I'm a once a weeker....

Well, it appears that I only update this ol' blog on Mondays. I'm okay with that until I have more interesting fodder for you. Perhaps when we set our date and I have wedding things to post, my life will be more interesting to you. Yes, we're still waiting. The ACC did not release Clemson's schedule last week much to my chagrin. So, the fingers are crossed that this is "THE WEEK" It's getting annoying answering the question "So, what's your date" or "Do you have a date yet?" I know that is a natural question, but I am vowing to myself that I will never again ask a future bride that same 4-word inquiry.

Last week went by rather quickly. In fact, I don't remember much of what went on. Obviously nothing terribly exciting, huh? On Saturday we went to an oyster roast for some friends getting married in August. And then yesterday we decided to just watch the Super Bowl from the comfort of our couch at home. We cooked wings, and I made the Velveeta and Rotel dip so it was a little like being at a Super Bowl party, but our stomachs are probably thanking us for not putting a million different kinds of finger foods in them!

Speaking of food, do any of you use www.e-mealz.com to plan your meals and grocery list? If you haven't heard of this, check it out. You pay $15 for 3 months- about $1.25 per week, and they will send you 5-7 menus each week, complete with recipes and a grocery list. If you're on any kind of diet, you can specify that, as well, and they will calculate points (for Weight Watchers), etc. for you. In addition, you can select which grocery store you shop at (if it's on the list) and they'll calculate your cost of groceries. I have not been using every meal they send, but I like the fact that I have new options to work from, and all of the recipes so far have been fairly easy and very good! Definitely check this website out! (And no, I am not receiving any compensation for this)

On another note, my grandmother is in the hospital with what has been diagnosed as early-onset congestive heart failure. They are keeping her a few days to remove the fluid from around her heart, and then she will be given new blood pressure medicine, as well as a new diet. Please say a prayer that this all goes smoothly. She is already protesting that she can't give up her bacon...oh gracious! Her chf is the direct result of high blood pressure, and there has been no indication of damage, so if she will adhere to the new regimen, she should be fine. So, maybe my mama needs a prayer, too- a prayer of sanity that I know she'll need when she tries to keep my grandmother on a stricter diet. Poor mama.

I hope you all have wonderful weeks, and if you'd cross your fingers for me for the release of the ACC football schedules, I'd appreciate it!
