this, you know the days when the weather forecasters tell us we will not survive, I always build up these grandiose - like plans. The kids and I will "insert any number of cooking/crafting projects" and I will get "insert laundry/cooking/cleaning/organizing" done. It will be great! We're house bound! I WILL get all of this done!

But it never does.

The kids ending up watching TONS of TV while I make sure to be up on the latest celebrity shenanigans inter-mixed with sending random emails to friends concerning whether or not one should wear a fanny pack to a casino (which, I'm sorry but I'm NOT going to apologize for spending my time on such things, so there.)

I AM cooking tonight though. Lasagna, salad, garlic bread and cookies. I have a question for you to ponder: Can it really be called cooking if the lasagna is Stouffer's, the salad is from a bag and the bread and cookies are frozen? I say yes. What say you, internet?

YES!! What would it be otherwise? Are YOU thawing the lasagne? Are YOU opening the bag? Are YOU toasting the bread? Are YOU doing the dishes instead of a busboy? Then it's cooking.

I'm going to start trademarking my e-mails to you so you won't steal my hilarious material. Watch, when we go to Riverwind next weekend you will lose count of the number of people in fanny packs. And black socks with shorts.

Geez, I'd love to be cooped up for a few days and catch up on DAYS of DVR. I wouldn't feel bad about it. It would be the husband that would drive me crazy, not the kid.

As far as I'm concerned, if you have to put it on the table yourself, have to push even one button on a kitchen appliance and have to clean up afterwards, it's COOKING.

If it's made from scratch, then you're pimping your inner gourmet and BETTER get a little "sumpthin, sumpthin" for your efforts later.

Welcome to the wonderful world of women twenty-first century style.

Yeah, about your comment on my blog. It was fun, but Mason will never have a birthday party like that. It seems like things keep getting more and more extravagant. I think I will stick with family parties as long as I can :)

It's cooking in my book. Sounds like a good meal.

I planned to accomplished lots on Saturday, but then the weather ended up being normal. Dang weather people, they can't predict anything! Unless you live in Woodward, and then they nailed the forcast.
